Run Around Drill

The object is to run around the bases starting at 1st before the infield can throw around the bases. There is a catcher, 1b, 2b, ss, and 3b. Runner starts on 1st. Coach hits a grounder to 2b and the runner starts running. 2b throws to 3b, 3b throws to 1b, 1b throws to ss and ss throws to c trying to get the runner. Then another runner can start again.

Rotate fielders clockwise occasionally and incorporate runners into fielding positions.

Coach's Point:

Good overall drill for throwing and baserunning.
