Fastpitch Practice Drills – Indoor Game

Many coaches struggle with fastpitch practice drills.  Here is one suggestion for an indoor drill that was sent in by Dawson.

Here is something that I use with my softball team during the winter months in our gym that helps players wind down at the end of a hard practice. It’s a modified game of Basketball, here are the rules.

3 – 4 Players per team
Ball is rubber and a little bigger than a softball (Walmart special).  Should be able to grip in one hand.
No Dribbling of the ball.
Player can only take 3 steps.
Players must throw the ball to each other in order to move it up the floor and score.

Although the players see this as a fun game it helps to build on their teamwork, throwing under pressure, burst running and communication skills.
