Dual Practice?

we've practiced with another team outside before. can't do it now because of changes in our sports calendar. it was ok. wouldnt want to do it often. it was good for the kids to hear other coaches' voices. never done it inside. we didnt do anything competitive. just practiced.

We have an indoor football field to practice on so the drills and skill could be almost anything except fly balls.

Sure would be nice to be back in my home state of Texas and deal with rain. Here in Pittsburgh we will be inside because on the weather for another 5 weeks. We also play on March 15th and I do not see that happening. I'll trade ya.

Whenever we're stuck inside (like now!), I like to tie up on end of the cage/tunnel and have pitchers throw live to our hitters. We tie up one end with zip ties, measure off 60'6", throw down a plate and move in the portable mound. We put an L screen in front of the pitcher and other screens behind the pitcher as a barrier to keep batted balls from "escaping". We also throw to catchers, so they get good work also. We call balls/strikes, and make it a real at-bat.

Maybe you could have some sort of competition with the other team using this idea?
