Purpose:

• Works on players throwing accuracy.

Equipment:

Drill:

• Place a trash can at first base with a Ball Bucket or Bear Bear on top of it.
• Break your team into two groups, one at shortstop (those with the best arms) and one at second.
• Have each girl make a throw to first, if you hit the trash can the group gets one point, if you knock the bucket/bear off you get three points.
• Go around a couple of times or until a set amount of points have been attained.
• Do it again, the second time is usually better.

Result:

• Fielders learn to throw accuruately under some pressure
• All players are involved
