Trying to teach our outfielders to take that first step back to judge the ball has been a challenge. We work on pop ups in practice just about every practice. Come game situations as soon as ball is hit in air they take off straight ahead. Many balls have landed where they were standing and went over their head. What's the best way of teaching first step back to help judge the ball? These girls are 8U so I know they are young, so I know reps now is the most important.
