01 / KNOW IT
Today’s lesson.
Know when to run, stay or return.
Why it matters
A caught fly ball changes runner decisions.
02 / SET UP
What you need
Use drawings or very soft coach tosses; no live throws.
03 / PRACTICE IT
How to do the drill
Coach calls caught or dropped ball; player points to return, hold or advance according to local rule and situation.
ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“See the catch.”
04 / PLAY IT
Today's skill-game challenge
Choose correct response 5 of 6 times.
05 / WATCH FOR IT
One common mistake
Running blindly before seeing catch result.
Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
