If you have field space, another thing I used to do is toss a ball into the outfield and have two players of comparable speed race to see who can get to it first. You can control the results by where you throw the ball; if they whine, you just tell them life's not fair. One team I did this with seemed to be having trouble understanding how hard to run after a ball in the outfield. After this little exercise that problem was solved. Just be careful, because if you have competitive kids on your team they will try to knock each other off the ball as they get close so they can win. It's fun, but control for injuries.

This would be chaos, I like it.

Don't ask questions just wear your brother's football equipment to practice tomorrow.

(I am thinking 1 matchup in particular, I almost guarantee there would be blood on the field before they asked to do it again)
