  • Repeat the main action: The batter hits the ball into the square; Team A tries to catch it; each batter hits at least five times.
  • Check the focus point: How the direction and height of the hit affect whether the ball is caught.
  • Use the stated variation if practice needs to change: Vary square size, distance, ball size or hitting apparatus; hit high, straight or low.
