Note:  We are working on correct feeds, we want ground balls that are very manageable.  We recommend rolling balls from the pitching mound at a medium pace.

Both the SS and 2nd Baseman should be playing two steps in and two steps towards 2nd base from their regular playing position. 

1. Feed #1 - Baseball is rolled directly at the 2nd basemen.  Feild the ball, rotate on balls of feet towards 2nd base, square shoulders to target, lifts elbow to 90 degrees, and makes a strong throw that the shortstop can handle. 
2. Feed #2 - Baseball rolled to the 2nd baseman's right toward the bag.  This is the easiest feed of the three.  Field the ball, transfer ball to hand for an under-hand flip to the shortstop.  Keep your momentum towards the shortstop - follow the baseball.  Feed should be at stomach/chest level. 
3. Feed #3 - Baseball is rolled to the 2nd baseman's left towards first base.  This is the most difficult of the three feeds.  Important note - get the first out, make an accurate throw.  Field the ball, rotate feet quickly so that your back is to the infield, make a strong accurate throw to the shortstop.  Do not stand up - time is of essence. 
4. Note:  Feed #3, the 2nd baseman will have to determine if he should get the lead out or get the easy out at first base.  Make sure we get an out. 

DOUBLE PLAY TURNS BY BOTH THE 2ND BASEMAN AND SS

1. Second Baseman - there a number of ways to turn an double play ball.  Here are a few pointers.  1) Once within 6 feet, begin to creep on the balls of your feet.  2) Approach the bag, put your left foot on the back corner of the bag and give a good target with both your glove and throwing hand.  3) Once you get a read on the direction of the feed, step in the balls direction across the bag.  4) On the catch of the ball, your right foot needs to be planted and on the ground to make a strong throw to first base.  5) Make your throw and avoid the runner.  6) If you have stepped towards the ball, you should now be out of the way for the slide. 
2. Second Baseman (Variation) - instead of stepping towards the ball, you may step backwards on the transfer.  It is still very important that your right foot is planted and on the ground to make a strong throw to first base. 
3. SS - 1) Once within 6 feet, begin to creep on the balls of your feet.  2)  Approach the bag, give a target for your second baseman.  3) On the catch of the ball, step on the bag and clear a lane.  4) When clearing your lane, cut down ground between yourself and first base.  5) Make an accurate and strong throw to first base. 

Middle infielders must communicate on the double play ball.  They can use hot words, "two, two, two.".
