The key factor to think about when ordering sets of equipment for teams and facilities is:
How Many Athletes Are Training At One Time?
You can save on equipment costs by having fewer athletes training at once. Internally, we use a simple rule of thumb for figuring out how many sets of equipment a coach might need to equip his team:
PlyoCare Needed = Athletes Training/2
Weighted Balls Needed = If PlyoCare Needed < 4, WB = Plyo; If PlyoCare Needed > 4, WB = Plyo - 2
Ok, so that's math. Let's take the math out of it.
Pitchers | PlyoCare Needed | WB Needed |
2 | 1 | 1 |
4 | 2 | 2 |
8 | 4 | 4 |
12 | 6 | 4 |
20 | 10 | 8 |
There are other issues to consider when structuring a practice (namely how much space and how much time). But this should give you a good idea for a rule of thumb.
