Team Cool-Down Circle
Dugout Master ✓ Official Dugout Master drill
Players complete a short recovery routine followed by a team reflection or coach message.
Cool-down⏱ 5 min👥 4-24 players
Setup
Bring the team into a tight circle on the infield grass with helmets, gloves, and bats set down. Every practice should end here so players expect it. Have the next event's time and place ready to announce.
Execution
- Quick group stretch: quads, hamstrings, and shoulders, thirty seconds each.
- Every player names one thing they got better at today, going around the circle.
- Coach names two or three specific things the team did well, using players' names.
- Coach gives one focus for the next practice or game.
- Announce the next event, then break as a team.
