Hitting

Cup Ball Game

Instructions

• Split team into two teams, one starts on defense the other starts on offense.
• Take a paper cup and ball it up into a ball (it may help to dampen the cup).
• Coaches will toss the cup to the hitters, hitters will hit by using their back hand in their swing. For example, a right-handed hitter will hit by using their right hand to strike the cup in a normal baseball swing motion.
• The goal is for hitters to incorporate their hips into their swings while having fun playing a modified game of baseball.
• The teams switch to offense or defense after 3 outs.
