Rundowns

Rundown Between First and Second

Run him hard one way; one throw

A runner is hung up between first and second. Run him hard back toward first, force him to commit, and tag him with as few throws as possible.

Ball Bag Backup

Coaching notes

Key point

Run the runner HARD back toward the base he came from, make him commit, and tag him with one throw — every extra throw is a chance to advance.

Drill

Rundown reps: the defender sprints at the runner full speed with the ball held high, gives one dart throw, the receiver tags.

Watch for

Soft jogging and fake pump-throws that let the runner slow down and read it — sprint and force the decision.
