Equipment: No portable equipment required

Set up: Pairs face an empty direction with two arm-lengths between them; no balls or bats are used. For an odd headcount, one pair becomes a trio: the third player observes outside the active path and enters after three attempts. All pairs swap active jobs after three attempts; nobody waits through an entire teaching block.

1. Name the throwing hand and gently point the other side toward a distant visible feature.
2. Step toward that feature with the opposite foot and rehearse an easy throwing motion.
3. Partner checks the step direction; swap the observer after three slow attempts.

Keep it safe: Use a soft age-appropriate practice ball and comfortable distances. Keep separate throwing or rolling lanes; stop all nearby balls before collecting a miss. No live pitching, catcher blocking, sliding, diving, collision plays or pitching workloads. Do not throw toward an unready receiver. No bat is used in this activity; keep it away from active batting and running areas. Match the challenge to demonstrated skill and comfort, not age alone. The listed range is a proposed coaching scope, not a readiness assessment.

Equipment: 1 soft foam ball per pair

Set up: Pairs stand two or three metres apart in separate lanes with one foam ball. For an odd headcount, one pair becomes a trio: the third player observes outside the active path and enters after three attempts. All pairs swap active jobs after three attempts; nobody waits through an entire teaching block.

1. Receiver holds two hands comfortably in front and calls ready.
2. Sender swings the ball low and forward in an underarm toss toward those hands.
3. Compare one toss that floats comfortably with one deliberately shorter toss; keep the one that helps the catch.

Equipment: One soft practice baseball per pair; One glove per player; 4 cones

Set up: Use four cones at the outside corners. Partners work in parallel lanes 3–5 metres apart, one soft practice baseball per pair and one glove each. For an odd total, make one trio: feeder, fielder and observer; rotate after three feeds. An extra allocated ball stays still outside that lane. Other pairs swap after three feeds. Everyone stops before retrieving a stray ball. Use comfortable grass for kneeling; anyone uncomfortable works from a wide standing stance.

1. Fielder kneels comfortably facing the feeder, glove open near the ground and throwing hand above it without covering the glove pocket.
2. Feeder rolls one slow ball directly in front. Fielder follows it into the glove and closes the throwing hand only after it arrives.
3. Fielder rises or stays comfortable and rolls the ball back. After three rolls swap roles; finish with one standing repetition using the same low glove position.

Keep it safe: Use a soft age-appropriate practice ball and comfortable distances; no maximum-distance throws or throwing through pain. Keep lanes separate; show a ready glove before every feed and stop all nearby activity for a stray ball. No hard surfaces or forced kneeling; no bouncing feeds toward a kneeling face.

Equipment: 1 appropriate practice ball per pair; 1 glove per player

Set up: Pairs stand a comfortable short distance apart in parallel lanes, with a soft practice baseball and a glove each. For an odd headcount, use one trio: the third player observes one cue and swaps in after each short turn.

1. Receiver shows a chest-height glove target and says ready. Thrower holds the ball with a relaxed four-seam grip that fits the hand.
2. Turn the non-throwing side toward the target, step with the opposite foot and make an easy overhand throw. Keep the elbow comfortable; do not force arm angles.
3. Receiver secures the ball before returning a throw; stop for every missed ball.
4. After four exchanges, partners adjust distance so catches stay controlled.

Keep it safe: Use a soft practice baseball at a comfortable distance; inspect gloves and keep all throws in separate clear lanes. No pitching workload, live pitching, sliding, collisions or unprotected catcher instruction is included. Match the challenge to demonstrated skill and comfort, not age alone. Offer shorter turns and rest; the listed age range does not establish fitness or readiness.

Equipment: 1 appropriate practice ball per pair; 1 glove per player

Set up: Pairs use clear 8-metre lanes; one rolls a soft baseball and the other fields with a glove. For an odd headcount, use one trio: the third player observes one cue and swaps in after each short turn.

1. Roller sends a slow ball directly ahead.
2. Fielder moves behind it, lowers comfortably and gathers it in front.
3. Fielder pauses to secure the ball, then rolls it back.
4. Swap after five balls; widen the feed slightly only after clean gathers.

Keep it safe: Use a soft practice baseball at a comfortable distance; inspect gloves and keep all throws in separate clear lanes. No pitching workload, live pitching, sliding, collisions or unprotected catcher instruction is included. Match the challenge to demonstrated skill and comfort, not age alone. Offer shorter turns and rest; the listed age range does not establish fitness or readiness.

Equipment: 3 appropriate soft practice balls; 12 cones; 1 glove per player

Set up: Make up to three separate squares with four cones each, sized for easy short throws. Use groups of four to six: one player at each corner and extras as observers outside the square. For seven players, use one square with three observers rotating after each completed circuit. Eight to twelve may use two or three squares. Each square uses exactly one active soft ball. No runners, bats or opposing fielders enter the square.

1. Start with every receiver showing a ready glove. Send an easy throw clockwise to the next corner.
2. Secure each catch, turn the feet toward the next receiver and throw only when that player is ready.
3. After one complete circuit, stop the ball, rotate corner and observer roles, then send the ball in the other direction.

Keep it safe: Use soft balls, short controllable throws and separated squares. All nearby throwing stops before retrieval. No live runners, double-play collisions, pitching workload, bats or simultaneous two-ball progressions. Match the challenge to demonstrated skill and comfort, not age alone. Rest or choose the easier option whenever control deteriorates.

Equipment: 1 suitable lightweight bat; 1 batting tee; 1 soft reduced-flight practice ball; 1 correctly fitted batting helmet per player; 8 cones

Set up: Coach controls a single tee and checks helmet fit; the target lane is empty. Put four cones along the exclusion line and four around the empty flight area. Waiting players observe the stated cue; nobody practises with another bat. Before every handover, the coach checks the entire swing and flight areas, including likely mis-hits, are clear. Waiting players have empty hands and watch the stated cue. After one contact, park the bat; collect only on the all-clear and rotate to the next batter. If the area cannot be isolated, use the empty-handed stance option.

1. Batter stands beside the tee and reaches the stationary bat gently toward the ball without swinging.
2. Coach adjusts the tee until the ball can be reached without leaning or crowding.
3. Make one slow controlled contact, park the bat with the coach, then rotate to the next batter.

Keep it safe: Use a soft age-appropriate practice ball and comfortable distances. Keep separate throwing or rolling lanes; stop all nearby balls before collecting a miss. No live pitching, catcher blocking, sliding, diving, collision plays or pitching workloads. Do not throw toward an unready receiver. Only the coach hands over the bat. One helmeted batter swings in the empty hitting lane; everybody else stays behind the exclusion line. Park the bat before any retrieval. Match the challenge to demonstrated skill and comfort, not age alone. The listed range is a proposed coaching scope, not a readiness assessment. The waiting area must be outside the whole swing circle and all likely ball paths, not merely behind the batter. One coach controls the single bat and checks helmet fit; never add an unsupervised batting station.

Equipment: No portable equipment required

Set up: Everyone rehearses individually with empty hands, so odd totals do not create a queue. No bats, balls or pitching are used. Coach demonstrates a small load and comfortable stride rather than a large backward sway.

1. Start in a comfortable batting stance with empty hands near the rear shoulder. Gently load into the rear leg without leaning away.
2. Take a short front-foot stride toward the imaginary pitcher, then pause with both feet grounded and weight controlled.
3. Mime the turn only after the pause, stand fully and rest. Try three repetitions and switch the observed cue from head movement to balanced landing.

Keep it safe: No forced twisting, exaggerated leg kick or repeated maximum-speed dry swings. Adjust stance and range to the player’s comfort; stop for pain or dizziness.

Equipment: 8 cones

Set up: Use four cones for a diamond and four to show a wide approach and exit around first; practise without balls or fielders. Keep one shared route with wide gaps. A new player starts only when the next route segment is clear. After one circuit, step into the outside waiting area and let the next player enter; no overtaking or crossing the active route.

1. Walk the curved approach past the first-base cone toward second, leaving the cone outside the footpath. This cone-only version rehearses the route; it does not practise touching a base.
2. If a suitable flat base is available, the coach places it safely beside the cone and demonstrates controlled contact while rounding. Never step on a standing cone.
3. Compare rounding toward second with stopping at first. One runner uses this section at a time; walk back outside the route and rotate after one attempt.

Keep it safe: Use a soft age-appropriate practice ball and comfortable distances. Keep separate throwing or rolling lanes; stop all nearby balls before collecting a miss. No live pitching, catcher blocking, sliding, diving, collision plays or pitching workloads. Do not throw toward an unready receiver. No bat is used in this activity; keep it away from active batting and running areas. Match the challenge to demonstrated skill and comfort, not age alone. The listed range is a proposed coaching scope, not a readiness assessment.

Equipment: One soft practice baseball per pair; One glove per player; 4 cones

Set up: Four cones mark the outside area. Partners work 3–5 metres apart in parallel lanes at least 3 metres apart, with one soft practice baseball per pair and one glove each. Partners alternate throws. For an odd total, one trio uses thrower, receiver and scorer; after two throws rotate thrower to receiver, receiver to scorer and scorer to thrower. The extra allocated ball stays still outside that lane. Stop everyone before retrieving a stray ball.

1. Partners choose a distance where they can throw easily. Agree that a controlled catch at the chest earns 3 points, a small comfortable adjustment earns 2, and a larger but safe adjustment earns 1.
2. Throw one ball only after the receiver shows ready; receiver calls the score without chasing a stray ball into another lane. Add to a shared pair total.
3. Pairs rest after six throws each; trios rest after each player has completed all three roles. Continue the shared total toward 21 or reset it after the rest, without adding throws to make up missed points.

Keep it safe: Use a soft age-appropriate practice ball and comfortable distances; no maximum-distance throws or throwing through pain. Keep lanes separate; show a ready glove before every feed and stop all nearby activity for a stray ball. No punishment throws, elimination or extra distance for a missed target.
