    Coach JP review Good team defense wins games!
    Any youth coach can be trained to teach, learn & execute with this easy-to-learn knowledge base provided by Coach Mitch Thompson of Baylor University.

    You will quickly learn to anticipate the lead runner and keep away from giving up those killer big innings (in 65% of all games the winning team scores more in one inning than the losing team scores the entire game).

    You'll learn the basics of cuts, relays and tandems, and the team communication that it takes to get it right come game time.

    Then watch as Coach Thompson takes you through 20 different animated chalkboard situations of typical singles, doubles and even bunt situations, followed by a "live" practice demonstrating each of those situations. featuring Baylor University players.

    Powerful stuff presented by a quality instructor!

    CHAPTER REVIEW
    This DVD offers youth league coaches a team defensive plan and approach, with progressions in several different areas. Baylor assistant coach Mitch Thompson starts with the three factors that every player needs to consider on defense:
      1. Always think ahead (anticipate).
      2. Communicate with other fielders.
      3. Anticipate back-up plays.

    These fundamentals are then applied to numerous defensive situations your team will encounter. Thompson explains each play using animated diagrams, which are followed by live demonstrations.

    Team Defense is recommended for those working with players aged 10 & up. The 57-minute DVD has an introduction, conclusion, and 5 chapters of instruction and drills:

    1. Cuts and Relays
      (outfield throwing rules, communication schemes, back man, cut off man)
    2. Tandems
      (tandem position, outfielder keys)
    3. Game Situations
      (singles, doubles, bunt coverage)
    4. Flyball Communication
    5. Rundowns
    * Don't let any of the terms above confuse you....the DVD explains them completely.
