Softball Bunting Drills - Get It Down

Purpose: To practice sacrifice bunts and bunt placement which teaches players how to bunt a softball in these critical situations.

Procedure: A rope is placed 15 feet from home plate and in a semicircle stretching from one sideline to the other. The pitcher and catcher are at their defensive positions with the base runners on the base paths. The pitcher has a full ball bucket, and the catcher has an empty ball bucket. All the hitters are at home plate. Each hitter bunts the ball and tries to keep it inside the rope. The hitter gets two chances to contact the bunt. If the first or second ball is bunted, the hitter runs to first base. If the hitter misses both balls, she runs all the bases before returning to the end of the line.
