I played softball for 9 years and it all depends on where your standing and what position.You would throw it like you would a baseball

There is no comprehensive NCAA softball schedule, as the NCAA itself has no role in scheduling other than rule limits on number of games played. The only thing the NCAA schedules is the postseason tournament, which can be found on the softball page at NCAA.org (although there isn't much info as most early round sites and none of the teams have not been set).\nAs far as finding schedules, you are best checking individual schools and sometimes conferences, which will at least list all league games (although that is hit or miss by conference).\nGood luck.

You need to prepare a document, a SPONSORSHIP REQUEST document, where you will write about your softball team and your intensions. You also need to clearly state the benefits that one company will have if they sponsor you. Plus, i suggest you offer them different packages for sponsorship, like GOLD SPONSOR, SILVER SPONSOR and so on...\n\nE.g. If somebody pays for a GOLD SPONSORSHIP plan, you can offer them to have their company logo printed on your official team wear and stuff like...\n\nYou need to come up with these plans and the sponsors benefits, meaning what they get when they pay for a certain plan. Compile all this information into a nice document and there you go. But remember the "KISS" rule... keep it short and simple... preferably not longer than 6-10 pages.

as you know life is not fair,with that in mind I would switch my daughter to softball for these reasons;her older brother will no longer be there to protect her from her teammates when she makes a mistake and they begin to harass her and two if she likes baseball now and maybe in the future as a girl she will be on a softball team so it will be better to learn those skills early and become a great player rather than having to learn a completely new game from the start and getting too different sports mixed up.

Glove, Softball for at home, cleats, batting golves, sliding pads.\nBats are optional because the team usually has a few different types to chose from.

Softball is much like baseball - hit the ball and run the bases correctly, and  you win the game.  Basketball is a dance where you seek to impose the "rhythm" of YOUR game onto the other team - a little more difficult but utimately much more rewarding

The first version of softball was invented in Chicago, Illinois in 1887 by George Hancock, a reporter for the Chicago Board of Trade, as a winter version of baseball. It was intended to be a way for baseball players to keep in practice during the winter.\n\nYale and Harvard alumni had gathered at the Farragut Boat Club in Chicago to hear the score of the annual football game. When the score was announced and bets were paid, one person threw a boxing glove at another. The other person grabbed a stick and swung at it.Hancock called "Play ball!" and the game began. Hancock took a boxing glove and tied it into a ball. A broom handle was used as a bat. The ball, being soft, was fielded barehanded rather than with gloves like those which had been introduced to baseball in 1882. Hancock developed a ball and an undersized bat in the next week. The Farragut Club soon set rules for the game, which spread quickly to outsiders.\n\nIn 1895 Lewis Rober, Sr. of Minneapolis organized outdoor games as exercise for firefighters; this game was known as kitten ball (after the first team to play it), pumpkin ball, or diamond ball. Rober's version of the game used a twelve-inch (305 mm) ball rather than the sixteen-inch (406 mm) ball used by the Farragut club, and eventually the Minneapolis ball prevailed, although the dimensions of the Minneapolis diamond were passed over in favour of the dimensions of the Chicago one. Rober may not have been familiar with the Farragut Club rules. The first softball league outside the United States was organized in Toronto in 1897.\n\nThe name softball dates from 1926 (in addition to indoor baseball, kitten ball, and diamond ball, names for the game included mush ball, and pumpkin ball). Standard rules were agreed on only after the formation of the Amateur Softball Association in 1933.\n\nSixteen-inch (406 mm) softball, also sometimes referred to as "mush ball" or "Super-slow pitch" is a direct descendant of Hancock's original game. Defensive players are not allowed to wear fielding gloves; however, a sixteen inch softball is actually soft, and can be fielded safely with bare hands. Sixteen inch softball is played extensively in Chicago, Illinois.\n\nIn the 1940s, fast pitching started to dominate the game. Slow pitch was invented to give batters a better chance to hit the ball.\n\nAfter World War II, Canadian soldiers introduced softball to The Netherlands.\n\nIn 1991, Women's fast-pitch was selected to debut at the 1996 Summer Olympics.\n\nIn 2002, sixteen-inch slow pitch was written out of the ISF official rules, though still played extensively in the United States under Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) rules.\n\nThe 117th meeting of the International Olympic Committee, held in Singapore in July 2005, voted to drop Softball and Baseball as Olympic sports for the 2012 Summer Olympic Games.

Please learn to spell "participate."  After that, allow girls to participate in football, then you can complain about not participating in softball (and field hockey!)   Ok?

Hello,\n\nSoftball Rules Simplified   \n\nTHE GAME\n\nThere are 9 players on a softball team. \nThe playing field is divided into the infield and outfield \nThe lines between the bases are 60’ apart and when joined they form a “diamond”, inside the baseline is known as the infield \nOutside the baseline but inside the playing field is called the outfield. \nAny ball going outside the 1st or 3rd base line is a foul ball ( runners can not advance and the batter gets another try unless the ball was caught in the air, which translates to an out) \nAn official game is 7 innings (a inning is when both teams have had their turn to bat) \n\n\nPITCHING\n\nThe pitcher must have both feet on the pitcher’s rubber and can only take one step forward while pitching. \nThe ball must be thrown underhand. \nBoth hands must be on the ball at the start of the pitch. \n\n\nBATTING\n\nBatters must follow the same order throughout the whole game \nThe batter is out if and when: \na) three strikes have been called\n\nb) a fly ball is caught\n\nc) the batter does not stand in the batter’s box\n\n\nBASE RUNNING\n\nRunners must touch each base in order \nRunners may overrun 1st base only, all other bases the runner may be tagged and called out if they are off the base. \nRunners can not lead off a base, they must be on base until the ball as left the pitcher’s hand \nAfter a fly ball has been caught the base runner must tag the occupied base before advancing to the next base \nOne base runner can not pass another base runner that is ahead of them. \nStealing a base is not permitted \nA runner is out if: \na. they are tagged with the ball before reaching a base\n\nb. the ball gets to 1st base before the runner\n\nc. they run more than 3 feet out of the base line to avoid being tagged\n\n\nTERMS:\n\nBall- a legally pitched ball that does not enter the strike zone (four balls equals a walk) \nGrounder- A ball that is hit on the ground \nForce out- when the runner has to advance to the next base to make room for the following base runner. \nFly ball- ball hit up in the air to the infield \nOn deck- the next batter \nPop up- ball hit up in the air to the infield \nStrike- term used when a ball is swung at and missed or is called when the ball enters the strike zone and is not swung at all. \nStrike zone- the ball passes the batter over the plate between their chest and knees  \n\nSreekar.

When i drove a school bus i took a softball team to play another school. as i was watching the game i noticed the pitcher of the opposing team pitching. and her ball was going really fast. so i asked someone from that school how was she could pitch and they told me that she was clocked at 55 mph. they had brought a radar gun to the game and clocked her and she was on a scholarship to attend a college.

It wouldnt vary from any other form of softball/baseball.\n\nKeep your weight back\nback elbow up\nwhen the pitcher is about to release the ball begin to move the weight forward\nthe butt end of the bat should follow through towards the pitcher, leading the hands\nkeep your head down, you want to watch the ball hit the bat\npivit your back foot, somtimes called "squashing the bug"\nfollow the swing all the way through

each position has a number\n1. pitcher\n2. Catcher\n3. First Base\n4. Second Base\n5. Third Base\n6. Short stop\n7. Left Field\n8. Center Field\n9. Right Field \n10. is if there are 4 out fielders\n\nThe batters will be in the rows on a page\nThe columns on the page will display the inning.\n\nIn the First inning first batter you will use the top quare.\n\nIf he goes to first, draw a line from home to first in that box.  Same for second and so on.  If he scores make a complete diamond in that box and fill it in.\n\nMake sure the next inning you use the new column with the cordinating batter.\n\nIf a batter flies out to short stop write F6, stand for flew out to shortstop or (6).  IF the short stop picks up the ball and throughs it to first, it is a 6-3 out. (Short stop - First Base)  In the box of the out you may want to make it clear that there was and out by writing the 1,2, or 3 and Circle them, incase someone asks the outs.\n\nThere are many other statistics  the coach might want, but that should get  you started.

Here's a link to some very informative fast pitch material which, in chart form, nicely presents situations for a pitcher and recommended pitch types and placement. I'm sorry, it is much too detailed to recap for you here, but I recommend that if you are serious about being an effective fast pitch chucker, you place the link in your favourites or print it out. ty.
