Player set-up
A catcher stands between
first and second base with a discard bucket. The rest of the team stands
between third base and home with gloves.
Ball set-up
Place three balls on the
first baseline, spacing them a few feet apart. Do the same on the second
baseline. Place 5 balls in the center of the field, vertically between
catcher and player.
Drill
This drill should be run
one player at a time. The player sprints to any ball on the field, and
throws it to the catcher. (If the throw is not good, the ball is replaced
by another player for a second try.) They then sprint back to where they
started, and go after another ball. This goes on until all of the balls
are in the bucket. This drill should be tiring, and should be run at a
sprint. Time the players if they need motivation. The other players on
the team should be cheering on the runner.
