Throughout the entire drill progression, Coach Jackson stresses the importance of footwork, proper throwing and angling. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThrowing Progression Program \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor most teams, practice begins with players warming up their arms with no purpose, just aimless throwing, which can ultimately cost pivotal outs in game-changing situations. Coach Jackson presents a detailed program of short, medium and long throws designed to create a daily routine for simulating game-situation throws to improve efficiency and success.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoach Jackson highlights key steps to throwing successfully like getting the ball back at a short angle, keeping the elbow above the shoulder, using a shorter arm action, getting good extension and rotation on the ball and using your front shoulder pointing to your target. He focuses his attention on keeping the feet underneath and making sure the player gets positive direction. In a simulating a relay throw, Jackson teaches players to set up parallel with their body, staying squared, letting the hands come to the middle of the body and correctly separating and rotating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eInfielder Fundamentals\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCoach Jackson reviews the fundamentals of the four infield positions, providing his insights on each one. He demonstrates positioning, footwork, glove angles, approach to ball, arm angles, ready positions and communication for middle and corner infielders.

Coach Jackson describes the proper way to field the ball using V-cut angles. He also explains the importance of hip movement in an angle, adjusting to the ball and keeping fingers on the ground, allowing the player to trust his reaction time to the ball..   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost practices are limited due to the length of field time or number of coaches.
