This drill is a fun way to get children used to the feel of sliding. It’s a sport-specific skill for baseball and also for playing tennis on clay courts in addition to winter activities on ice or snow. This game can be performed with as many or as few children as desired. On a smooth wooden gym floor, have the children line up about 20 feet away from a small carpet sample with the carpet side facing down. Then have the children run towards the carpet. Properly executed, when they land on their carpet samples, they will slide across the floor. It’s like riding on a “Magic Carpet.”
