| Start | End | Min | Activity | Organization / Setup | Key Coaching Points | Coach Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:15PM | 4:30PM | 15 | Dynamic Stretches | |||
| 4:30PM | 4:45PM | 15 | Throwing Program | Everyone has to get 2 fair bunts off each pitcher — 3 strike attempts. If they don't get it down, it's a sprint down the foul line. Keep going until everyone gets it down. | Sacrifice bunts square early, top of the zone. Breakers Bucks on the ground. | |
| 4:45PM | 5PM | 15 | Fundies Rolled/Fungo | Quick dailies, paddles ground balls freeze, paddles ground balls go. | ||
| 5PM | 6:30PM | 90 | Execution | Machine split 5v5. | Sac bunt runner at 1B. Move runner at 1B, move runner at 2B. Score runner at 3B. Get on base, no one on. Suicide squeeze at 3B. | If they don't execute, it's a pole. If the defense makes an error, everyone runs. |
| 6:30PM | 7PM | 30 | Outfield Work | Drop steps warm-up with the machine. Communication drill. Balls off the bat. | Softball suicides. |
