Softball Fielding Tips

Special thanks to Robyn for sending this one in. If you’re searching for softball fielding tips, you should try these out!

From Robyn
A softball drill I use is “Around the Field”. You may have already heard of this one but….

-Split into 2 teams…1 team is runners, the other is fielders.
-Catcher starts the cycle by throwing to 2nd (continues around the
field-NO pitcher), as the runner is running the bases
-The object is to get the ball back home before the runner – NOT to get
the runner out

What it teaches the fielders:
1. know what to do with the ball when they get it – know where to go with it
2. throwing accuracy-the team is depending on you to make a good throw (and catch)
3. move FAST

What it teaches the runners:
1. speed
2. focus on the objective and teamwork to depend on your team (in this case, the runners) to tell you where the ball is
