RELAY SPEED DRILL
Take the entire team and break them into groups of three. Spread them out about 10 feet apart, with one player on the outfield foul line and the other two lined up at equal distances towards center field.
Starting with the ball at the feet of the player along the outfield line, hollar GO! to start the drill. The first player must pick up the ball and throw to the middle player. The middle player is to turn to the glove side, and relay the throw to player three. Player three then uses quick feet throwing back to the middle player, who turns glove side once again, throwing back to player one.
Do the drill a couple of times getting the middle player comfortable turning to the glove side and then rotate team members so each one has a turn as the middle fielder. This drill also works quick feet and can also work as a game of competition with the slowest team dropping off. The team left standing wins!
