Softball Throwing Drills – Bent Knee

Purpose: To isolate the arms in order to focus on the proper use of both arms and on the arms working in opposition. This drill works on the important softball throwing mechanics.

Procedure: Partners take positions 15 feet apart and kneel on the leg of the throwing-arm side. The other leg is bent with the foot flat on the ground. The thrower points her glove at the target and throws using proper arm action. The receiver catches the ball and repeats the action.
