Split the children into pairs 1's and 2's but different from their last pair. 1's will be batting and performing the straight drive off a Tee hitting the ball between 2 cones. No 2's will be stopping the ball and replacing it on to the Tee 3 turns each. Demonstrate or use one of the children as the example. We are looking to have a sound base with the head in a optimal position ready to hit the ball with the full face of the bat.
Main aim of this exercise is to get the children playing with the full face of the bat, we are also looking for the children to have a comfortable set up and a solid base to play the shot.
Intstruct, praise, question (why do we need a solid base)
