Baserunning Essentials
 Getting on base is the easy part!It's getting around the other 270-feet that takes extra skill - speed, timing, and opportunity. Fortunately, unlike skills such as hitting and pitching, running is something all of us do to some ability level. The challenge is to take it up a notch - not only to beat the throws, but to beat the other team mentally.  Base Path Lesson SeriesThis expanded instructional series breaks down base running into each stage, with illustrations and animations (for Team Player program members). Also listed here are the essays by elite instructor Rick Johnston for coaches and players who want background and reasoning behind recommendations for high-level competition.
The Full Listing
For those interested in just the highlights, simple tips are available as the 'Short Course'. There are also links here
to drills and related pages on building a better running team. Going Beyond
Here's additional information and links within WebBall to help your understanding of the "need for speed". The pitching link will help you, as a base runner, appreciate the tactics used to stop your advance.

Product Guide
True story - we once improved a player's baserunning ability by about 25% without changing his mechanics - we just encouraged him to wear spikes better suited to his body type and running style.
