Softball Throwing Drills – Trash Can Drill

I sent out a request recently for my newsletter subscribers to send in their favorite softball throwing drills. Check out this one below. The improvements you’ll see in your players make this one a winner.

One softball drill that has worked for us:

Have the kids line up on second base.
Put a large trash can lying down on home plate.
Have the kids throw the ball into the trash can from second base.

This helps the kids learn:
1. To make the throw from second to home plate to get a runner out at home.
2. It teaches them down to the plate so the catcher can be on the plate and catch the softball to get the runner out. It works great with our major league softball girls ages 12-14.
