Indoor Fielding Drills

There are a few different things that you would be able to do,

Long and short barrier fielding practices
Throwing and catching there are a few ways this can be done, length ways in the hall width ways and personally by training coordination - this is where you throw against the wall with one hand and receive with the other and continue.
Using a cradle to practice slip catching
Using six-sided balls or a specific ball sold for the purpose of such training
