Ground Balls at Home (No Field Needed)

Goal: teach “get in front, field out front, funnel to the chest.”

What you need

• A ball (real or safety ball)
• 10–15 feet of space

1) Ready position (1 minute)

• knees bent
• hands out front
• eyes forward

2) Slow rollers (4 minutes)

Roll the ball gently. Cues:

• move feet first
• glove on the ground
• field it out front
• “funnel” to chest

3) Faster rollers (4 minutes)

Same drill, slightly more speed. If form breaks, slow down again.

4) Add the throw (2 minutes)

Field → funnel → step → throw to a bucket/target.
