Type: drill
Catching, throwing, pressure and communication drill for all players.
Setup: One ball, infield with bases or cones to designate 20 feet from home to first and home to third, and 40 feet from home to first and home to third, and a stopwatch.
Execution: Four players complete the drill at a time. The ball needs to travel clockwise and counter clockwise at 20 feet, 40 feet and 60 feet around the infield as quickly as possible. The ball starts at home plate, and the four players are set up 20 feet from home. As the ball travels clockwise then counter clockwise around the diamond, the players move back to 40 feet then to 60 feet. The teams (group of four) that can move the ball around the diamond the quickest WINS! The diagram has cones but using bases helps the infield wrk on footwork at the bases. This is for all infielders and outfielders. I am almost certain that this is a drill that I learned from an NFCA coach!
