Relay Lines Drill

Split the full team into teams of 4 (so 12 players = 3 teams). One player from each group lines up down a foul line about 20 feet apart. About 60 feet toward CF, line up 3 more competing players. 60 away from them, a third row of three. 60 feet away from them, a final row of three. So basically three lines (teams) of four lined up from the foul line out into the outfield.

The player on the foul line throws the ball to his teammate 60 feet away who receives the ball in the proper relay position and throws the ball to the player 60 feet beyond him. That player then does the same. When the ball gets to the end, that player receives as though relaying to a fifth player, but instead does a 360 and fires the ball back starting the relay in the reverse direction.
