Objective

  • This is a great drill that allows young players to test their infielding skills under pressure.

Equipment

  • Balls (10-15)
  • Fungo
  • Ball Bucket
  • Gloves
  • Cones

Description

  • Gather players in one spot (either at second or shortstop area). 
    Coach hits each player a ground ball. 
    The player's job is to field the ground ball cleanly in order to remain in the game. 
    If a ball is bobbled or dropped, the player must leave the line. 
    The game ends when one fielder is left standing

Tips

  • Coaches act as judges and decide if the player does the job of keeping the ball in front or not.
