Softball Sliding Drills – Mass Sliding

Purpose: To determine the player's "tucked leg" for softball sliding.

Procedure: All players are in the outfield in a mass drill formation. The head coach stands facing the group. The player sits on the ground with the arms extended in back to support the upper body. The legs are extended in front with the knees slightly bent. The player raises the body on the hands and feet an then falls backwards, while tucking one leg underneath in a "4" shape. When the player falls backwards, the arms are thrown in front of the body with the hands in the air.
