THROWING FOR BUCKS
Regardless of the name of this game you won't go broke. At the end of practice is the best time to do this drill. Place a large container on its side (a 30-gallon trash can is perfect but a ball bucket will work) at home plate with the open end facing centerfield. Have fielders line up in centerfield (age of players are a factor in how deep you go to centerfield). Players should be lined up to receive a hit ball.
The first player fields an outfield hit from the coach and attempts to throw the ball on target and one-hop it into the bucket. After her 1st attempt she goes to the end of the line and next player trys. We offer $1.00 to each player who is successful within three trys. The $1.00 incentive has grown with the age of our players now this contest is worth $5.00 at the 15-16 year old level.
