How to teach and coach youngsters to slide into a base using baseball sliding drills

The Guide to Coaching Sport's objective is to "train the trainers" so that you can continue to help your child develop baseball skills. You will learn new techniques and drills that will enhance your child's ability to be successful. We cover throwing, fielding, hitting, sliding, practice organization, coaching philosophy, and other fundamentals. We do all of this with one underlying emphasis: MAKE THE GAME FUN! Our goal is not to turn your young player into a professional, but to give him or her the tools for success that will make the game more enjoyable for the both of you. If baseball is your game add this Web to your favorites right now.
 
A great sliding drill for teaching beginners how to slide.

Line up your player in a single line, space arm length apart. Talk to them about the cadence of the slide. Left, right, left sit. Then have the player's start walking left leg first, right leg, left leg and then have them fall to their butts with the right leg extended and the left leg folder underneath in a figure four. Once the players get better and cadence then begin having them slowly run the three steps, left, right, left sit.
