Quarterback Over the Shoulder
• 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 straight back in that direction, stepping back with the foot on the side the coach pointed to, and runs in that direction
• Coach calls “BALL” and throws a fly ball out in front of the player, player looks for the ball while still running when coach calls “BALL”, catches fly ball over their shoulder 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, coach should alternate drop step directions
