Softball Pitching Drills Free – Bull's-Eye

Purpose: A drill for softball pitching used to let pitcher throw strikes.

Description: Split your pitchers into two teams and assign a catcher for each. At younger ages when your players are just starting to learn the skills of softball, this drill allows all your players the chance to practice pitching. For ages 10 and up, you'll likely use this drill just for your players who will be in the pitching position. Place the catchers the regulation pitching distance for your league away from the pitchers. The coach and an assistant or another player position themselves behind each catcher to call balls and strikes. Pitchers line up in a single file, and the first pitcher in line for each team makes five pitches to her catcher, giving way to the next pitcher after the five pitches are completed and taking a position at the end of the line. Continue until each pitcher has had two turns. The team with the highest number of strikes wins.
