My favorite thing we did today:
.
Partner Coaching π³
.
Good hop/ Bad hop is a drill that's tough to grasp especially for 8-10u fielders. In an attempt to check understanding & to practice body awareness in a different way, I gave the girls the power to correct their partner and to physically move them into where their fielding position should be at contact with the ball.
.
I didn't know how this was going to go π but after watching this video back I can't stop watching:
- the embarrassment of correction is gone since everyone has a turn at it
- there's ownership of the concept since each player is the expert for half of the drill
- both players must be focused even though only one is performing the action
.
Not all corrections were perfect, but each interaction fed into a culture of learning without judgment. I loved it π₯
