Double Play Footwork- SS Pop Feet

• Players are in the shortstop position, coach is halfway between 1 st and 2nd base in the baseline with a bucket of baseballs
• Player moves toward 2nd base at an angle so they are facing the coach (drop step to get in line with 1 st base when coming across the bag) with glove and hand up to receive throw from coach
• Coach throws the ball to 2nd base when player is getting close to the bag
• Player sets up on the bag with their left foot on the front (pitcher’s mound side) corner and receives the ball
• Player then shuffles feet once (pops feet) to get in throwing position, and fakes a throw to 1st base
• Coach throws double play balls until each player has received 10 repetitions
