Typical Team Warm-ups All too often I see pitchers and position players begin their warm-up routine by simply starting to throw. Warm-up Properly to Combat Injuries and Increase Performance To combat injuries and take control of your warm-ups, start implementing a dynamic warm-up before every practice or game. J-Band Routine. Physical Cues: Focus on maintaining your posture throughout each exercise.

Think about keeping your ribs down and core engaged. Before each exercise pull your shoulders down and back. Why should you complete these exercises? No Bands, No Problem Although I highly recommend band work, there are other upper body dynamic warm-ups that you can complete without bands.

And how do you know if your warm-up is good, no matter what age or skill level you coach? The biggest thing your pre-game should do is prepare your team for the game. While that sounds obvious nothing in that statement says it has to take a certain amount of time, or involve specific equipment or space, but only that it prepares your team for the upcoming game.

Hitting: Have the focus be building confidence. Remember that you're warming your players up to hit in a game which means they'll be hitting balls coming at them in the air, not worrying about back elbows or specific parts of their swings, so minimize the number of hitting drills you do or eliminate them all together.

If you feel like you must do some hitting drills then only do 2 or 3 and let each player pick their favorite ones - again, pre-game warm ups are about getting ready for the game by building confidence and getting warm, it's no longer the time to try and build swings and make mechanical corrections. Belief builds confidence so instead of running everyone through the same 5 hitting drills let your players pick their top 2 or 3 and then let each player go through their "Hit List" in pre-game if they need to.

Give them good pitches to hit and easy pitches or tosses that let them hit it hard. Now is a time when it's ok to "end on a good one" and to have "just one more".

Front tossing whiffle balls from about feet in front of your hitters is great if that's all the space you have. Be careful not to go miles an hour with your tosses! It's not about speed of the toss or how many tosses you can do in 30 seconds!

Letting your hitters have 5 good, solid hits does way more for their confidence than quickly giving them 20 crappy tosses of which they barely hit 6. Think about it - how long should it take for each of your hitters to have 5 good front toss hits?

Maybe 10 minutes!
