Drills
6U softball drills
6U softball drills with video, setup and coaching points, grouped by skill: 3 drills for this age group.
6U covers tee ball and coach pitch: players can learn real skills, but only a few at a time. Keep each drill short with one simple idea, lots of turns and a game feel so nobody stands in line for long, and repeat the same few each week. Most of these work off a tee or with a coach feeding the ball.
- Four corners fielding drill — One fielder in the middle handles a ground ball, a line drive, a long hop and a short hop in a row from four teammates, then rotates out. A quick, indoor-friendly way to work every kind of ball an infielder sees.
- Goalie fielding drill — A young fielder guards a small goal marked on the ground and tries to stop every ground ball a coach rolls at it. It turns fielding into a game and teaches kids to move their feet and get in front of the ball.
- One knee throwing drill — Players throw to a partner from one knee, which takes the legs out of the throw so they can work on the arm path, reaching toward the target and finishing with the chest over the front knee.
