Sorry:
I like the tennis ball idea.
You are probably going to have players all over the place, try to pair them with someone with their same ability. If someone cannot catch put them with an adult so you do not penalize the players that can throw. You are going to have more parents then players at practice.
DD can throw the ball, I credit it all to our Dog. If we started over Dog would come to practice.
While I love this video and like the fast paced nature of these drills, for brand new players this is overkill. You need to break everything down to the basics and will take them many seasons to be able to do these type of drills with any consistency.
Similar to the Angry Birds drill, we had at home plate an empty 5 gallon water bottle we set on top of a ball bucket and the players at SS and 2nd base had a competition to see how many points they can score by knocking off the bottle. Fun drills is a must at these ages.
