Best techniques for old men(and young women) training with their sons

I just thought I would bring up two training techniques that I have learned on this site that are saving me a ton of pain right now and in the future due to my declining skills and my sons increasing skills.

Long toss from RJM. He throws and I hit them back. Saved me at least a bottle of Ibuprofen a month. Works great and combines workouts.

One I just learned(about two months two late). When catching bullpens for your son, do it behind a net. Sit on a bucket, set up the target, give your son a bucket of balls and go at it.

I really appreciate these two things and was wondering if their are any others out there that I could use to save some wear and tear on my old body.

Edited. Forgot to give Fungo the credit for the net/bullpen idea.
