>> Way back when, I used to set up my pitching machine to launch popups and deep flys and set two lines, one left one right.. and then send em. <<
Wade, we still do that one - as you cycle through the drills,i.e. the 2nd rep, move the starting position, and when you see the girls start to cheat on where they think its going, raise or lower the speed of the pitching machine.
Another one, we can this one the Meagan drill after its inventor. We get about 6 balls ready, then we pop them in to the machine one after the other, 4 or 5 will be in the air at the same time. Dont really know that this accomplishes but the girls love it.
Also, play flag football, seems the skills us boys learned as wide receivers are similar to the skills the kids use for catching popups.
