Free Softball Practice Drills - Strike Challenge

Purpose: Strike challenge, a drill for softball pitching,  helps your pitchers develop the confidence that they can throw strikes in any situation - from their Thanksgiving family games to the deciding games of big tournaments.

Procedure: With your pitcher and catcher at their normal positions, challenge your pitcher to see how many strikes in a row she can throw. Give her five rounds; if the first ball she throws is a strike, she keeps going until she throws a ball, at which point she begins her second round. Anytime she throws a ball, that round ends and she starts a new round.
