Hi Phil,
Great question. It's vital to carry out a thorough warm up prior to any session to get your players both mentally and physically prepared. I like to start with a short jog to get the blood flowing followed by a full body stretch. Here's a great drill to get you started! Check out more stretches and drills to prepare your batters for the session ahead under the 'Injury Prevention' tab.
Hope this helps.
