Beginners Softball Throwing Drills - Scarecrow

Purpose: A softball drill which teaches athletes how to throw a softball by letting players practice fielding and throwing techniques and check mechanics.

Procedure: The player takes two steps forward to field an imaginary ground ball. She gathers the ball in and then quickly jump turns to a throwing position  with both elbows up. The player holds that position, check alignment (sidways to the target, feet in proper position, and shoulders level), and maintains balance.
