Grounders in a Circle

Explanation: All the players on a team form a large circle, about the size of the infield. One girl rolls a grounder to any other girl, who must field it properly and then rolls a grounder to any other girl in the circle. Players DO NOT call out the player’s name where the ball is going. After a minute or so, add a second ball. Then a third. Then a fourth. Then a fifth. Five balls all going at the same time. Everyone has to watch everywhere, constantly, to see if a ball is com- ing to them. Improves reaction time and alertness. Coaches must emphasize good form in fielding the grounders. Lots of fun. Lots of laughter.
