Early Learning Baseball Development Video Library
Hand grip on the bat is an important part of hitting. This early learning video teaches you how to effectively teach young children how to keep their fists together when they grip a baseball bat. It is based on Jelly Bean Sports' new sports language terminology that involves aligning children's knuckles on the bat to create a caterpillar- Caterpillar Hands.
An easy and effective hand-eye coordination drill is placing a baseball on top of construction cones. In this video, we show you how baseball is kept simple and learning made fun. It is a good challenge for toddlers that are still developing the wiring between their brains and large muscle groups. Have children hit the ball with their hands and ideally then move to do the same at another cone.
Coaching young children to build focus along with hand eye coordination is a big challenge when baseball is thought about in the traditional sense. In this video we show you how to use kid-favorites, bubbles and noodles to accomplish the task. You quickly begin to see young children's focus thrives as they also have fun hitting the bubbles with their noodles.
This video shows another coaching modification for teaching young children how to hit a baseball. It is a hybrid between using a tee and soft-tossing the ball for a child to hit. Air tees keep the practice of hitting simple and makes learning fun. Instead of a horizontal plane and baseball floats in a vertical plane testing children's ability to keep their eye on the ball. We use foam noodles for safety's sake and squish balls.

Basketball is kept simple and learning made fun as early learners are taught how to dribble the Jelly Bean Way. An introductory teaching technique that focuses on the ways that young children learn best, children ages 5 to 7 years old are challenged to dribble backwards and focus all their attention on the ball.
This video is about how we teach young children to shoot a basketball the Jelly Bean Way. It is a unique translation that has much merit in consideration of what kids think about on a week over week basis. In many households, children are fed pizza at least once a week. They are very familiar with pizza and respond to talk and the terminology very well. We've used it to translate how to shoot a basketball and you can see, first-hand, why it works.
Coaching young children to play defense can be a hard proposition. They don't always completely understand the value of a defensive stance especially if it makes their arms tired as you're teaching it. So we have to translate it in a way they can buy into and ultimately learn. This is one of those ways...The Jelly Bean Way.
Basketball is kept simple and learning made fun as early learners are taught how to pass a basketball the Jelly Bean Way. This introductory teaching technique incorporates parents into the learning process. Getting children to pass correctly is very much dependent on how you set it up. In this video, children connect passing a basketball to a common farm animal. We help them learn the fundamental body positioning required when passing the basketball.
