Purpose: This works to make softball the focus of our players the moment we start preparing for practice or a game.
Explanation: Just as basketball weaves down the court, our first warmup (versus a jog) is to weave in groups of threes (can have four). The ball starts in the middle line and they toss and catch 60 feet out and back.The ball then starts in the middle again. This time they repeat the process, except the ball starts in the glove and they do a flip back and forth. The next time is barehand, followed by outside of the glove and finishing by rolling grounders out and back.
A great way to start every time and to really get them to focus is to stand in the way of the weave and try to intercept. Sometimes I jump in line, and we make it a lot of fun. The key is that you run behind the person you threw it to.
