Jerrod and Steve came up with some great suggestions covering free girls softball fastpitch drills. Keep ?em coming!
From Jerrod?
Bounce Drill - My players and I believe in this softball drill.
We use dimpled machine balls because they are easy to bounce. The purpose of this drill is to make sure the hitter is balanced at the plate. The bouncer is about 30 feet from the hitter behind an L-screen. We attempt to bounce the ball towards the middle/away part of the plate. The hitter is instructed to hit the ball middle/away. Great drill for off-speed pitches.
From Steve?
Soft Toss drill to develop timing, weight transfer, hands back and hitting off back foot. Seems like a lot but the drill is simple and will have immediate results.
Assuming grip is correct and stance is solid have hitter pick up lead foot and balance on back foot. Coach will present ball high and drop it low to toss. At the bottom of the toss hitter takes stride keeping weight back and head from moving. Swing away!
Even beginning hitters will get immediate feedback.
