Objective

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

Equipment

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

Description

  • Gather players in one or two spots (preferably in the outfield somewhere).
  • Coach hits each player a fly ball.
  • The player's job is to field the fly ball cleanly in order to remain in the game.
  • If the ball is fielded cleanly, the player returns to the end of the line and awaits his/her next turn.
  • If a ball is bobbled or dropped, the player is eliminated (it's a good idea to have a few practice rounds, however).
  • The game ends when one fielder is left standing

Tips

  • Coaches act as judges and decide if the player does the job of fielding the ball cleanly or not.
