Four Stars and Editor's Choice, Video Librarian, March-April Issue 2002
“Creative” is not a word this reviewer would normally associate with a video,... that’s exactly what Backyard Baseball Drills is"

Product Description
From The Youth Sports Club The producers of the best selling videos, "The 59 Minute Baseball Practice" and "48 Championship Basketball Drills","Championship Soccer Drills" and "Winning Baseball Strategies" comes our newest video: "Backyard Baseball Drills". "Backyard Baseball Drills" has taken over two years to complete. This creative video is geared for all parents and kids who love baseball or softball. The video is comprised of over 30 great drills that can be played in one’s own backyard. Coach Marty Schupak shows parents how to get the most out of common items found in one’s home and creates different and new baseball drills and games. Using things such as a bathroom plunger, a plastic milk container and a cinder block, coach Schupak goes through some basic drills a child age four or five can do. He also shows alternatives for baseball training props such as a "do it yourself" tarp made for under twenty dollars which does the same job as a two hundred dollar net. The video also contains some advanced drills kids ages eight to fourteen can do. This is a true baseball lovers delight that parents will use continually as a resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most Creative & Interesting Video I've Seen, May 31, 2004

By	Arnold Fogal (Savanah, Georgia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Backyard Baseball Drills (DVD)

As a parent of two wanabe Atlanta Braves, this is the most creative instructional video/DVD I've seen. My kids and I watch this over and over again not getting enough and then we go outside and practice some of those great soft toss drills in the video. When you see this DVD, you will realize that money doeasn't buy happiness. Creativity and time with your children make us all wealthy. In addition to those great soft toss drills, "Tennis Racquet Home Run Derby" and "Bubble Baseball" for the little guys are great. Besides the creativity, the tips on the type of bat to chose and breaking in one's new glove should be part of all Lamaze Classes. Love the spray paint idea on the knob of the bat to identify it is yours. We did this and it is the next best thing to having a Lojack in your bat. If your household eats, drinks and sleeps baseball you will want this for now and forever. And this is a great gift from a grandparent like ours. You will be "safe at home" with "Backyard Baseball Drills". Thanks Coach Schupak!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is Real!, December 21, 2001

By	Walter Robinson (Concord, CA) - See all my reviews

An old Chinese proverb states, "if you can touch it, it is real."
This high quality baseball instructional video is one of the most real things you'll want to get if: 1) You love baseball 2) You have kids that love baseball 3) You love to spend time with your kids. Creative drills and instruction are plentiful. I was reluctant to try some of the drills, but now my kids won't stop playing "Tennis racquet home run derby". Great tips on equipment purchases. Learnt that smaller baseball gloves are better than larger ones. Real nice hitting drills and great stuff for the youngest of baseball fans. If you don't think that baseball is still our National past time, get this video!
