Fielding
Outfield
Crow Hops
Instructions
• 1 partner on left/right field foul line, 1 partner 20 feet away in left/right field
• Throwing partner rolls ball on the ground towards receiving partner at a slow to medium speed
• Receiving partner fields the grounder to the outside of their glove foot that is slightly forward
• When coming up to throw from fielding, receiving partner should put weight on the glove side foot to hop onto the throwing side foot to get to a throwing position, bringing the glove side foot through (the bigger the push off with the glove side foot, the more momentum of the throw)
• Partners roll grounders back and forth to each other until each player has received 10 grounders
