"Mom Can You Teach Me How to Hit" was created to teach parents how to teach their children to hit a baseball and softball. Coach Woods fused his talents, from years of experience, into this unique teaching video. His laid-back manner, as well as his encouraging and supportive style, provides a clear and detailed description of how to hit a baseball or softball. He knows the sport and also grasps the fundamentals of how we learn. Woods breaks down the process of hitting a baseball into small sections, that instructors can practice with a child, both at home and on the field. Coach Woods clearly explains the basic principles of hitting in such detail that it will eventually become second nature, and can help any child hit the ball more often and with greater confidence.
Website Price Range: Available to rent for $4.99 and to purchase for $19.99.

"Down Broadway" provides a better understanding of the fundamentals and basics of pitching and catching.

The third video and final part in the series, "The Glove" will be released at the end of this year and will cover such skills as glove angles, double play pivots, soft hand drills and more!

Cleatskins, which made their debut in July '08, are an innovative and stylish footware accessory designed to fit over cleated shoes and quickly and conveniently take young athletes from the field to the street. Designed to fit over virtually all cleated shoes, including baseball, soccer, football and more, Cleatskins make it easier than ever before for kids of all ages to move on and off the playing field and into the next activity. Constructed of SKINTEK rubber, a revolutionary formulation of compression molded rubber, Cleatskins feature a flexible shell that fits over plastic and rubber cleated footwear, snugly cupping the shoe from the bottom. Cleatskins significantly extend the life of cleats by protecting studs from wear and tear, and the unique SKINTEK material is machine washable, making them easy-to-care for and looking like new. In addition, the unique rubber shell enhances the street-sensibility of studded athletic shoes by improving mobility and safety on asphalt and concrete surfaces, while creating a sealed barrier to keep dirt and grass out of home and car. Cleatskins are available in a variety of colors versatile enough to complement any shoe, outfit or team uniform. Price: $17.95 Purchase: You can purchase in retail stores.
WebsiteParentClick Back to School Product Reviews - Fall 2008 This is a very cool idea because it makes it easy for kids to go out to eat after a game withour slipping in their cleats. It also keeps the cleats from wearing down. We loved the great selection of colors and the fact that it protects your floors when kids are inside the house. They have both youth and adult sizes. We had a little trouble figuring out the sizing.
Awesome was the response our daughter gave us when she opened her pink cleatskins. [Jess, Santa Barbara, CA. 11/13/08 Parent]

Bobby Woods Baseball DVD
I watched this video with my son who has recently started playing baseball. Overall, I thought it was a good video with relevant tips and information. Because it is 75 minutes long, I think it is most effective to watch over a few days breaking it up into sections. For us, we practiced each of the techniques presented right after watching it and would then return to the dvd to watch the next segment(s). I really liked that the child in the dvd who is learning how to hit is a little older (12) because so often it seems like the one learning to hit is really young making it harder for an older child to relate to. Thank you! [Kim, Reno, NV. 05/07/10 Parent]
