Coach pitch softball drills
Coach pitch softball drills with video, setup and coaching points, grouped by skill: 2 drills for this age group.
Coach pitch players can learn real skills, but only a few at a time. Pick drills that keep every player moving, repeat the same few each week, and add one new wrinkle once the group has the first part down. Most of these work 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.
- 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.
