Скачать или смотреть Three Training Phases a Pitcher MUST Know

Three phases of practices throughout the year;

Off season- Work on increasing speed and injury prevention. This is a great time for pitcher’s to increase their speed in the weight room, if they are old enough. Older girls who have pitched for several years, can put down the softball and let the weight room be their primary focus. Ask their pediatrician if they are old enough first. Younger girls who are still “coming into their own in the pitch” should perform drills that encourage strengthening the mechanics.

Pre-season- Slowly increase the number of reps the pitcher throws each week to help build endurance. This is a great time for “blocked” practice learning. Performing drills and perfecting pitches with good technique. This time is usually associated with learning and development, so encourage your pitchers to try different pre-motions coming off the mound. Changing a style now should be encouraged but changing during the season is not usually the best idea.

During season- A variable practice puts the emphasis on strategically changing pitches according to pitch count, type of batter, different umpires (different zones), outs, base running situations, etc. Put the pitcher in as many uncomfortable situations as possible (pitch with a wet ball or pitch through high pressure). Make them overcome real game obstacles with a strong emphasis of mentally staying in the moment.

Side Note- I coach college ball and we use blocked practice for growth and development during our fall season and during pre-season. The difference is that in fall (a longer time period) we focus more on growth and development, and pre-season (very short few weeks) the focus is building endurance and the number of reps. A good example of our preseason could be the pitcher throwing 50 reps the first week, 100 reps the second week, and 150 reps the third. A slower, more precise build up would be starting at 50 reps the first day of practice, then adding ten reps each additional day of practice until they are ready to plateau the number (then a shift in adding strategy to start the transition into getting ready for games begins). Travel Ball age kids have it weird because they do not get a break between spring/summer season and the fall season. Some kids are literally playing year round!
