I need some help here. I know how to do my outfield pregame fungo. However, I am trying to incorporate double fungo without baseballs going everywhere. What do you do as your double fungo routine.

Place helmets on your players. The Japan HS teams have double batting cages on the field and double fungo at same time. I know, because I pitched to our USA players in twin batting cages on the field.

Sent. Let me know if it doesn't make sense.
This is what we do.
R1 - C1- SS turning 2, C2-3B to 1st
R2 - C1- 3B tuning 2, C2- SS to 1st
R3 - C1- 3B and SS to home (also have SS throw to 3B), C2- 2B to 1st
R4 - C1- 2B turning 2, C2- 1B to home and/or 3B
D8 - do you use a short 1b or deep 1b out of curiosity?
We do a version of this in practice and we use two 1st basemen. a short 1B with a screen and one on the bag. The short one is taking throws from 2nd base.
Pre game we have those at second base taking the throw to work footwork and then send the ball back to the catcher of the coach that hit. There are a couple of other teams in our area that saw what we did and started using it, but they both use an extra 1st baseman. I think one team had the extra 1B on the line toward the outfield, and the other team had him toward home in foul territory.
