Relay Base Running

Relay Base Running provides a great way to practice base running skills while also including a ball handling element. Start by dividing the team into two groups. One group will line up at home plate and the other group will line up at second base. The first player in each line carries a ball.

At the whistle, the first player in each line will round the bases. When he reaches his team, he will hand the ball off to the next player, who will then round the bases. The first team to have each player make it around with the ball wins.

Coaches can have the players use gloves to carry the ball for an additional challenge. Then, after each player rounds the last base he can toss the ball to the next player in line instead of handing it off.
