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.
