Free Softball Drills – Throwing on the Run

Purpose: This drill works on sofball throwing mechanics by having players develop throwing accuracy when throwing on the run.

Procedure: Partners in two lines face each other 60 feet apart. Make sure players are well spread apart so that an errant throw does not hit anyone. One partner does a self-toss and then runs hard at her partner for three to five steps and makes a chest-high throw. The thrower returns to her original position, and the partner repeats the drill going the opposite direction. To make the drill realistic, players should run at the speed they will use in a game.
