Get all the tools you need to get on the field and have a great time, play with energy and get better in a game-like atmosphere.

From 2004 to 2009, TCU has won six straight conference championships and made six appearances to the NCAA tournament. This success is due in part to great practices. In this extensive instructional video from Championship Productions, longtime TCU Head Coach Jim Schlossnagle (2004 to 2021) will show you how to plan out a practice that suits your needs and achieve goals for your team.

Coach Schlossnagle explains the three absolutes that go into planning a great practice and 10 factors that need to be considered when planning practices.

Schlossnagle outlines an eight-period daily practice structure, which he demonstrates on field. These periods provide time when players can work on areas in an individual setting, up-tempo drill work and more.

Schlossnagle includes a plethora of drills including fielding drills, bunting drills, baserunning drills, throwing progression and batting practice.

Ever wonder how much time you're putting into each facet of the game? Schlossnagle also explains how to use a practice index so you will have a running total of how many times you practiced specific techniques during the year.
