Zone Blocking

A baseball or softball catchers blocking drill.

Acceptable activity for when practice is getting monotonous and the catchers need a change of pace.

Assign three zones and points for each (5, 3, -5). The first zone should be 3 feet by 3 feet starting at the catcher's feet, the second zone should be 5 feet by 5 feet starting at the catcher's feet, the third zone is anything outside zone two. Catcher assumes stance while the coach stands on the mound. The coach will throw balls in the dirt. The catcher should block, retrieve the balls in a zone and then get their body in a position to throw.

Each catcher gets an established number of trials. Add up points and assign a winner.
