Fun Softball Drills — Two Hand Catch

These [tag]fun softball drills[/tag] have two objectives. Teaching young [tag]softball[/tag] players to use two hands when catching fly balls and 2nd, for fun.

On a hot day, take a bucket of water-filled balloons to practice. At the end of the [tag]softball practice[/tag], tell the girls this is a [tag]softball drill[/tag] to enforce the use of two hands in catching these “special balls” with no glove.   Have them gather in a group and all the [tag]softball coach[/tag]es start tossing balloons above the players.

They catch on pretty quick that this is for fun, but also that it is impossible to catch these with one hand. The caveat to this is–they can throw the ones they catch unbroken back at the coaches!
