Bent leg slide is a drill that you can put in. You can do it once a week, twice a week, three times a week. I think you’ll find that the kids kind of enjoy it especially if you can do it on a surface that is not going to tear them up.
Nice tall grass in the outfield with a pair of sweats that mom and dad care if they get grass thing or you can do it like we are going to do it today on the infield surface, so it does not tare up their legs and does not tare up the uniforms and things like that.
It is an invaluable skill because you have somebody in the outfield that works on a daily or a game-by-game basis that would be in with a bent legs slide. If they know how to do it, they are going to avoid getting themselves injured.
Number one and number two, they will going to have a great chance of catching the ball.
There is no more technique on a bent leg slide other that it is a slid just as if you are going to slide in the second base or third base, except you are going to extend your hands. So, when the guys go out here and do it, you are going to notice them working on a regular slide. I put hem about 25 feet away from me, I will go.
Flip the ball and they will go into the slide and then they get comfortable with that then consequently, when game time comes and the ball gets hit like that, they already know how to do it and they go right into it.
It is a nice way to finish your practice on kind of a high note something that kind of enjoyed done. Fellows, are you ready? Let us do it. Go!

Bent leg slide; it is a great way to finish your practice on a high you know. You can get some kind of competition whatever you like to do. It is also a very beneficial way to teach kids how to feel that ball on either the short hop or in terms of trying to come and get the balls as hard as they can and have them to go into slide to try to catch it. Just try to do practice and you can find it can be very helpful.
