I watched your video on the fear of fielding. What tips or drills do you have to teach diving plays for the ball. It seems similar in that fear seems to be a factor that prevents them from attemting to make the play in this manner.
A few tips…
1) Start from the kneeling position and start diving on the sides
2) Do it on a beach. Kids love it and you can do games.
3) Be real progressive, not easy to teach.
