DRILLS FOR HITTER COVERAGE
(In order from simple to more difficult)
Walk Throughs (OH, MH, RS). Coach stands on opposite side of the netter with players in base positions. Coach moves from left side to middle right side with a ball. Players must cover the position where the coach is standing. The player for that position approaches and jumps. Players cover and return to base when coach signals after making sure each player is in the right place. Repeat and speed up as players become familiar with their positions.
Pass-Set-Catch and Cover. Off a free ball initiated by the coach the players pass, set and cover hitter. The hitter will approach and catch the ball. Have hitter yell stop when they catch to ball. This will make sure players are not still moving when the player is hitting. Return to base quickly and repeat for all three hitters.
Hit and Toss. Off a free ball initiated by the coach the players pass, set and cover the hitter. The hitter will approach and hit the ball. When the ball crosses the net the coach will toss a ball over to coverage. The coverage must pass the ball to the target. Return to base quickly and repeat for all three hitters.
Tip Back to Coverage. Off a free ball initiated by the coach the players pass, set and cover the hitter. The hitter will approach and tip the ball back to the coverage. The coverage must pass the ball to the target. Return to base quickly and repeat for all three hitters.
