Fielding and Hitting-Notes from Today's Practice

Today at practice we spent some time focusing on the fundamentals of throwing the softball such as hand placement on the ball and wrist snap. On the link below you can view a video from YouTube that talks about some of the drills we did today. These are some drills that your daughters can do at home in with a tennis ball in the house, garage, or outside of the house. Main focus is the wrist snap as this is where we are going to gain accuracy and power.

As for hitting, we will be developing our swing using the same technique as the US Olympic team and several major college programs as well as the local high school teams. I have attached a link below for a video with some good information on hitting technique. You can also seach on YouTube for Sue Enquist or Mike Candrea hitting videos. Hitting off of a tee is a really good method for developing these skills.
