Team bonding ideas

Love these team bonding ideas:

1) Prayer partners. Designated time spent with a teammate devoting time in the bible together. 

2) Date night. Every week two teammates schedule and go on a date (coffee or dinner together, etc.). A way to spend time together one on one. Goal- to get with half the team through a semester. 

3) Accountability partners: assigned by captains for entire semester. 

4) Secret sisters. Write on a card your name, favorite snack, drink, and Disney character. Then pick one card from a hat and secretly gift your secret sister small items or words of encouragement throughout the semester.

Catcher drill

One important aspect to being behind he plate is the ability to get in FRONT of the plate. 

This drill lines up balls 8-10' down a line in the dirt. Catchers are to squat, jump up to retrieve the "bunt" (ball lying on the ground), throw to "1st (straight ahead about 60' from each ball), then receive the throw back. Catcher sets the ball back down in it's ordinal spot while squatting and sprints to the next ball. Repeat 6-8 times (6-8' between balls). 

Click and Watch this video to see this drill in action. 

Remember:
1) FORM FIRST
2) Personal speed next
3) then add a competitive element of two catchers side-by-side. 


Drill contributed by Jordyn Bibiloji, Hive Sports Coach; inspired by Jody Hahn Hive a sports Coach and All Anerican Catcher.
