Coach's Corner
The Coach's Corner was created to provide a place to
communicate the wealth of information available to the
Burlington Little League through the knowledge base inside
the mind of a really great asset we call "Coach Bartlett"!
It was difficult to place all the great information provided
here - it can't all be first - make sure you check it all out!

Here is a video I found that may be of interest to coaches:
http://www.coachkennybuford.com/ar/4drillsvid.html
The video covers 4 incredibly effective drills for increasing a hitter's power.
The first one is called the "Parachute drill"
... and the second is called the "two-tee drill"
Both of these are "full swing" drills -- they help train your hitters to take a complete cut
at the ball and follow through AFTER making contact.
The third is called the "Fast Hands" drill, and the fourth is called the "Bat Throw" drill.
These two focus on building fast reaction time and getting the bat through the hitting
zone with more speed and power.
All 4 are easy to teach, and can be done at the batting cage, in the backyard, or on the
field.
It will end with information on how to get 18 of these type of drills.
