Drill 1)
Team up in 2s and have a contest to see which team can make the most [tag]throws[/tag] and [tag]catches[/tag] in 45 seconds. Teaches girls to get rid of ball quickly; teaches accuracy and obviously catching of ball. My team of 16-17 year old girls like this [tag]softball[/tag] [tag]drill[/tag] a lot.
Drill 2)
Star Drill–Have a girl at all the [tag]infield[/tag] positions except pitcher. Start the ball at home, where the rest of the team will be. [tag]Catcher[/tag] throws to short and follows the ball to shortstop position. Shortstop, who has just caught the ball, throws to 1st base and follows her throw. Girl at 1st,who has just caught the ball, throws to 3rd and follows her throw. Girl at third, who has just caught their ball, throws to 2nd and follows her throw. Girl at 2nd,who has just caught the ball throws to home and follows her throw. Person at home, who has just caught the ball, throws to short and does sequence again.
