The batter stands next to the cinder block as if it were home plate. The coach bounces a ball onto the cinder block. The player hits the ball into the net off the bounce. Players rotate in and out of this drill after a predetermined number of hits.

PURPOSE: To improve bunting technique. This drill is an excellent motivator for perfecting bunting skills. This drill will help coaches during games in coaching softball

PROCEDURE: Equipment needed are three cones, batting helmets, gloves, balls, bats. Set up three cones on the third-base line about 5 feet from home plate. Place one cone on the line and the others two feet and four feet at the fair territory beside the first cone. The coach will then pitch the ball. The batter squares to bunt, trying to bunt the ball between the two outside cones. Award one extra swing during regular batting practice if the batter bunts the ball between the two outside cones. The batter earns two extra swings for knocking down the middle cone. The coach can widen the cones depending on the age of the players or the team's skill, Positive reinforcement is importart in this drill.

Purpose: To improve hand-eye coordination while forcing players to think ahead. This is going to help your softball fielding.

Procedure: Equipment used are Two soft covered balls or tennis balls, gloves

1. All players stand up next to each other in a straight line. Make sure there is adequate space between each player.

2. One player steps out 10 to 15 feet from the line and moves to the center, facing the other players.

3. The player facing the line is the "line rraster" and has one ball.

4. The first person at the end of the line to the line master's right also has a ball

Purpose: To develop softball catching, softball fielding, and immediate softball throwing skills during a East-ditch effort for the final out at home plate.

Procedure: Equipments required are basket full of softballs, gloves. Position two catchers at home plate in full gear. Divide the rest of the players into the three outfield posi¬tions. The coach stands near the pitcher's mound with a bucket of softballs and simulates a hit by throwing a ball to one of the outfield positions. The first player in line charges the ball, picks it up, and throws it home, all in one fluid notion. The catcher gels into position to catch the ball and tag the runner out. The coach throws to each outfield position in turn. The two catchers rotate after three or four throws.

Purpose: This softball throwing drill is to develop techniques for relaying a softball from the outfield to the infield.

Procedure: Two buckets of softballs, six empty plastic buckets, gloves. Divide the players into two teams, station, one team and a coach in right center, and the otter team and a coach in left center.Each group has a bucket of hardballs. On home plate, stack six empty plastic buckets into a pyramid. Place one player from each team in the infield.The teams alternate turns. The coach throws the ball high behind the outfielder, preferably hitting the outfield fence. The outfielder turns, locates the ball, runs to it, picks it up, turns, and throws it to the infielder. The infielder pivots after the catch, and throws the ball toward the buckets, trying to knock down as many as possible. The outfielder becomes the infielder, and the infielder goes to the end of the line in the outfield.

Purpose: This softball hitting drill is to improve the hitter's hand quickness

Procedure: Equipment required is Whiffle golf balls, a bat or a wooden stick, a temporally home plate.Using a regulation bat or a stick cut to the length of a bat, the player assumes a hitting stance The feeder stands a safe distance from the hitter, but close enough to be able to drop a Whiffle golf ball into one of the three hitting zones. The feeder should be able to drop a ball that simulates either an inside pitch, an outside pitch, or a pitch down the middle. To drop the Whiffle golf ball into the batter's inside hitting zone, the feeder should drop the ball in front of the hitter at a point on the inside corner of the plate. To drop the whiffle golf ball into the outside hit trig zone, the feeder should drop the ball in front of tie hitter to the batter's outside corner of the plate. To drop the Whiffle golf ball into the middle of the batter's hitting zone, the feeder should drop the ball in front of the hitter at a point in the middle of the plate.

Purpose: To develop the hitter's ability to wait for a pitch and in effectiveness against an off-speed pitch.

Procedure:  Equipments needed crate of tennis balls, a bat. The player assumes a hitting stance. A feeder sits in a chair bent and throws a tennis ball toward the hitter. Upon its arrival in his hitting zone should hit the ball. The ball should be thrown so that it bounces before the hitter. The speed of the bounces should vary. The feeder should change his arm so that the hitter can't tell what type of pitch is coming. This softball hitting drill develops the hitter ability to be patient and keep the back leg.

Purpose:To improve the players hand-eye coordination and foot coordination.

Procedure: Five softballs for each pair of players. The players are randomly paired. Each player stacks two balls in his glove-hand, which is bare-handed. The two players stand approximately 10 feet apart as they face each other and play catch with the fifth ball. Each player uses the two balls stacked in his glove-hand for a glove. As the ball is tossed over-handed, the player who is catching the ball should turn his body slightly away from the player who is tossing the ball. Turning away from the player who is throwing the ball keeps the receivers glove-hand near the thrower. This position places the body in the correct position to throw the ball once the player makes the catch. During this softball fielding drill, the players should exhibit "happy feet" i.e., feet continually moving in place in a short choppy manner.

Purpose: To develop and sharpen the infielders technique of fielding the three most common types of ground balls hit toward his position.
