  • In this video, I go over the basics on how to play softball. I demonstrate how to throw, and catch. I give you tips on how the ball should be cached in different situations, such as ground balls and fly balls.

This is only my second year playing softball and I’m trying out for the alliance team (kind of like a travel team) but last year my coaches said to basically just catch the ball and throw it to the pitcher, so this is the first year I’m learning actual plays and rules so this was very helpful with the pitching and where to hold your hands

      @throughjoelianiceslens3592  Рік тому +1

      I think you should give yourself some credit, taking your time to look at videos and going out ya way to try something new takes a lot of Guts. I recommend you try your best. Show that you want to learn softball and are willing to work hard to learn it. Just know that if you don’t make it, it does not mean you should not try again. It just means you need more time to learn and practice. I would speak with the coach and even ask if you could stay and watch practices or even participate in them even if you are not part of the team these way you can try out for next year again. You should ask for tips too from the coach. This will show you are going out ya way to be the best. I wish you good luck. I love your ambition to try new sport. 💪🏻if you got any questions let me know.

But at age 11 that wasn’t the case and I become the most athlete person. Now u have the opportunity to become a stronger and better person.
