Drill of the Month Contest

Attention, Baseball and Softball Coaches!
We need your expertise.

Each month JUGS will post The Drill of the Month. We need your favorite drill that you use to help your players perform at their maximum level. If your drill is chosen as The Drill of the Month, you'll win a JUGS T-shirt and cap and be put in the running for Drill of the Year award, where you could win a JUGS Toss Package.

So get writing, Coach! Your knowledge can be useful to others.

You can earn JUGS equipment and we at JUGS will be grateful for your input.

Congratulations to Nick Berzins for being the winner of our “2008 Drill of the Year”: Drop-Step

Congratulations to Jim Greslick, last month’s Drill of the Month winner. Jim will receive a JUGS T-shirt and cap and be eligible for the Drill of the Year award. Coaches, keep your drills coming!

E-mail your drill to JUGS.
