Softball Fielding Drills – Ready, Set, Go

Purpose: To practice fielding ground balls from basic "ready, set, go" positions.

Procedure: The coach faces the players, who are in a staggered position in three or four lines. On command, players assume "ready," then "set" position. On command "go," players take three steps forward to field and gather an imaginary ball. They catch and go to the softball throwing position with quick feet. Players don't retreat but take the ready position at that spot to continue the drill.

Variation: The coach can call for any type of catch following the command "go."
