| FIELDING: GROUNDERS DRILL |
| I coach fastpitch girls at Northwest High School and Northwest Senior League levels, in Southern Ohio. Our high school and Sr. League team works frantically with this favorite of mine. It allows for each fielder to see nearly 75-100 ground balls within 20 minutes. You need 2 coaches (if girls are skilled enough let them hit the grounders), 2 crates of balls (25 in ea.), & 2 empty crates to set at designated base. The drill goes as follows: Grounders to 3B who throws to First; other coach hits to 2B who throws to SS covering second. Then: ss to 1B, 3B to 2b; 2B to 1B, SS to 3B; 1B to 3B, SS to 2B. There are variations we mix in also with catcher throwing to bases. |
