Balls In the Dirt Breaks

• Runners at each base with helmets on
• Pitcher/coach on the mound with catchers at home plate in full gear, taking turns
• Runners take initial lead from the bases, take secondary lead when the ball is delivered home
• Pitch is delivered in the dirt for the catcher to block. Catcher blocks and recovers, gets in position to throw the ball to a base
• Runners will read the pitch and decide if they can advance to the next base
• Runners can read independently or in unison with the other runners
• Coach has the option to put infield defense in place for catcher to throw to bases
• Each player rotates through the line so that they each lead off of 1st base 5 times
