Seven Position Scrimmage

It is important to experience all positions as a young player.  Divide the team into two squads and play a seven inning game.  Pitchers and catchers play their normal posiiton throughout the game but the other players will switch positions each inning.  After the first inning, the first baseman goes to 2nd base, the 2nd baseman goes to shortstop, the shortstop goes to 3rd base, the 3rd baseman goes to left field, the left fielder goes to centerfield, the centerfielder goes to right field and the right fielder goes to 1st base.

Coach's Point:

This drill allows the players to develop as complete players and demonstrate their skills for the game.  Players gain a new appreciation for the challenges at each position.
