Z Drill

Players form two lines facing each other about 15 - 20 feet apart. The coach flips a ball to the first player. That player throws to the player across from her. That player immediately throws the ball to the next player in line across from her. This continues until the catcher receives the ball. The catcher then drops ball into the bucket.

After the first ball is flipped by the coach, another is tossed in by the coach. Depending upon the skill level of the players, the coach may flip the ball immediately, or he may wait a few seconds. This continues until the coach runs out of softballs.
