BOBBLE BALL
Set
up an infield with players playing 1st, 2nd, ss, and 3rd. Have two coaches
at home plate, one to hit & one to catch in. Coach hitting the ball
will be hitting quickly and randomly to the players on the infield. Player
fielding the ball will throw to 1st base who will throw ball home to coach
catching in. Other players are on the sidelines heckling those fielding
the ball trying to distract the fielders to actually create a bobble or
an error. If, and when this happens fielder will verbally admit to the
error "Uh-oh my bad or my fault" and will leave the field and a player
on the sidelines will take her place. The object here is to A:) Learn to
focus no matter what noise is going on in the stands. B:) If you make an
error- admit it, deal with it, get over it and continue on. C: ) For my
girls it is a competition as always and some of our best dives for the
ball will happen.
Note: When the ball is missed
and extra effort has been made such as a dive then this is not considered
an error and fielder will continue.
