Fun Softball Drills – Improve Your Arms Infield Drill

Coming up with new ideas for fun softball drills can be challenging.  Here’s a softball infield drill that works well and builds strength and confidence.

“Improve your arms” Infield Drill

In the beginning of the softball season, NONE of my 7th graders can throw and reach from 3rd to 1st. I put two first baseman on their base, and they alternate catches.

I start the entire team (infielders and outfielders) at the mound, have them field an easy grounder and throw to first. We do this until all players get 5-10 throws. Then, we move on to second base, where each fields a grounder, throws to first, retreats to back of line. Repeat til each girl gets 5 grounders and five throws. Continue at short, then third base.

This gives the girls ample time throwing and the shorter distances at the beginning of the softball drill builds confidence.
