I'm not sure as of right now. I haven't seen them practice. The ninth grade and JV teams last year didn't look too good, so that's what I'll have this year.

I would go back to hammering the fundamentals early on in the first two weeks or so of practice. The importance of staying down on the ball for infielders, pitchers emphasize following through and using the legs to push off, outfielders using two hands and getting a good crow hop, catchers staying down and using the whole body to block the ball.
