Up-Downs

A baseball or softball catchers blocking drill.

Lay out five balls five feet apart. The catcher will shuffle to each ball, assume the blocked position, get up and shuffle to the next ball. The object is to work on quickness down to the ball and up from the ball. Make sure the catcher's hands are moving in the correct position on the way up.

The drill can be varied by having the catcher not only go down all five, but moving to the other side and returning to where they started.
