INFIELD PRACTICE DRILL
I call it ball juggling...
  • An infield player stands in the ready position in the infield.
  • The coach is about 15-20 feet away with 2 to 3 balls (1 in pocket).
  • He throws a grounder and as the fielder is fielding the ball, he throws the second.

  • The fielder must concentrate on making a good throw back to the coach and at the same time pick up the location of the second ball, field it cleanly, and throw it back.

    The coach should pick up the pace and move the fielder from side to side until they miss. The third ball is for if the coach drops a ball he has another to keep the drill going longer.
