Coaching notes
Players rotate between an agility-ladder station focused on right-left fielding-to-throw transitions and a box station that trains outfield change-of-direction and recovery.
Objectives
Link pure agility to position-specific footwork for both infielders and outfielders in one efficient station.
Coaching cues
Right-left timing through the ladder; explode out of the boxes; stay low and athletic on every transition.
Common errors
Stopping feet at the end of the ladder; upright posture; slow recovery from the boxes.
Setup
Agility ladder and four boxes or cones; open space for both stations.
Steps
- 1. Station 1: ladder right-left fielding-to-throw footwork
- 2. Station 2: box change-of-direction and recovery for outfielders
