Checkpoint Ladder: Earn-Your-Distance Infield Throwing Accuracy Drill
A gated infield throwing drill where the player must hit a chest-sized target zone on 8 of 10 throws before unlocking the next, harder rung - set-feet, then crow-hop, then off a ground ball, then on the move - so accuracy is proven, not assumed, at every distance.
⏱ ~20 min📋 10 throws per rung, 4 rungs; re-throw any rung until the 8-of-10 accuracy gate is cleared before advancing. ~40-70 total throws depending on how many rungs are repeated.
What you'll need
- Throwing net or pop-up target with a taped chest-sized zone (or a partner)
- Baseballs or softballs (bucket of ~10 per rung)
- Cones or markers
- Tally sheet or clicker counter
- Stopwatch (optional, for the timed progression)
