Infield Drill

New In-Motion animated QuickTime version now available for WebBall Team Players. Please sign in or join.

Easy for even young kids to do, yet it can help refine the skills of older players (just increase the station-to-station distance). It can be done around the infield, outfield, or any other sports field, or even in a gym (during pre-season or wet weather).

RED lines are direction of ball throws or simulated hits.

BLUE and BLACK lines are direction of player movement.

Set-Up

Takes two lines of players, two coaches (or assistants) and two buckets of balls.

Coaches are positioned on opposite sides of the 'merry-go-round'. each with a bucket of balls.
Players form two lines to move into fielding position.
Each player takes a turn fielding a grounder, roller or pop-up.
After each catch, the player circles round, drops his fielded ball in a bucket and joins the end of the opposite line.
