                                                    Medium

                                                    Backyard Clean up is an activity run during the 15-minute window before practice.  As it is completely centered on fun, Backyard Clean Up could fill any time slot, although there is little constructive benefit other than an increased heart-rate and some good laughs.  So… have fun with this drill!

                                                    EXECUTION – B.C.U. can take place in an extended Warm Up Box (red, white, and blue cones) or you can design a special “court.”  Place an equal number of wiffle balls on either side of a mid-line, and start the clock.  At the sound of the 30-45 second buzzer, the side of the court with the least wiffle balls wins.  Be sure to adapt on the fly.  This is a game, and games are supposed to be fun, but know that your athletes WILL invent creative ways to bend the rules

                                                    1. Stay Within the Court – In the heat of competition, athletes WILL throw the balls outside of the field of play.  Instruct the athletes that their tosses must bounce first within the court.
                                                    2. Coaches Walk the Baseline – Help to corral overthrows and contain the balls into fair territory.
                                                    3. Use Odd Number of Balls – Odd number means no ties.
