Hey all,

We started our winter clinic this last sunday and have it for the next couple months. I have found several different drills to work on with our catchers but this year the only space available was in a gym with a real wood floor. Any ideas for what to put down so that our catchers can do drills with their leg guards on that would be somewhat realistic but also not destroy the floor?

I have looked at a couple options like rolls of turf but I need it to not weigh a million pounds and also fold/roll up to put into storage during the week.

Thanks!
Some type of rubberized fatigue mat would probably do the trick. They also sell those interlocking 2x2 squares they use for weight lifting floors to lessen impact and protect floors. These are more of a less forgiving harder rubber.
