STEP 1

Setup

Put on your glove and shoes, then check the field surface and nearby space. Gently rotate your shoulders, wrists, and ankles to prepare.

STEP 2

Start phase

Start with an easy game of catch at a short distance. Once you are warm, move on to batting and fielding.

STEP 3

End phase

Walk lightly and loosen your shoulders slowly as you finish. Let your breathing settle, then check your workout duration.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Base running and fielding work your cardiovascular system and whole body. When throwing and batting, drive power from your legs and torso rotation.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Throw with your whole body instead of just your arm. Make sure no one is nearby before swinging the bat.

STEP 6

Breathing

Breathe naturally instead of holding your breath when throwing or batting. Use the break between innings to settle your breathing.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Record the time spent playing softball. Do not enter at-bats, pitch counts, or scores.
