Although the boys (and girls) of summer have hung up their mitts, youngsters can take advantage of the off-season to bone up on fundamentals. Fielding Drills & Techniques, the latest production from coach Marty Schupak, features the familiar, friendly format of earlier entries, presenting helpful drills in typical practice environments with real kids and coaches. The “off the wall” drill will be familiar to anyone who has bounced a tennis ball against a vertical surface—a classic pastime (with all it's variations—high bounce, low bounce, no bounce) that offers a perfect means of developing the hand/eye coordination critical to fielding (add a friend and you can play a game of wall ball with the same variations). Additional drills cover moving laterally during plays (especially important when trapping ground balls), backing up to catch fly balls, correcting common fielding mistakes, and more. Highly recommended. Aud: J, H, P. (C. Block)
