At Home Training:  Here are few of the things to always be doing to improve your game. 

Play Catch

• Play catch, play catch, play catch!  We can’t say it enough, but the more you play catch and work on throwing and catching the better.

Swing a Bat

•  Swing a bat either by itself, hit a ball off a tee, or do soft toss into a net.  Each one of these you can practice your swing & repetition is key.

Be active – play another sport

• Being active and getting more agile and stronger vastly improves your softball play.  Sports that have lateral movement and explosive activity are the best.  

Do drills

• Doing drills on specific softball skills helps a lot.  This can be a fielding drill, a hitting drill, a pitching drill, a catching drill, you name it, the more you practice the better.

Watch Softball / Baseball

• The more softball / baseball you watch the more you can learn the game.  Knowing what to do in all different situations is a huge way to improve your softball play.
