FIELDING: FUNNEL DRILL
This drill was one of the most helpful drills as a player, and now as an assistant coach. Players can do this drill after warming up their arms, with their partner. One player keeps their glove on, the other takes their glove off. The partner with the glove rolls them the ball. The fielder must get down on the ball, or they will miss it.
They also learn they must get completely in front of the ball, and scoop or "funnel" the ball to their waist.
