Throwing Accuracy Targets

Dugout Master ✓ Official Dugout Master drill

Players throw at designated targets while competing for accuracy and learning to prioritize a catchable throw over pure velocity.

Throwing⏱ 12 min👥 4-16 players

Setup

Set up two or three throwing stations, each with a target: a net with a marked square, a bucket on a base, or a coach holding a glove at chest height. Split the team into small groups, one per station, with a scorer at each. Keep a team scoreboard visible.

Execution

  1. Each player gets five throws from a marked distance.
  2. Three points for hitting the target, one point for a chest-high throw the receiver catches without moving their feet, zero for anything else.
  3. Any throw the receiver has to move for scores zero regardless of how hard it was thrown.
  4. Groups rotate stations after every player has thrown.
  5. Total the scores by group and post the winner; run a second round to beat the score.
