Softball Training with ROHS
Coach - Practice Plan
Below is a simple practice plan to help you get started on the season!
15 Min: Warmup
•Team Stretching/ Throwing (Throwing progression)
•Wrist flips, quicksand throwing, step and throw, shuffle and throw
 
45 MIN: Defense Drills
•Partner shuffle drill (3 rounds: 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 minute)
•Field and funnel: Each partner is down on their knees with a focus of fielding the ball out in front and gathering the ball to their belly button
•Short hops: While partners are on their knees, they will focus on pushing their glove hand palm through the ball
•IF/OF: Players take their positions and work on groundballs and fly balls and make plays to the appropriate base. This would be the time to discuss cut-offs, double cuts, bunt coverage, etc.
 
45 MIN: Hitting Drills
•Tee work: 5 steps to setup- even feet, athletic balance, knob to the catcher, load and step, and drive hips thru the swing
•Soft toss: Underhand flips to hitters. Focus on inside/outside pitches, and the 5 steps. Load will be most important as a ball is now moving.
•Overhand pitches: Put hitters in live at bat situations. 0-0 count, 2 strike approach, hitting with runners on.
 
15 MIN: Wrap Up/ Conditioning
