Practice Drills for Girls Softball – Moving to the Base

Purpose: Drill for softball infielders to let them improve quickness and range moving to first base.

Procedure: The first baseman takes a position halfway to home as if fielding a bunt. On the coach's command "go," she sprints to the base (turning inward to the diamond), finds the base, takes the receiving position, catches an imaginary ball, and tags the base. The player repeats the drill, moving ever closer to home to increase the distance and push herself to improve quickness in getting to the base.
