Question Posted Wednesday October 25 2006, 4:12 pm
So.
My two best friends are trying out for the school JV doftball team, we're in highschool obviously. I've always wanted to join a sports team at school so i figure i'd like to give softball a try. The only thing is i've never really played much and the only sports I play are ballet and other types of dance.
Anyone have any tips or something that can help me learn how to and play well?

I'd say go to practices and see how it goes. You can also buy a softball bat and try swinging it around in your backyard to get the hand of the swing & step motion. & If you wanted to practice your throwing theres something you can buy that you set up in your yard and it has a bouncy net on it, so when you throw the ball it comes back to you & you catch it. Its really good for learning how to catch & throw. Only tips I can give you would be to make sure you step into your swing when you swing, and step into your throw. Practice throwing/batting with your friends until you get better =] [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]
