Setup a baseball on the ground. Have the fielders chop their feet. Right Foot -> left foot -> catch. Under control.

❌ Common problems you’ll see with youth athletes trying this drill:

1. Their footwork will be incorrect. ie. Left right catch = wrong
2. Not under control
3. Fielding the ball under their eyes instead of in front.

Oftentimes missing groundballs comes down to improper footwork.

✅A few more checkpoints

• present the glove early, no late glove flips
• field the ball out front!
• footwork!!!
• be under control

Being able to repeat the same movements effectively is what makes fielders consistent. When the footwork is inconsistent, results will be as well.
