Split the team into to equal groups with one group lined up at SS and the other group at 2B. Stack two buckets one on top of the other on home plate. Coach will start the competition on the left side hitting ground ball to each of the players one at a time. The player then makes a throw home trying to hit the bucket. The player gets 3 points for knocking the top bucket off, 1 point for hitting either bucket on a bounce and subtract 1 point for a fielding error. Go through all of the players at SS and total the points. Follow the same drill for the players at 2B. Players switch positions and continue the drill. As players develop throwing accuracy it actually goes pretty quick. This drill encourages the players to charge the ball (shorter throw to home).
Coach's Point:
This is a great drill for keeping the competitive juices going and working on fielding and throwing accuracy.
