I've got roped into coach my son's t-ball team (5/6 yrs). Obviously, I am not going to try to teach them the nuances of a big-league swing. That said, I would like them to walk away better off than when they started. After the first couple of weeks it looks as if the major faults are they tend to hold the bat tight against their chests, and they like "stepping in the bucket". Any suggestions as to sequencing of priorities and drills, keeping in mind short attention spans, would be appreciated.
