| HIT THE BUCKET This is a great game for teaching accuracy. |
| To improve throwing accuracy and footwork in the infield, divide
your team in two groups. Half are positioned at short stop and the
other half are positioned at second base. We mark off a starting point
that the girls must stay behind until a ground ball is hit to them by a
coach at home plate. Each group alternates players fielding ground balls
and throwing to home plate where two stacked buckets are located. Each
time a player hits the top bucket on a bounce 1 point is awarded. Hitting
the bucket without a bounce gets 2 points. My players charge there ball as hard as they can so that they can get a shorter throw. First group to 10 points is the winner and usually gats extra hacks during BP. |
