SKLZ CRAZY CATCH, Set-Up & Usage Instructions

Page: 8 / 12

ONE MINUTE DRILLS
INDIVIDUAL SKILL ASSESSMENTS
One Minute Drills provide an excellent form of competition with instant feedback of performance
within a given time period against yourself or an opponent.
To make the drills consistent, it is recommended to have one or two spare balls kept behind the
participant so they can use these if they miss a catch or miss a throw at the Crazy Catch target. Also,
have one or two people available to recover balls and return them to behind the catcher while they
are involved in the One Minute Drills.
To match the drills to the skill level of the participant, we have suggested a few variations for each
activity.
THROW AND CATCH
From a set distance (5 or 10 ft)
Variations
- Increase distance from the net
- Ball type/ball size
THROW AND CATCH WHILE ON THE MOVE
Follow the recommended set distances outlined below.
Place one cone 20 feet from the Crazy Catch. Starting at the cone, take three steps forward and
throw the ball at the Crazy Catch. Continue to move toward the Crazy Catch, keeping your eye on
the ball. Field the ball as if bounces off the Crazy Catch.
Variations
- Increase distance from the net
- Ball Type/ ball size
- Alternate the throwing hand
Skill Enhancement
- Extends visual and coordination skills associated with throwing and catching while on the move.
- Prepares infielders and outfielders for reacting to bad bounces while charging the ball.
