One of the areas that coaches request help with are softball practice ideas for teams with new and experienced players. Read below for a great suggestion on this topic:
I coach a JV softball team. We only have 10 players, of which half have nearly no experience of playing before. One thing I learned right away, is that it’s impossible to get all of them the instruction they need in our 2 hour softball practice session.
I therefore assigned each player a partner for warm-ups and simple two person softball drills. I paired each experienced player with an inexperienced player. I have found that this helps the progression with the less experienced player as they get a chance to work with a better player.
The better players have actually helped mentor the lessor players by offering basic tips and help to their partners. I think this builds character in the the better players, and it also allows the lessor player to improve without really having to be coached.

CoachMyKid is the single place for drills for kids. If you find a drill that is useful, post it to CoachMyKid so others can find it.
