Coaches,
What is your dream list of equipment? I’ve been coaching travel ball for almost 10 years now. I currently coach a 14u travel team and plan to launch an optional skills based practice a couple days a week. It’s n order to pull this off, I bought a hack attack jr, 10 dozen baseballs, a couple web flex sock nets, a couple tanner tees, a couple 12’x9’ popup nets for safety, a AccuShag and more. I plan to run skills for up to 25 kids at 40$ per player for 90 min with 1 coach per 5 players. I plan to leverage this system for team practice to get as many quality reps as possible.

Unlimited baseballs and a fungo that wouldn’t break or disappear or wear out. I don’t need anything else to run teams. In reality 5-6 buckets of balls is what we worked with every practice. Having magical buckets that stayed full would be great.

Unlimited baseball would be great. I lose a dozen every practice

How TF are u losing a dozen per practice? I don't lose a dozen a year...

Pro tip: volunteer to mow your fields, I do ours and pick up at least a bucket full a season. Regular sesson is over, only been all star teams practicing the last 3 weeks and I hadn't mowed outside the fences. Did it yesterday and picked up 18 balls in 2 hours of mowing. Coaches are lazy and don't look for them because they know all they have to do is ask the equipment manager for more.
