Fun softball game rules

Before the girls go back to school, we're having a two day camp for the girls as a team bonding get together. We will work agility and endurance in the morning, do some serious drills, go over plays, have a couple high school coaches do guest spots for an hour each, and then spend the last part of the day playing games.

The purpose is to give the girls a great opportunity to start bonding with one another. So we really want the afternoons to be fun. So I'm looking for some suggestions, either softball related or not. We discussed water balloons, wiffle ball over the line game, cat and mouse on the bases.

We've played one game where you have teams of two and the first batter hits off a tee and advances as far as she can. The second batter has to bat her in to score, or the runner is out. The girls really enjoy this game. Any ideas for 14u would be really appreciated. Oct 3, 3, Right Here For Now. Our girls really enjoyed the "bucket" game. Place them on home plate. Divide your team equally between the 2B and SS positions. You alternate hitting hard grounders between the two teams.

They have to run through the balls and throw at the bucket stack. If they got 5 holed they lost a point. First team to 15 gets a prize They loved the competition and promoted solid fielding and throwing accuracy.

Mar 7, 0 PA. The favorite game at this age was Queen of the Diamond - Find a wall. Have them line up and throw the ball against the wall and the player behind must field it cleanly and throw.

A bobble means your out of the game. It got intense it was great to do indoors and helped some of our girls who were afraid of diving for balls, because when its a competition we had girls go all out Knock Out- split players into two teams, set boundries like a tennis court.

Ball must bounce atleast once on opponents side. Goal is to try and get the ball past without it being fielded. If you do get it past the line without being fielded that team loses a player.

The team which knocks out the other first wins. Split into teams. One team is at bat, the other is in the field. The team in the field has 1 player start at 1st base, 1 at 3rd base and 1 in the outfield we typically do a certain spot on the left field line.

The batter gets one soft toss the hit and run the bases. The fielding team sprints to the ball once contact is made. The ball has to be thrown to the pitchers mound but must touch all three fielders.

The bouncer then bounces a tennis ball in the direction of the hitter. The hitter must allow the ball to bounce in front of the plate before swinging at the ball. With this drill your players can improve their quickness as a batter and learn to hit the ball to different parts of the field. Have each player warm up by hitting a minimum of 10 pitches in the cage before starting the drill.

During the drill, the batter stands in the batter's box while you stand to the side. Toss two balls, each a different color, to your batter simultaneously. Yell out a color and the batter must hit the corresponding ball. This improves split-second decision-making, hand-eye coordination and overall quickness. Have each batter take about 15 swings. Getting your team moving with the infield hustle drill will improve their throwing and fielding skills.

First, separate your players into four groups and line them up at each of the bases and the shortstop position. Hit a ground ball to the player at third base and have her throw the ball as accurately as possible to the player at first base. After she throws the ball, have her run to the back of the shortstop line. Immediately after hitting the ball to third base, hit another one to the player in front of the line at shortstop and a third ball to the player in front of the second base line.

Have these players accurately throw the ball to first base and move to the line that is located to their left. After the player at first base has taken the throw from the player at second, hit a ball to the player lined up at first.

Players are eliminated when they have committed three throwing or fielding errors. Kristin Davis has been writing since , specializing in the health and fitness fields.
