DESCRIPTION

Students will be broken up into teams of 4 and each team will be playing against themselves. The gym will be partitioned wide ways into however many teams there are. With our class there is about 12 students so there will be three teams. Each student within the team will be assigned a number, 1, 2, 3, or 4 which will be the batting order. They will then break up with their team so they are set up like the picture shown below with the tee and cone on opposite sides of their court. The first player for each team will bat first, and the object of the game is to hit the ball and run to the cone and back to the tee and back to the cone as many times as they can until the other three players return the ball and place it on the tee. The batting player keeps track of how many times they make it to the cone and tee before the ball is returned to the tee. Each player will get three turns to bat and then they will rotate so that the next player is up to bat and will do this until each student has had a turn to bat three times. The ball needs to land inside of their boundaries, which will be marked, but it can roll out and the defending players will need to retrieve it. I will continuously walk around on the tee side of the court to watch each student bat and give them necessary feedback, focusing on their stance, grip on the bat, and hip rotation. The outfielders can play with whatever strategy they want as that is not an objective and I am mainly concerned with them striking and following directions. I will have a clipboard with the rubric and all the students names and after I see them bat once I will note which areas they were not efficient in. 

COACHING POINTS

The focus of this drill is striking form, however, you can chnge the focus to fielding or anything you really want. As the coach/teacher, make sure to focus on the students when they are hitting and giving constant feedback.
