10U Baseball Practice Plan: fundamentals, stations & team games.
Build repeatable footwork, accurate throws and the first defensive decisions. Use groups small enough that everybody moves.
READY-TO-RUN SESSION
90-minute 10U practice.
Stations have a purpose, a simple cue and an easy way to scale difficulty. Get every player moving.
Side shuffles, short skips, partner catch at comfortable ranges.
Field in moving lines; call first base or a safe force-play target.
Alternate target toss and glove-first receiving with a partner.
Tee or soft-toss lane; runners read ground ball vs. fly ball cue.
Coach starts runner-on-first scenarios; defense points and communicates.
One positive cue and next session’s goal.
Age-appropriate balls and gloves, cones, bases, tees or safe soft-toss station, screens, water.
Adult supervision, positive feedback, hydration and spacing between live throwing/hitting areas. Stop practice if someone has pain.

Questions from 10U coaches
What should a 10U baseball team practice most?
A balanced mix of throwing, fielding, receiving, running and simple situations works well. Adjust based on the team’s current needs and available coaches.
Can I print this practice plan?
Yes. Use the browser print button, or open the Coach’s Clipboard to customize the sport, duration and skill focus.
How do I adapt this for fastpitch softball?
Use a softball-sized field and ball appropriate for your division, a fastpitch-specific throwing and pitching coach, and your league’s rules. The softball practice guide offers an adapted example.
