This is one of the baseball fielding practice drills I received from one of my readers, Jose. Try this baseball drill with your team tonight!
From Jose…
The other day I noticed that some of the kids on my team were rushing so much to make a throw that they were not setting their feet, therefore the throw would be offline. I did something very simple.
I placed three sets of cones out in the field. I staggered them so that the kids had to run from one point to the other and get into position to field the ball cleanly.
I had a net set up with the pitching target on it so that the kids had a smaller area to aim for. I rolled the ball to the first position once they fielded the ball, set and made good throw they would move on.
I didn’t think they would pick it up so quickly but they did. The first round through, only a few made one of the balls in the strike net, but in the second round all of them made at least 2 of 3.
It seemed to work well.
