Patty Gasso opens up her softball drill library and delivers 24 fast and challenging drills that will stretch your team defense. These infield and outfield drills are designed to improve players' fielding skills, range, footwork and conditioning.
WARM UP DRILLS
In this working warm up, Gasso demonstrates a
five drill warm up circuit. Before taking the field, she demonstrates drills
that include a weighted glove reaction drill, slide board leg work, and several
wall ball drills.
On the field, Gasso demonstrates two team warm up drills: Around the World
and Touch & Go. Around the World doubles as a warm up and conditioning drill
for both infielders and outfielders. The Touch & Go drill works on creating
athleticism and maximizing the players' range.
These drills will energize your team and set the tone for practice.
INFIELD DRILLS
Gasso runs her players through eight Infield Drills.
These multifaceted drills work players all around the infield focusing on range,
glove work, footwork, short hops, sliding with the throw, throwing on the run
and more.
OUTFIELD DRILLS
The Outfield Drills include nine drills that
work on becoming efficient in the outfield. These drills fine-tune all ares
of outfield defense, including footwork, fielding ground balls with the forehand
and backhand, throwing to bases, hitting relays and recovering from bad throws,
playing the ball off the wall, taking good angles to the ball and going hard
to get the out in foul territory.
Coach Gasso has molded the University of Oklahoma softball program into a national
power. She has placed herself among the elite college softball coaches in the
country, winning over 700 games at Oklahoma - and these drills play a large
part in her success. This DVD is a must for coaches looking to take their athletes
to new heights.
