The best video I have for young kids to learn how to play is called "A Coaching Clinic". It is actually for coaches, moms, dads, to learn how to teach, not as much for kids to just watch. Go to amazon.com and search VHS tapes for "A Coaching Clinic" and you will find it for as little as $3.75.

I love "the wall" drill. You throw the ball up against the wall and then field a ground ball as it bounces back to you. I can remember countless hours as a kid throwing a ball up against the brick foundation of our home, and fielding ground balls when it came backto me. I could get one-hoppers or ground skimmers, depending on where I hit that foundation. If I threw too high I would bust a shingle but after I bust a few it did not seem to matter. My parents did not care about a few busted shingles and they sure encouraged me to throw that ball, anytime I wanted to.
