Placing the ball hitting progression drill/game: This is a great drill to help develop your players to learn how to place the ball where they want in the field, by learning how to position their body, contact points and bat control when they are in the batters box.
*
Setup of Drill: Setup your tee on home plate. Place 1 bownet right in front or behind 2nd base. Place another bownet in the infield right in between where the 2nd baseman and 1st baseman would be standing. Place 4 cones in the the shape of a square in left field corner overlapping, half in fair and half in foul territory. Place another 4 cones in the shape of a rectangle in left centre field. Place another 4 pylons in the shape of a rectangle in right centre field and last place the last 4 pylons in the shape of a square in the right field corner overlapping, half in fair and half in foul territory. You will have 4 sets of cones in the outfield and 2 bownets setup in the infield.
*
Step 1: Divide your players into 2 teams and have one team go up to bat. Let your players know the following: Hit the ball into the bownets they get 1 point each. Hit the ball and place it in one of the square/rectangles in left field that’s 2 points. Hit the ball and place it in one of the square/rectangles in right field that’s 3 points.
*
Step 2: Have every player go up to bat on each team and add up that teams points. You can have each player hit 1 to 5 balls during their at-bat to help them get the feeling of where they want to place the ball. The team at the end with the most points wins the game.
*
Have a coach on home plate, ask each player where they want to hit the ball. Then instruct them on how to position their body, feet and bat swing path and bat control.
*
After your team has done this drill a couple times using a tee and you can see improvement on where they are intentionally placing the ball. Progress to having a coach do soft toss to their players doing the same drill/game.
*
This is a great drill to help develop your players hitting skills on where they want to place the ball. #softball #SoftballDrills 🥎🥎🥎 #EasySoftballDrills #Softball #SoftballPracticeDrills #FunSoftballDrills #hittingdrill
