[@kaydani5520]

[@hayleighratliff4579]

I'm a freshmen in high school, 14 years old, and never had experience. I want to play but I'm nervous, should I join??

[@natalie6890]

Hayleigh Ratliff this is me right now!! i really want to join but im shy and i dont know what to do

[@hayleighratliff4579]

Natalie Ordonez I ended up joining and it is really fun!! You should totally do it!!!

[@hayleighratliff4579]

Natalie Ordonez if it's something you want to do you should join

[@natalie6890]

I want to but im shy. What if people judge me for not knowing what to do :(

[@hayleighratliff4579]

Natalie Ordonez I thought the same thing but my team mates ended up being really nice and supportive even tho ive never played before and my coaches are as well!

[@zilahatakerhyne]

[@alexiatisho1325]

Abby G. Exactly how I am 😭 I'm wondering if it be to late bc even 8 year olds know how to play better than me 😂 I ain't never played before

[@laurenelizabeth9273]

I sighed up and I barely know any thing about it good thing there are KZbin videos

[@amberbrown7195]

This video is really going to help me this year in softball!

[@sunitas831971]

This video is indeed fantastic for all necessary first hand information about softball.

[@omarsalahe25]

We're taking softball in our P.E sessions in school, this helped me a lot, thx :D

[@macybagocius8177]

I have had an interest of playing softball i have played soccer for 3 years and i have wanted to try something new this is a very informational video it taught me alot thank you !!!!

[@awesomethejammer2157]

This video really helps because I might going my local team and I just wanted to see if there is anything that I didn't know.

[@sshelget]

I started playing softball when I was 9. I am now 47 and still play ball. I played fast pitch as a youth and both fast and slow pitch in my 20s and 30s. Eventually my fast pitch team disassembled in my 30s and since then I've only played co-ed slow pitch. What's very sad is seeing my skill deteriorate as I've aged. :( My brain still knows how to throw, catch, and bat, but my muscles just don't work the same. Very depressing because I love the game.

[@tomfieselmann5906]

+sshelget I just turned 60 and play third base. Long ago I decided that since I couldn't keep my muscle mass, I would just maintain flexibility - and that's what's worked over the years. Hit 4/5 our last game, one hot grounder for a sweet double play, and scored three runs, and regularly get those line drives still at third even at my age. [I admit to one error, but that's okay...] I have several exercises that help quickness, concentration, and those leg muscles... Keep up your game if at all possible. It's a great pleasure at 60. I hope to play till 65, then quit with a big party for everybody on the team, and re-start chorus till near the end. I've always loved baseball of any kind.

[@summerearth1221]

Sooo helpful! Thanks! : D now I'm confident to tryout for my schools softball team !

[@TravisAllTheWayBaby]

I've been playing softball for a month and I love it.in a game against san juan the pitcher almost broke my elbow from her pitch she also hit me in my thigh. Our First game I slided into home wrong but I still got it. It messed me up. Scars and blood but it was worth it

[@R6ex]

Excellent video! Despite being put up so long ago, its still very informative and easy to understand. Thanks!

[@theesleepykid]

No no its not to late because I know nothing about the sport and i'm 14 and I just joined a couple days ago

[@gracehaischer8598]

theesleepykid OMGTHATS ME AND MY FRIEND RIGHT NOW

[@shesrisen3512]

Thank you so much I really understand the fundamentals of this game now

[@haleyflanary7260]

I have a game today so this helps a lot

[@anizah1532]

this video really helped me understand the game more. I am considering playing for my school.

[@MissLouTxx]

you throw it to wear the runner is heading. and in your position. if the runner is on 1st base then you have to touch your own base to get them out cos they are running to 2n base. if they had just hit the ball, you throw it to 1st base cos they are running there. if they are on your base when you catch the ball you can throw it to the 3rd base before they get there, or you can tag your own base before they reach 3rd base. they like to sneak so tagging your own base is easier. i play softball:)

[@melodiebryceland9733]

This is a great video to explain about the game of softball. It is extremely explicit and detailed with images and diagrams that support the explanations. It is a shame the footage is a little broken. Is there anything that can be done about this?

[@mackenziemartin2548]

Thx so much I needed this video!!!

[@nadipalliappalasrinivasara9706]

give more fundamentals about this game. this video very helpful to those are do not know about softball

[@saraflower930]

this video just taught me softball like my school is stated a new semester of sport and if i chose to play than I would save the whole team so i was kind of pressured then my first training we were taught catching then the next practice was with everyone and the newbies new nothing but how to catch and that was useless cos we were only batting:-)

[@anip9911]

this helps a lot thanks

[@FrancescaPedersen]

This really helped. Thanks!

[@arianaarnold5152]

Very very very helpful. Can you make more instructional videos??? Thanks!!! :)

[@jocelynsegovia5591]

[@iluvdance888]

[@jinglejanglers7656]

Rounders for adults?

[@haiggoh]

So... this is basically baseball, right?

[@kellyreynoldsreynolds1260]

I love softball its my life

[@yamkelazoko3196]

[@MrAwesomeLuisreal]

what if im 13 and never have played a game or can't catch the ball without blinking. haha i truly have a horrible life where i can't even join a sport for reasons. and now i think it's to late anyway.

[@gabrielleelizabeth4349]

MrAwesomeLuis I'm starting at 15, it's never too late

[@gabrielleelizabeth4349]

MrAwesomeLuis just realized that was four years ago whoops

[@NeverEndingKarla]

If you have a player on a base and batter hits the ball but its caught, does the player on the base have to run back to their base before they throw it to their base? Sounds confusing sorry.

[@mrBIEBOBTHANGO]

always throw to the base that is dangerous for a point against u!

[@101Kristii]

one thing im really confused about is, how do u know where to throw the ball to, after you've caught it? Like, do i throw it to 1rst base, or 3rd base, if im on 2nd ? Someone please explain ! :(

[@amslime8481]

you throw to 1 then they will fire to 3

[@rkckl99]

@karastar22 it will be one of the best things you ever do :) i love it

[@katieparis3022]

Everyone says I have a good arm. My sister said i should do Softball or Baseball. Idk if i should. I've never played on a sports team before.

[@kathrynchapman5218]

is starting when your 18 to late? i feel like im to old to start playing now :/

[@Antichrist-rv8et]

this one has subtitles allredy on it!

[@amaryeventer4580]

This helped alot

[@karastar22]

I am gonna try out

[@lisago2]

you throw it to 3rd base, if not the pitcher.

[@lovemusic12398]

wait... so wut does the out field do???

[@CoachGruber]

Catch fly balls, field groudballs or line drives that make it through the infield, and are part of the offense. They are the last line of defense that keep runners from advancing too far. By far, the infield is where most of the action is, but the OF is very important.

[@_moneymk]

catch balls

[@jupiterscrybabyy]

catch fly balls

[@stephanieallen3176]

well you cant expect the ball to only stay in the in field area

[@rosyli4947]

LnYpE ShiNe i think its when the ball goes out of the field so one of them have to catch it...or something

[@827kmf]

@NeverEndingKarla Yes, that is what happens. ;) It isn't very confusing.

[@Antichrist-rv8et]

it's like baseball with a lot diferences

[@4Asloan]

Yes,

[@GothamProjectable]

It depends on where the runner is...

[@shelbiearrington17]

I've been playing since I was 5 and this is not new to me
