It’s almost spring baseball time. We were lucky enough to head south for a spring training trip with some local studs. So lucky to have these opportunities with people like @sseipp24 @KeeganSeipp @KannonSeipp @lindemann_brody @SamNoascono @tomnoascono @Illinois_Elite1

Trying to make some off-season adjustments and always trying to improve @Gap2Gap618

[YouthBaseballThoughts @youth_thoughts]

Let’s see if anyone can help us out. Throw out any ideas or just retweet. We are looking for 10-12 exercises for 13-14 year olds to incorporate into 8-10 week workout plan 3 times per week. Any ideas or help is appreciated through the off-season

If our focus is primarily on youth pitchers, age 9-13 are these suitable flexibility and strengthening activities in addition to arm care

Here is video of 2025 @t_kramkowski (Belleville East,IL) of the @GatewayBruins pitching last night. He worked easy into the low 80s and sat 79-80 in the 6th. Went 5.2 allowing 1 ER on 2 hits with 9 strikeouts in the win @BaseballLancers @PBRIllinois

The rain makes playing baseball tough right now but it hasn’t stopped him from trying new things

@youth_thoughts I just realized I never shared anything. I've been learning a lot over this off season. I had a really good team last year that didn't reach their full potential, I've adjusted my usual plan to create a more challenging/ competitive environment. #youthcoaching

[YouthBaseballThoughts @youth_thoughts]

@mac_jw11 I love it. I’m stealing WIN for sure. What a great start

[YouthBaseballThoughts @youth_thoughts]

Happy 12th birthday to my guy. YBT in the flesh enjoying the day.

One hand backhand, two hand catch cover, catch cover bring to shoulder, then put it all together with foot work.

[YouthBaseballThoughts @youth_thoughts]

Thank you to the few new followers. No criticisms just yet but I got one DM and one text message. First thanks to @sseipp24 for volunteering to help record some new drill videos. That is currently in the works. Also our infield progression is one hand forehand,

[YouthBaseballThoughts @youth_thoughts]

Here is practice plan #1 for first year 12u Softball. We use the same stretching / warm up routine #youthcoaching

[YouthBaseballThoughts @youth_thoughts]

I should also note for context our scheduled practice times are Thursday 7:00-8:30 and Sunday 11:30-1:00. That first practice was a Tuesday reschedule because of my work schedule
