                                                    Olympics – Baserunning

                                                    Easy

                                                    Offered during the Olympics practice, the baserunning station involves up to five sprints for each athlete.  Armed with a stopwatch and a score sheet to record times, get to work leading a fun and exciting competition.

                                                    EXECUTION – The Olympics-Baserunning Drill is run on the diamond with bases in place.  Times will be collected for up to 5 sprints, depending on time available:

                                                    • HR – Touch ‘em all

                                                    Take the sum of each athlete times to compare against the group.  The lowest point total will earn 5 points, second lowest 3 points, and third place will earn 1 point.

                                                    1. Use Help to Record Scores – It is a HUGE help to have another set of hands to record scores and assist with drill operation
                                                    2. Run Through ALL Bases – It’s just easier to get a clean time if athletes run through the base.
                                                    3. Coach – There’s plenty to be taught – Talk about taking turns, angles (not wasting distance), and staying in rhythm (hit base with either foot).

                                                    CLOSING – Understand that speed does not always equal stolen bases.  Just because you’re fast, does not mean you are a good baserunner.  Plenty of athletes anticipate well to get solid jumps and are ‘great’ baserunners – even though they are foot-slow.  Have pride in taking good angles, driving INTO each base, and competing to be the best YOU can be.
