What can players do during the winter to work on their game?

Take a tennis ball or pliable ball that bounces and go into your basement. Find a hard wall and toss the ball against it. Pretend that you are actually getting a real ground ball and catch the ball with good mechanics and shuffle like you are going to make the throw. Go through the play in your mind visualizing that it is real. Make this drill as real life as you can.

The great thing about this is that you can throw the ball to your right working on backhands, to you left working on forehands and slow rollers that you will need to charge.

You can simulate all types of plays and this will help you with your agility on the field because of the movements you will be making. Have fun with this easy and fun drill.
