im 15 f and i play fast pitch. fast pitch isn't until fall but i really really need some good pointers on how to get my arm back into shape. Now is the time i need to start getting it back.I am the fast pitch pitcher soo i'm not getting my arm back in shape just for throwing.

does anyone have any warm ups i can use?
What are some good things that will improve my aim?
Any exercizes that I can do without a ball?

ANY advice is very appreciated. I do rate. (link)
ok basically for warm-ups just lightly throw the ball like you would pitch, but not full speed, also to get your arm in to shape just go out and start maybe throwing 10 full-speed pitches one day, then build up throwing more and more pitches as the days go by and by the time you need to pitch again your arm should be back to full strength. For aim i no this may sound funny, but if you happen to have a cat and you have a litter box, and it comes in a plastic container, use it, or if not find a medium size plastic container of some sorts and try to hit it each time you pitch, this helps to save you money. and without the ball, you can always stand next to a wall or fence and practice your mechanics in order to make sure you keep a mechanically sound windup.


Yeah is there anything I can do to become a better high school safety? Any drills and tips would be fine. Also what is the average size for a high school safety? (link)
basically i don't have any websites that i know of where there are really good safety drills, but the drills you need to be doing are footwork drills(for ex. the ladder), and some basic zone coverage drills such as learning where to go and what to do in lets say a Cover 2 or 3, and you also need to learn to read a quarterback, because often in high school football a quarterback will telegraph his passes and if you can read him well enough you can jump the route and get an int.
For the average size of a safety, is about 5'8" to about 6'1", it all depends there are many different needs forr safety,like John Lynch who is 6'2", 240, you will probably need to be somewhere in between 150-200 lbs depending on your height.


I found this thing on fastpitchsoftball.com. It says it's a "Power Pad." It is made by Easton. I wanna know if it is a training thing or is it a thing you use in a game? What exactly is it used for? I have read it, but I still want to know more about it and I have never heard of them. But are they legal to use in a game?

Here's the link:

it's perfectly fine for use in games. All it does is take away some of the sting in the bat, and add extra padding the outer part of your hand. Its basically the equivalent of a Player in the MLB using tape on the end of their bat.
