Quarterback Adjustments
• Coach stands on right/left field line, players each have a ball, in a line behind the coach
• Player tosses coach their ball and sets up 10 feet from the right/left field line facing the coach
• Coach points over the player’s right or left shoulder to dictate direction of drop step
• Player takes a drop step in that direction, stepping back with the foot on the side the coach pointed to, and runs on a backwards angle in that direction
• Coach points in the opposite direction as player is running, player plants outside foot and steps with inside foot (one closest to the coach) to change direction and run in the new angle (this simulates the player adjusting after taking an initial bad read on the ball)
• Coach throws a fly ball out in front of the angle the player is running, player catches fly ball and runs to the back of the line with the ball in their glove
• Players should rotate through the line so that they each receive 10 repetitions
