One of the best ways to practice throwing the base from base-to-base i to throw the baseball "around the horn". This is a game for catchers and infielders. Divide the the players into teams of four (4) with one fielder at each base and a catcher at home. Beginning with the catcher, the players must throw the ball clockwise. After four trips around around the "horn", the direction is reversed so that the ball is going in a counterclockwise fashion. Teams are awarded one point for each base the ball travels successfully without being overthrown or hitting the ground.
Coach's Point:
The drill is to help players with catching, throwing and quick efficient transfer of the ball from the glove to hand and working as a team. Adding competitive element increase the children's attention and spirit.
