Knee Short Hops

• Partners 10 feet apart on knees facing each other
• Players lean forward on knees, keep their back flat and bend at the hips
• Partners throw short hops to each other so the ball bounces just in front of the other partner at a slow to medium speed
• Receiving partner stays leaned forward, up off of their heels, with their glove out in front of them
• Receiving partner catches ball as soon as it bounces off of the ground and pushes their glove through the ball toward their partner
• Partners throw short hops back and forth to each other until each partner has had 10 repetitions
