Enjoyed the video. Thank you for posting.

These will be perfect for my 7-8 year olds. Thanks for the ideas! If you're complaining about kids eating dirt and these being too advanced, you must be boring them. Get parents invovled, run these drills and see what happens.

[basementriffs]

None of these kids are 7-8 year old and most 7-8 year olds can't throw the distances shown in the videos.

If my seven year old in his fourth season of baseball can do these drills then i don’t need this video. I need a private coach because he is going to the majors. These kids are juiced and im pretty sure that pitcher in the 4th drill drove there.

I did 7 of these today with my 6 and 7 year olds and it went great. Not sure what’s in the water for the people on here saying their kids that age eat dirt. The best one was blast ball but with wiffle balls because I could not find any blast balls! Brian from California.

Ummm is there a drill to get my 7-8 year olds to stop playing in the dirt and eating dandelions?

[SP-uhcl]

Pepper with 7-8 year olds is asking for serious trouble lol

[dr]

The title of this video should be the worlds largest 7year olds

[brianpeixoto]

What do I search on Amazon for those blast balls? I can’t find them anywhere.

[anthonyroyster]

Most of the are not meant for most 7-8 year olds. I could maybe use 2.

[zacturf-n-sports]

My son is 8 now, but even when he was on the 7 U travel team those kids can play. He plays center and anything hit in the outfield our kids catch. Just have to practice and rep.

[roncedad]

That pitcher is like 13!! Any 7yr old that can just get it across the plate is a victory

[joshaw]

These are definitely not for 7-8 year olds. I’ve seen two pop flys all year and i could totally see a kid taking a full swing in pepper and hurting someone.

[ajallday]

If these kids are 7, Grizzly Adams had a beard.

[JimJamJ]

Drills for 7-8 year Olds if they're birth certificates are signed in crayon

[mck]

Yeah. Not for my 7 year olds. Theyre good but not pepper good. 😅

[slappykyl]

These kids are closer to 10-12 which is basically irrelevant for actual 7-8 year olds

[Marius]

Question: im 30 years old, i live in norway, with no experience with baseball. Is it any possibility to ever play in the mlb league with the correct training?

[roncedad]

No 7yr old should have another one toss a ball to lightly hit it back at them!!
