Exercise: Box Drill with Fielding

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

• Create a box by placing four cones seven yards apart; a coach or partner stands in the center holding four balls

• Sprint, shuffle or carioca around outside of the box, remaining tight to cones

• As coach/partner rolls balls to you, dip down, pick them up and toss them back

Benefits: This drill forces you to stay low and puts you in the defensive position when you reach to field a ball or pick up a bunt on the move.

Coaching Point: “Try to go as fast as possible around the cones, remaining as tight to them as possible. Dip down and field the balls cleanly without slowing your feet.”

Reps: 5

Rest to Work Ratio: 3:1

Frequency: Twice a week the day after working legs in the weight room
