Eyes behind the ball DRILL

This is a great drill for both mature and younger players. Fielding from the knees is a great way to get players seeing the ball better, reading hops better, and fielding the ground ball out in front, instead of back between their legs. Try it out, and let me know what you think.

I use the drill with both college players and 8 year olds

With the legs in that position and sitting back on the heels like that applies way too much hyper extension and potential knee injury.

I wish I had someone show me this when I was growing up. Nice drill.

a good thing ive found for this drill is to have the player stick the bill of their hat into their mouth so it limits sight and will force them to catch it out in front
