10U Baseball Practice Plan
At 10U, players move into kid pitch and can handle longer drill sequences and the first real situational baseball. A 90-minute practice gives you time to build fundamentals and start teaching cutoffs, force outs, and where to throw the ball. The key is still keeping everyone moving with stations rather than one big group.

What to Focus On at 10U
Situational defense
Begin teaching cutoffs and relays, force outs, and the idea of getting the lead runner. Walk through situations slowly, then add a runner to make it game speed.
Live and machine hitting
Mix tee and front toss for mechanics with live or machine pitching for timing. Rotate small groups so each hitter gets 10 or more quality swings.
Pitching and catching reps
Kid pitch means dedicated time for your pitchers and catchers. Build in bullpen and blocking work while the rest of the team rotates through hitting and fielding.

How long should a 10U baseball practice be?
About 90 minutes. Players ages 9 to 10 can handle 15-minute station blocks and the first situational work, but still need a brisk pace to stay engaged.
What should a 10U practice plan include?
A warm-up and throwing progression, hitting and fielding stations, a dedicated pitcher and catcher group, situational infield work, and a live scrimmage to finish.
When do I start teaching cutoffs and relays?
10U is the right time. Walk through each situation at half speed first, then add a baserunner so players learn to react at game speed.
