Practicing communication:
• Put outfield into 2 groups. Centerfield needs to be one of the groups.
• Remind players that Centerfield has priority over everyone. If she calls for the ball first - then it is hers. Other line backs up.
• The back-up should be at least 15 - 20 feet in back of fielder.
• The fielder should call for the ball 3 times "mine, mine, and mine"
• The other fielder lets her teammate know that she heard her by saying "yours", then she proceeds to back her up.
• The outfielders should be encouraged to call for the ball as soon as they realize it is theirs. That way their teammates have time to back them up.
• On a fly ball do not call the ball on its upward track because the wind may take it somewhere the player
