01 / KNOW IT
Today’s lesson.
Present a wide glove-side target.
Why it matters
Getting the body behind the ball creates more forgiving contact and safer soft-ball reps.
02 / SET UP
What you need
Use two cones wider than the player’s feet and 6–10 gentle rolls.
03 / PRACTICE IT
How to do the drill
Move behind the roll, bend at hips and knees, show glove low and free hand nearby, bring the ball in.
ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“Feet first, glove low.”
04 / PLAY IT
Today's skill-game challenge
Field 5 of 8 soft rolls without chasing the ball with only the glove.
05 / WATCH FOR IT
One common mistake
Stabbing sideways while feet stay frozen.
Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
