All-Knowing Board: I've got an idea that next year during my team's high school softball season I'd like to incorporate daily "Competition Drills". Our staff has used competition semi-regularly during the season, but I'd like to ratchet it up a notch, simply because I need this year's team to be a little more competitive/aggressive.
Here's the request: Post your favorite practice drill that incorporates competition. Briefly explain the drill and how the drill is competitive (including points, rewards, penalties, etc.)
My Vision: To have a daily "Competition Drill" that will get the kids super engaged and focused, and to have it be something they look forward to each day at practice. I'd like to have as many different skills addressed as possible (i.e. fielding, throwing, baserunning, hitting, pitching, catchers, etc.). I'd like to have between 15-18 of these to spread out over the course of three weeks of practice, and then recycle the ones that worked and retire the ones that didn't.
I'll record and organize the submitted drills by skills in a Google Doc, and share it out to whomever wants a copy. I can make the Google Doc a PDF file at any time, so it can also be shared that way with those who aren't Google-philes.
Thanks!
Mike
