-Instructions:

  • The player with the ball tosses a high pop-up fly ball to her partner.

  • Players switch roles every 10 passes and count how many consecutive catches they can make.

  • As a cool-down:

    • Take the time element out of this drill and ask them to complete the drill 10 times and then switch players so that all players have an opportunity to be the relay player.
