From the weight room to the field, Ed Servais and his team provide a candid look into what has made the Creighton University baseball program a consistent championship contender. Coach Servais delivers two days of live fall practices that will improve your players' and provide you with structure, organization and a competitive drill progression series to incorporate into your practices.

Day One:
Coach Servais and his team go through an intense and progressive team and individual practice session divided into five main phases: The Stretch, Baserunning, a concentrated Throwing Program, Team Defense, Individual Defense, and an Offensive Team Workout. His "progression style" practice focuses on time efficiency and forcing the players to make quick decisions on the fly.

Coach Servais' throwing program progresses from the ground up and isolates every element of the throw, proper mechanics and places a high concentration on accuracy and keeping the "ball off the ground." This is the basis of his defensive philosophy.

In the 40 minute Team Defense segment, Servais' team demonstrates high intensity drills designed to minimize your opponent's running game and small ball strategies while maximizing your team's effectiveness at outfield communication, cuts, relays, double play feeds and pivots. This session also includes Servais' combo drill (utilizing the whole team); situation drills that feature game-like sequences challenge your players baseball skills and their mental awareness, individual group progressions for catchers, middle and corner infielders, outfielders; and a timing drill.

You'll also see Creighton's early workout segment, which is done about 40 minutes before practice. It will always have a theme for the day, such as, hitters will work on hitting the ball to the opposite field with authority and middle infielders working on their footwork around second base.

Day Two:
The day begins with an inside look at Creighton's strength training program. Led by Creighton's Strength Coach, the team performs a series of baseball-specific exercises designed to improve strength and explosiveness.

In the afternoon, the team hits the field for team practice that focuses on proper defensive execution, attention to detail and improvement of defensive footwork. Coach Servais covers a series of defensive drills that are executed in 3-4 minute time frames that address double play footwork, pitcher fielding practice, fly ball priorities, cuts and relays, 1st and 3rd defense, situational drills and live defensive work.

The Blue Jay's flat ground throwing program for pitchers features a series of drills that focus on proper mechanics and pitch development. After the throwing drills, the pitchers practice individual defensive drills known as `Four Corners'.

The last half of practice is dedicated to an offensive team workout that focuses on isolating different parts of the swing ensuring the proper mechanics and approach needed to successfully hit a baseball. The drills provide the hitter with instant feedback on their swing and enable the hitter to be their own best hitting coach.

These DVD set will help any coach at any level develop and incorporate a more efficient and structured practice. Improve your overall team performance each day using these innovative team practice ideas and drills.

Take a seat in the stands and watch Nathan Blackwood run two complete Lubbock Christian baseball practices. Coach Blackwood shares an all access look at how to develop potential talent into a competitive baseball team through a fall baseball practice.

In Blackwood's eight seasons at Lubbock Christian he has appeared in three NAIA World Series, winning the championship in 2009. He knows what it takes to master the art of bringing together a cohesive unit using a comprehensive practice regiment. Blackwood will explain the importance of creating a full day of practice that includes the players academic requirements.

In this DVD, you will see an intense fall practice day that includes:

• Pre-Practice Indoor Hitting Routine: Features three different hitting routines. A soft toss drill with a weighted bat for hand and swing strength through the hitting zone, a drill that trains hitters to adjust to swing speed that simulates game-type pitching and a rubber band workout to developing a quick and compact swing through the zone and gives the hitters to stay inside the ball and stay compact.
• Team Defense: This workout gets the entire team involved and focuses on making quick decisions in high pressure situations in both the infield and outfield. This trains your players think on the spot, which will allow them to react naturally during the game.
• Team Offense: A unique eight-round batting practice progression that involves entire team ... infielders take grounders on bunt plays, outfielders are playing normal reading fly balls. The first two round work on bunt situations, rounds three and four work on hit-and run and scoring runners from second, and the final four round gives your batters a chance to swing away, simulating a hitter's count. You can put an emphasis on where to hit the ball, whether it is hitting the ball away, up the middle, down the line etc.
• Conditioning Drills: Innovative tactics to make your players reach their maximum potential. Pitchers go through a rope workout to strengthen shoulders and rotator cuffs, with a timed lap that adds a cardiovascular element. Hitters work on foot speed by increasing stride strength and length using sleds and parachutes.

In the second session, you will see Blackwood put his team through a situational scrimmage that includes three sets of situational hitting. This style will allow your players to make decisions on their own and gain knowledge on how to understand reads as a hitter, a defensive player or as a base runner.

With each session you will gain a plethora of information that will help your team grow together and obtain future success. This baseball DVD will help you design the perfect sessions to increase productivity in practice and lead your team to a "Championship" season.
