Steal Jumps x 25

Use a Base (book, pillow, towel)

Go Left Right Shuffle Shuffle
NEUTRAL weight, Feet slightly active, hands active and OFF knees

On steal Drive left arm across body, stay low
3ish steps peak in to SEE what batter/ball has done if you continue, you peak again at 3 quarters the distance to the base so YOU KNOW where to slide, IF to slide, or IF you are rounding base on high throw, lost ball by catcher.

Secondary leads x 25

Use a Base (book, pillow, towel)

Go Left Right Shuffle Shuffle
NEUTRAL weight, Feet slightly active, hands active and OFF knees

On first and Second stay low shuffling across the ground 2/3 times but on final shuffle
