Pop-Ups

• Catcher in full gear in catching position (home plate optional)
• Coach/partner beside the catcher with fungo bat and baseballs
• Coach/partner hits the ball straight up in the air as a fly ball (if coach/partner is having difficulty hitting the pop-up with the bat, they may throw the catcher a pop-up)
• Catcher flips off mask, finds the ball, and turns so that their back is to their coach to catch it
• Catchers should call for the ball saying “BALL BALL BALL” and catch the pop up in front of their forehead
• Catcher tosses ball back to coach and gets in line behind the next catcher who has gotten ready
• Catchers rotate through so that they each get 10 pop-ups
