Infield Drill to Build Speed and Quickness

Team of 10-12 players

  • Line up 2 players at 1st, 2 at 2nd, and the rest at third. The coach hits a ground ball from home plate to the first person in line at third, that player throws to second and then runs as hard as he or she can to second and gets in line. The player at second throw to 1st and then runs to first as fast as they can go and gets in line there. The player at first throws to home and then runs around the outside of home plate as fast as they can go and gets in line behind third.
  • Repeat this for ground balls and then do popups.
Simple fast paced conditioning drill to get them moving. The coach can hit and catch the balls at home or alternate players to hit and catch.
