WOD 21/3/14

Year 8 students finished week 7 off with a speed and agility warm-up. As you can see by the pics students were using the speed ladder and some hurdles to work on quick feet and bounding.

The skill emphasis was on outfield work and drop steps. Students in partners worked on quarterback drills where one S would turn and go, with a partner feeding them the ball on the run. 

Throwing to bases- in 3 outfield groups we did a mass fungo session with S's throwing to a separate base. We did not use a cut off, relying on S's to throw on a flat line. If S's overthrew the base they had to do 10 push-ups! 

The group worked really well today, getting their footwork correct and taking care of the baseball. 

A huge emphasis with youth players is on minimising the BIG inning. We can do this by catching the ball and getting it into bases quickly.
