Hi Ashley,

Fielding drills for large amount of people needs to be pretty continuous and is best to involve some sort of competition to be able to split the group into smaller numbers.

Try this drill below and have a look at the other drills in Sportplan and have a think on how you can adapt them to bring in a competitive element and include more people in the drill.

Hope this helps.

Four Station Drill

DESCRIPTION
12 players per group. One stump placed in the middle of a rectangular shape marked out by cones (20m by 30m). Each cone has same number of players at it. All stations are live every time coach rolls ball out. Coach may roll ball out anywhere they wish. The nearest player at the cone must call for the ball, pick it up, and throw at the stump. The players from the opposite group in the rectangle are responsible for backing the throw up and returning to the coach. If the coach rolls the ball down the middle of the two cones the player must decide who goes for the ball as early as possible, to allow the group backing up to adjust accordingly.
