Stop hitting routine outfield fungos that force kids to stand in lines for 15 minutes. Set up a pitching machine in foul territory. Set up 4 cones in the shape of a cross. Set the machine to shoot pop flies into the middle of the cones. The players will start at one cone and react to the hit. Catch the ball, and then either put it into a bucket, throw it into a sock net (cut off man), or have an infielder set up as a cut off man and work it. The player then moves on to the next cone. The entire line goes and then they start on the next cone. 4 Cones will allow the players to catch fly balls in 4 different ways: 1) Coming forward 2) Moving to the left 3) Over the Head 4) Moving to the right Set each rep to be a routine fly ball or a hard-to-get fly ball. You can then add 4 more cones so the players can work going 45 degrees right/left and forward/backward You can also work on ground balls. Set the cones, set the machine, and make it game-like.
