What's Inside?

This course helps parents understand how to take Driveline's throwing and pitching principles and make them scale to a team setting—bridging the gap from a parent being able to work with their son or daughter to work with a youth team.


  • Learn the basics of planning practice for both hitting and pitching
  • Learn games that you can play with your team, even when you have less than an entire team of players at practice.
  • See how you can monitor a player's intent level when they are pitching.
  • See how you can plan out an entire season across playing time, figuring out when you can push your players to learn a new position.
  • See how collecting data, no matter how small, can help keep your players engaged and motivated.
  • See how you can tweak practices to make them effective in-season
  • Youth players should play multiple positions in the field, and coaches can learn how to manage and scale our playing time system.
  • Learn an essential pregame warm-up you can institute with your team.
  • Learn the fundamental issues and fixes that we often see with youth players when using bands and wrist weights


This mini-course will help coaches and parents understand how they can put Driveline's training principles to use in a youth training setting. Coaches and parents will be better equipped to plan and execute both individual practice and weeks of practices at a time.
