A progression, in order
Young catchers need a plan that builds the base first. Skipping the fundamentals for game calling too early is the most common mistake.
1. Receiving and blocking
Build the base first. Receiving and blocking come before anything else.
2. Transfer and throw mechanics
Progress to transfer and throw mechanics once the base is solid.
3. Leadership and communication
Add leadership and communication layers week by week.
What progress looks like
Cleaner receiving
More consistent receiving, pitch after pitch.
More confident blocking
Improved blocking confidence.
Clearer field leadership
Better command of field leadership cues.
Calmer after mistakes
Early wins often show up in decision-making and confidence before game stats move.
