Relay-Relay: 2 lines with girls spaced far enough apart so they have to make a decent throw. Ball starts at one end, and is thrown to the next girl in line, who then turns and throws it to the next in line until the end, then it comes back the other way. First team to get the ball back to the first player wins.

“Protect the Island” (Outfield Drill): Create a circle (the better the talent level, the bigger the circle) using cups, cones, anything that a player can land on and not hurt themselves. This is the island that needs to be protected. Outfielder goes in the circle. Coach starts with 3 balls, and tosses anywhere within the circle, and the outfielder cannot let it drop. As soon as a ball is dropped, they’re out and the next player is in. Try to accumulate the most turns without going out. This is extremely competitive and can be exhausting for the players! Variations: Add up to five balls per player turn or increase the circle size.
Two-Player Variation: Add a second outfielder to the island and establish priorities (CF and LF/RF). Players must communicate to be sure no balls drop in the island.

We have used this many times. Our girls (14u) really like it. It is amazing how the girls suddenly learn how to dive
