We've started practicing outside, have scrimmages and games coming up. Indoor work finished 2 weeks ago.
> Now, everybody's swings are going to hell - from 3 days a week in batting cages to minimal swings at practice.
> How do you give the kids enough BP, live pitching, hitting practice during field practices. Before / after?
> Anybody else in this predicament?

Your predicament is fairly common. We (HSFP) break the kids up into groups. While a group is working with one Coach on defense the other
has 6-7 kids hitting, we then rotate. You either do ths or look at what your weaknesses are and concentrate on them.
