Fastpitch Softball Drills – Line Scoops

Purpose: This drill teaches players how to catch a softball by having them practice scooping balls while running.

Procedure: A fielding line faces a tosser at a distance of 30 to 40 feet. In turn, each fielder runs hard at the tosser, who rolls or tosses a ball that must be scooped by the fielder. The fielder tosses it back to the tosser and goes to the end of the fielding line.
