Ball Relay

This baseball or softball drill works on both Baserunning, while working in some conditioning as well as being fun and competitive for the players.

It is basically a relay race around the bases with the ball replacing a baton. Start by splitting the team into two groups with one group starting at second base and the other at homeplate. Give the first runner of each group a ball and have all the other runners backed up at least 5-6 feet from the base/plate. Have the first runners start at their base/plate and then yell ‘go’ and each runner has to then run the bases and upon returning to their home base/plate, hand the ball (cannot throw) to the next runner, who proceeds to do the same.

The first team to finish wins. Try to split the teams equally based on speed. Reward the winners.
