Tagging up on a pop fly explained..and a monkey!

Have you ever found yourself on base after a spectacular hit when you heard those ominous words; “Less than two out, so tag up if it’s in the air“? Does this statement strike fear, anxiety and/or a general state of confusion?

No worries! There’s a video for that!

Was this video helpful? Do I need to find better videos? Do I need to make a video? Let me know in the comments section.

have any other areas of softball that you would like to see covered? Let me know via the comments or Contact Us page.

See you Sunday! Remember, games start at noon.

New to softball? Here’s a video or five

Based on last Sunday’s practice, there is quite a group of people new to softball. This is great news!  During the practice, a pile of great questions were asked about the finer points of softball. To answer some of your questions, I dug up some videos from YouTube.com. They cover the basics of hitting, fielding, and running the bases.

HITTING:
How to grip a softball bat
How to hit a softball

FIELDING A BALL:
How to field a ground ball
How to catch a fly ball

RUNNING THE BASES:
Running through first base

Still have questions? With any luck, we will have a practice tomorrow and we can cover any and all questions that you may have.

Batters up & see you on the field!
Abby
