Slow Rollers

Instructions

• Partners 10 feet apart facing each other in defense ready position
• Throwing partner rolls a slow grounder straight to partner
• Receiving partner charges the slow rolling ground ball, staying low to field it under control with two hands, and fake a throw to the 1st baseman
• Receiving partner should stay under control so that they can break down and field the ball (don’t charge so fast that the player is out of control)
• Receiving partner then rolls a slow grounder to their partner
• Partners throw slow grounders back and forth to each other until each partner has had 10 repetitions
