Slapping and Small Game Training

 

Because the game of Fastpitch Softball is played on a field with bases paths on 60 Feet in dimension, the game is one of Speed. This is where the importance of the Slapping and Small Ball skill set plays such a prominent role. Players who posses speed put extra pressure on the other team’s defense. Forcing them to make quick decisions in fielding and throw balls. This extra pressure causes defenses to commit errors, allowing for base runners and runs to be scored.

The ability to skilfully execute any of the following Small Ball and Slapping techniques makes you as a player an extremely valuable asset.
