Free Softball Training Tips

I received these suggestions for free softball training tips from Larry .  These tips work for all  of your positions and players.

From Larry…
One of my favorite softball drills for all ages is below:

I start out with a fishing net and a couple of 2x4s. I drill a hole in the 2x4s so that the fishing net can stand on its own.  I will have the net aprox. four feet high. I then use the net at different locations on the diamond.

What I have my kids do is divide up into teams. Then they will throw the baseball from various locations on the diamond, and we make a game out of this. The idea behind this is to put the net say at first base, then have the fielders throw to the net ( 1st base) it makes them work on accuracy. I also use it at different bases and maybe have the fielders throw from the outfield.

They get a kick out of trying to make it into the net, but more importantly they are working on a very important skill.
