The goal of this drill is to teach proper fielding and throwing form in a game like setting.
Set up
Kids start in a line on pitchers mound - one player at 1st base.
Round 1:
Round 2:
Repeat in same order kids went in round 1 but hit balls to the positions the kids moved to based on their fielding in Round 1 - some at C, some at P some at 2B
First kid to make it around the horn from pitcher, 2B, SS, 3B, and catching one fly ball in outfield gets to be 1st base next game
OPTION: Sometimes we add a base runner into the mix so kids have to beat the base runner to 1st with their throw to move on to the next position
The goal of this drill is to teach situational plays, team communication, and moving without the ball
Set up
Form teams of three
Round 1:
Round 2:
Round 3:
Scoring: - Teams get 1pt if everyone moves correctly, 1 pt if the fielding and throws were good, 1pt for good communication (i.e. if a player on your team is confused -call out in a positive way where to go). Play to 10-20 pts
