Set up defense and allow 1 player to bat. Coach pitches to batter. Defensive team must field 3 balls to get the batter "out" switching with the next better. 

Split team into 2 teams, offence/defense. Coach pitches to a batter, when the batter hits - they run towards 2nd base, trying to get to the base safely. Defense can tag the bag or runner. 

Once everyone from the first team has had a chance to bat, switch teams. 

Use foam dodgeballs, divide players onto 2 teams, explain to athletes that this is not typical dodgeball - if they get hit on their "number" (on their back) they are still safe. They can dodge the ball like typical dodgeball as well. If they get hit, they leave the playing field. 

Cheer and encourage players if they get hit in the "numbers" or make a good dodge!

Chat with athletes after about how getting hit in the numbers (on their back) is the safest way to get hit by a pitch (dodging the pitch is better). Getting hit in the back is safer than the ribs, head or hands. 

Athletes follow the coach as they run around the diamond, shouting out each base they pass (1st! 2nd! 3rd! Home!)

Introduce scenarios (ie, a single hit = run through orange. a double = round first, inside corner of the bag and head to 2nd, stopping on the bag)

On go, 1 person from each team runs the bases with a ball in hand. Once completed they pass the ball to the next person on their team. Encourage cheering!

Catcher throws to 3rd, 3rd to 2nd, 2nd to Shortstop, Shortstop to 1st, 1st to Pitcher, Pitcher to Catcher. Get players to call out each others name before throwing the ball.

MODIFICATION 1: Too hard? Get all players to take steps in towards home.

MODIFICATION 2: Make it a race! Have a player run the bases and see whos faster (throwers vs runners)!

Stand players away from target at an appropriate distance, coach rolls a grounder to the player. Player fields the ball then throws properly and tries to hit the target. Cheer on teammates!

MODIFICATION 1: Balance bats on home plate and challenge players to throw a ball at it to knock it over.

Cheer them on! Players throw the ball to one another, if they are successful in catching, take a step back.

MODIFICATION 1: Try it without a glove, this challenges players to use both hands to catch the ball. Use a softer ball. 

MODIFICATION 2: Use water balloons, beanbags, soccer balls, baseballs instead! Using unconventional things keeps it fun!

On GO, teams throw to their teammates, trying to make 15 consecutive catches. Encourage them to count out loud and cheer each other on!

MODIFICATION: Too easy? Take a big step backwards!

2 teams of 3 spread out on opposite sides of the square between the cones. Players throw grounders for teammates to field, calling "mine" before getting the ball. 

MODIFICATION 1: Throws not strong enough or accurate? Coach throws/hits the ball. 

MODIFICATION 2: Set goal posts at 10ft and 1 athlete goes at a time and has to keep the ball out of the goal. 

Coach tosses a fly ball to each player, the player headbutts the ball. Throw left/right to practice getting under the ball. This will get silly!

MODIFICATION 1: Work on communication - players line up, calling for each ball.

MODIFICATION 2: Use helmets + whiffle balls instead.

Group of players in the field, Coach shouts a value and tosses a fly ball to the group, player must call for the ball and catch it to "win" the value of points. Teammates must back-off if ball is called for. This can get silly, call for billions, gazillions of points!

MODIFICATION: Use whiffle balls with no gloves instead, this encourages using both hands. 

Choose 1 player to be the blob, if the blob tags a player, they must run together holding hands trying to tag other players. The blob grows as players keep getting tagged. After 4 players in the blob, the blob can split into 2 groups. 

Split team into 4 groups, assign each team a corner (1 team per base works well). On GO teams have to get rid of the balls from their corner and run them to another teams corner, players should not throw the balls.

Coach decides time limit for this game (2min is good)

MODIFICATION: Silly walks only! Jumping only! Skipping only! Red Light, Green Light version!

Divide players into 3 teams, each team has 7min as offence with the other 2 teams playing defense. Number of outs does not matter, rather each team is given set amount of time to bat/run bases.

Divide players into 2 teams. 1 team takes defensive positions on the infield, 1 team at home with a ball (offence). Offence takes turns throwing the ball with the goal of trying to get their ball past the defense, running the bases after the ball is thrown. 1 point for the ball getting past the defense, 2 points if the ball goes over the cones. Once the entire offence has thrown/run - switch.
