Drills

Here are some fun fielding. running, and throwing drills.

AROUND THE HORN: Line all of the girls up at 3B except for the first baseman who is at 1B. Space 3 balls evenly between 3B and home. When the coach blows the whistle, the player at the front of the line sprints to the first ball and fires it to 1B, followed by the second and then the third ball. (The 1B player will need a bucket to drop the balls into s she receives them) As soon as the player fires the third ball, she sprints to 2B and sets to receive a throw from 1B. She immediately turns and fires it to a coach or parent at home plate. Do this in three rotations. Demonstrate this drill one time through as fast as you can to instill the importance of speed to make this drill effective.
