hand and eye drills

Question
What are some hitting drills to help 8 and 12 year old kids to help hitting the ball more consistently any help would be appreciated.

Answer
Luther,

Soft toss and tee drills are best.  The soft toss helps timing and hand eye coordination.  Then work back to throwing behind a screen from about 25-30 feet with easy tossing. Then go back to 45 feet and throw like you are pitching.  All these drills will help with timing.  The key is repetition.  MLB hitters might hit 200 pitches a day or more. They will also hit off the tee everyday.  It is to groove the swing and develop good timing.
