I need your advice in softball?

Softball is divided into two innings. One is batting and other is fielding. If you can catch pretty well that means that you will be particularly good at fielding. In fielding, good focus is required over the ball. Always keep a good eye on it. Therefore, when one come smashing at you, you can catch it. The batter will be out. However, I am struggling to know whether you will be a quality batswoman. \nWhether you will get into the team will depend on how good the surrounding girls are.

With a pop fly, throw the softball straight into the air above your head and the catch it, making sure to use two hands. Then once you feel comfortable with that you can start to throw it a little bahind you or a little in front of you. Grounders and then regular catching you can play catch with a parent or friend. Start down on one knee, with your catching knee raised, about 4-5 feet from your partner and throw lightly to gain cantrol. Once you feel comfortable with that you can stand up and one of you can take a couple steps back. Now, start throwing from that distance, while staanding. Remember to aim for the persons chest area.

Every coach conducts tryouts differently, don't be worried though.  They usually want to see how you field the ball, the way you bat, how fast you are and if your a team player.  Just keep a positive attitude and don't get discouraged.  I'm sure you'll do fine.  Best of luck!

Just practice and don't try too hard.  Also, each time you practice, experiment with hand positions, spots to use on the lane for your ball to follow, swing plane, adjusting your steps during approach and also learning muscle memory when delivering the ball.  Experimentation will help a lot because you will bowl like yourself with your own style and delivery.

Take them to a college softball game...one its free, and the ladies are very approachable, and they can give advice and maybe some pointers on the fundamentals of softball.

Be able to catch almost any ball that the infielders throw to you, and be able to reach and get off the base to catch not-so-good throws if you have to.  Also be able to throw the ball to 3rd base in case there's a forceout and you have to throw it to 3rd base.  You might want to be able to stop balls hit down the right field line, so perhaps practice diving for those.  Also stop balls hit to your right.  IN SUMMARY:  Be able to field the ball and be able to move and catch the ball very well.

Tell them that becuase they are the littler school that when they play those other bigger schools that they have no pressure on them. Tell them that because they are not expected to beat the bigger schools (which i am asuming is the case) the bigger school has to play harder, all you have to do is go out, play good ball, and play smart. If your pitchers are struggling then tell them that they need to relax and make the batters hit the ball, let their defense do the work for them, tell your pitchers that you dont want strikeouts, you want groundouts and pop ups. Tell your batters to be more patent at the plate, work the count tell them that if they are up with a man on 3rd and 1 out to just put the ball in play, you dont need a double or a triple or a homerun, just groundball or a fly ball to the outfield. Have your bigger and better hitters try to hit the hard ground , it will make them hit the top of the ball and drive it and will also put back spin on the ball so it will carry on line drives. Hope this helps your buddy out.

overall: after every game, ask your coach bout your mistakes and how you can improve. shooting: you have to do a lot to improve..oh, ask your coach/friends on how to bend your hand too.(different people, different positions so try all of them then use the one that you think is best!)  talking to your coach: write what you want to say somewhere that you can see, then give it to her or read it out.\ni hope it helps!!

What? Never heard that rule. I was of the understanding that if the ball hit the top of the wall/fence and went out, it was a home run. I guess there could be a different rule for softball.

Call your team "The Other Team." We did that for our softball team. It was a riot.  \n\n"Who's winning?" "The Other Team."\n\nYou get the idea.

keep your eye on the ball and swing fast. Get as far in on the plate as you safely can. That way you can at least catch a piece of it. Its your bat speed you need to increase. Try hitting skittles and let someone time you (seriously) Let them see how long it takes for you to swing and get back into stance to be ready for the next one. The skittles help your accuracy because they are small and the bright colors help you to see them. It will help your speed guaranteed. See how long it takes you to hit ten and then start over and try to beat your own speed. Do this over and over. IT works.

Some helpful hints-\nPass with your legs, don't swing your arms.\nMake your forearms as flat as you can when passing.\nWhen hitting, stay behind the ball. Don't worry about hitting the ball hard, focus on hitting it fast.\nWhen you're blocking, don't stand there and watch the other team's hitter, watch the ball as it is set and line up with the hitter's arm. \nWhen you're serving, don't throw the ball any higher than you have to. You want to hit it at the peak of the toss. Try to serve to the zones too. Don't serve to the same spot every time. And once you can do that, stare at the person you're going to serve at. It makes them incredibly nervous. It also causes them to think and therefore they usually mess up. \nThat's about it. Good luck.

Use the inside of your foot, by your arch.  Practice practice practice! Also, if you just need more difficulty to ramp up your game, try doing what you normally do, but with a softball on concrete. Just be careful not to step on it and have it roll out from underneath you and knock you flat. It hurts, I should know.

Hey, you wouldn't be pitching if your coach didn't think you were good.  Being nervous is normal.  Just hang out with friends.  They can take your mind off of it.  You'll be fine, just throw it in the strike zone :)

At that level I would think that any good high school softball player could get them on the right track. Call your athletic director and see if you can get a couple of volunteers.
