                                                  Around the World – 3 Runners

                                                  Medium

                                                  Around the World is a baserunning drill involving ALL aspects of baserunning.  This is a combination drill involving four athletes and all of the basepaths.  Because it reviews several different baserunning fundamentals, and there are a lot of moving parts, Around the World should be run after fundamentals have been taught. Its fun, challenging, and it looks impressive to any parents watching practice!!

                                                  While a suggestion follows of what each athlete is to execute, this drill can be run with any combination of baserunning moves. Example: Base hit turn vs. Hard-90 on the home-to-first athlete.

                                                  EXECUTION – This drill begins with all athletes, standing side-by-side, behind home plate.  First athlete steps forward to the batters box, and begins the drill by running from home-to-first (through the bag).  That athlete stays at first base, with the assignment of breaking to second base (as a steal) on the coach’s next verbal.  At the same time, the second athlete sprints from home-to-first.  Both athletes stay at the next base, and the cycle continues:

                                                  • H – 1st = Hard 90 (through 1B)
                                                  • 1st – 2nd = Breaks
                                                  • 2nd – Home = Score

                                                  1. Use Your Coaches – Coaches can instruct each basepath.
                                                  2. 1B Athlete – Leadoff fundamentals when ready?  Steal breaks from the bag or leadoff?
                                                  3. 2B Athlete – Secondary & score: Fundamentals first.  Shuffle, shuffle, go!
