COUNTDOWN
This is a fun drill to help
the 1st and 2nd graders I coach develop good hands, quick release, and
hustle to a loose ball. I have the players line up accross from a partner
about 20 feet apart. They are to make good throws back and forth as many
times an they can while I count down from 30 to zero. The player who does
not have the ball at zero wins. (Winning usually puts you in the first
group for batting practice.) You should see the kids scramble for a dropped,
or passed ball. Baseball is fun. Let's make practice fun too.
