Divide your players into groups of 5. If you don't have enough players, supplement with coaches. Position each player such that each player represents the point on a start. No one player should be closer than 40 feet from another. Each group gets a ball. The drill starts when the player with the ball rolls a grounder to the player two positions to his left. This player then rolls a grounder to the player two positions to the left, and so on. You can go counterclockwise as well. You can also make it more challenging by incorporating short hops or rapid throws (such as turning a double play).
Coach's Point:
The drill is ideal for exposing the players to maximum number of ground balls or touches in the shortest period of time. Fielding ground balls must become routine for all players.
