Procedure: Use equipment used in a game. Use a different pitcher for each inning. This idea can work great for a scrimmage against another team or an early season match-up when the coach wants to get all of his/her pitchers some action. Make sure the next pitcher is preparing on the side for entry in the upcoming inning. It's best to have a coach directing the bullpen, especially when warming up position players. For 7 innings use 7 pitchers. And for 14 continuous innings (e.g. fall college game) use 7 pitchers at 2 innings each. Note, Hitting teams hate facing Staff Day, because they can never get comfortable against a particular pitcher.

Procedure: Set up a protective screen or soft toss net, tee, and softballs. Place the screen or net just behind home plate. Put a tee, with a softball on top of it on the plate. Pitchers throw from the pitcher's plate. For indoors,  measure the proper pitching distance according to the age level. Three pitches per round. An instructor should record the *points. Declare a winner per station, age group, or up to 25 points. An example drill is, assign a set pitching order attempt to maintain equal rounds of pitching. The on-deckperson should be the ball feeder.  Make sure they pickup the balls as a group.

*Scoring includes:

3 points: Pitch which hits the ball off the tee.

2 points: Pitch which hits the tee (pole only).

1 point: Pitch which hits the screen.

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.

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.

Procedure: Equipment that are required are Balls and gloves. This activity is for the age group of 9 and above.Arrange the pitchers in a line. At the signal, have each person grip the ball according to the call (softball four- and two-seam fastballs, change-up, curveball and slider, softball: fastball, curve-ball, change-up, in-shoot, drop and rise). With the glove in front of the face, grip the ball without moving the mitt. The instructor should watch each phase of this activity from behind the group. Then have each pitcher perform this drill with a live toss to a catcher. Note: Little League pitchers, for example, should try and master 2 to 3 pitches.

Procedure: Equipment required is Softballs, gloves, and home plates (can also use white towels). This drill is for 9 years and up.Rules are Partner up. Start with the proper grip while holding the glove out front just under eye level. Continue at each formation until the group leader switches the discipline. Points that you need to Consider: Turn with the ball and glove, make a smooth transfer behind the back, get the ball above the throwing shoulder, rotate back, tuck the glove, snap the ball out from beyond the head, continue the body forward, swing the back leg through, and be in a balanced fielding position.
Perform each drill according to the desired discipline, each completed with a throw.
1.2 knee : Work on the hip pivot,
2.1 knee : Glove-side foot in front; work on bringing the ball back and up.
3.1 Leg: Glove-side leg in front with a wide stance; work on transfer and swinging the back leg through.
4.Stretch: Feet shoulders width apart facing either first or third base; work on striding to the plate and weight shift.
5.Wind-up. Work on a small step back, the balance point, and coordination throughout.

Procedure: Stand sideways, as if you have already taken your stride, about ten feet from a partner. Throw your pitch without the windup and with just a slight backswing, working on getting most of your power from your wrist snap. Work on all the pitches this way until you feel comfortable with the different releases.

Procedure: This game can be played with two or more pitchers and a catcher. The object of the game is to throw ten strikes. The first pitcher throws as many balls as it takes to get to ten called strikes. The next pitcher then has to try to beat that number by throwing fewer pitches to get to ten strikes. The catcher is the judge in this drill.

Procedure: Pitcher 1 is at the defensive position, while pitcher 2 is behind the pitching area. The catcher and first baseman are at their defensive positions. The head coach is the hitter and is at home plate. Pitcher 1 pitches a ball and as the ball gets to the catcher, the coach hits another ball to the right or left of pitcher 1, who fields the ball and throws it to first base. The pitchers rotate positions, and the drill sequence is repeated. The drill continues for as long as desired.

Procedure: To see if you have a problem with your stride when softball pitching, have a partner hold a strick in front of you before you begin your motion. As you stride, make sure your foot goes over the stick.
