A Fun and Effective Base Running Drill
Base Running Drill "3-2-1"
Here's a very simple, yet very effective drill. And it's lot's of fun,too.
Place three balls equal distance apart, about three fourths of the way from third to home. Have a runner (team 1) and have a fielder on third base and one on 2nd base (team 2).
When you (or your coach) says "go", the runner must reach 2nd base before the fielder fields and throws the ball to the fielder at second base. All throws must be accurate. If the fielder gets the throw to second base before the runner gets there, the fielder scores 1 point. If the runner gets there first, they get 1 point. Repeat, and repeat...
Great for building an accurate throwing arm and for developing base running skills.
