01 / KNOW IT
Today’s lesson.
Find a balanced ready position.
Why it matters
A comfortable ready position makes the first step easier and reduces reaching.
02 / SET UP
What you need
Mark a ready spot; use a soft ball and a partner 8–12 feet away.
03 / PRACTICE IT
How to do the drill
Start athletic and balanced; partner points left or right before gently rolling; move feet to the ball.
ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Ready feet, quiet head.”
04 / PLAY IT
Today's skill-game challenge
Make 6 controlled moves and 4 clean fields.
05 / WATCH FOR IT
One common mistake
Standing tall and reaching without moving.
Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
