Basic Softball Drills – Throwing to Targets

My softball drill is for tee-ball and is a simple but effective one. It is one of our players favorite basic softball drills and they ask for it frequently.

Take an old piece of carpet (or like a padded moving blanket) – 18″ x 36″.
Punch two holes in the top two corners of the carpet and attach two clips.
in the middle of the piece of carpet draw a target or a picture of a hand or glove
(this would depend on if you are artistically inclined.)

Attach the carpet to a fence and predetermine a distance that the kids should throw from and give them a bucket of softballs (8-12 or so) and have them throw and hit the target as many times as possible.

This helps create accuracy. The softball coach can observe and instruct any changes to be made to technique and form.
