Day 2: Your regular-pitch timing
One small skill. One game. One thing to remember.
Foundation
Use five comfortable tosses to learn your regular timing. Work slowly first, then try the small game. A parent or coach can help.
The reason
The same comfortable stance can work for different toss speeds.
One cue
Stay ready, make a safe choice, and try again.
Keep it simple
- Stay ready, make a safe choice, and try again.
- Practice in a safe space with an adult and stop if form fades.
Keep this
Today I can practice your regular-pitch timing with control.
Before you go
Show or explain the best choice you made today. What will you try next time?
Ask after practice
Tell your adult: What went well? What will you try next time?
Ten-chance skill game
Use five comfortable tosses to learn your regular timing. Try up to ten comfortable chances. Give yourself a point for each focused try or smart decision, even if the result is not perfect.
Bronze 4–6 · Silver 7–8 · Gold 9–10. A better score replaces your previous score, without stacking points.
Day 2 complete?
Mark complete after you try the lesson. You can change this later.
Practice safely
Practice with an adult, a clear hitting space, and age-appropriate equipment. Start with dry swings, a tee, or gentle toss. Stop if anything hurts.
If something hurts, stop and tell an adult. Keep throwing within your league’s rules and the player’s comfort.
