BOX BALL ⚾️
One of our Friday challenges. Super simple, competitive, and actually has a lot of carryover for baseball players.
Rules:
• 1v1
• You get one tap to yourself before returning it to the box
• No carries — taps only
• The ball has to hit the box and bounce up to count
• If you can’t return it legally, your opponent gets the point
There’s a lot going on here without having to overcomplicate it.
Athletes are working on reaction time, hand-eye coordination, quick decision making, body control, and change of direction while reacting to something they can’t completely predict.
For baseball players especially, I like that it gets them reading, reacting, adjusting their body, and producing force from different positions and angles instead of everything being planned out ahead of time.
Plus, it gets competitive pretty quick 😂
Easy way to mix some athletic development and competition into a warm-up or finish off a session.
Shout out to the new champ! George Simou
