Softball Coaching Tips – Indoor Hitting Drill

Marion in Cleveland wrote to ask if I had any softball coaching tips for indoor softball drills. Here’s one I sent to her that one of my subscribers sent in recently.

We have been doing a softball drill indoors lately (Ohio weather is beautiful this time of year) that helps the girls improve their swing and make it level. Softball Coaching Tips

Using a floppy fabric frisbee (I think pet frisbees are made of this), you hold the edge of the frisbee in between your hands in your batting position and throw it at a small square taped on the wall/fence etc.. If the frisbee wobbles, goes up or goes down, the swing was not level.

My softball team consists of seventh and 8th grade girls who have been trying to knock the wall down with the frisbee so a key point to make would be to go nice and easy and pretend you are sliding a pizza down a table, and not as hard as you can throw it.
