The benefits of softball
- Conditioning Body: Unlike other sports, softball is an activity that requires multiple skills, and therefore provides total body conditioning. There are aerobic benefits from running; upper body development from batting, throwing and catching; lower body conditioning from fielding; and an increase in arm and shoulder strength from pitching. In addition, softball develops hand-eye coordination and sharpens mental focus.
- Improves Self Esteem: Girls involved in sports, like softball, generally feel better about themselves, both mentally and socially. Practicing, improving skills and gradually achieving goals help build confidence, reduce stress and make them more resistant to social pressure. Often, lifelong friendships are formed on the field as the girls learn to trust and rely on each other.
- Teamwork: But the benefits of sports go beyond school and athletics. Working with coaches, trainers and teammates to achieve goals is great practice for the real world where teaming up with others to meet goals are keys to success.
- Leadership Skills: Girls usually receive more benefits than they expect from participating in sports. They get attention and respect that they may not receive elsewhere, and participation provides them with opportunities for leadership and socialization, as well as the development of skills for handling success and failure.
Expectations for softball
Will usually begin with conditioning drills to assess the overall fitness of prospective players. These drills will include warm-ups, basic calisthenics like jump rope, jumping jack and sit-ups, short running and jogging drills and timed runs along the base paths. For tryouts at higher levels – high school, club teams and above – prospective players may run two-base drills for time. The two-base drill begins with the player standing on first or second base, then running top-speed through two bases. The drills are usually from first-to-third or from second-to-home plate.
