Beginner Softball Pitching Drills

Blindly searching the internet for beginner softball pitching drills can lead you to a dead end. There is a lot of information available but some drills are not appropriate for beginners. Its possible to get results from most drills but which drills should you start with?

You can always pay for lessons but here are the problems you might encounter:

Unqualified or Inexperienced Instructor. Has this instructor every pitched or did they watch a few videos and now they are charging for their interpretation of how to pitch?
Cost of lessons. You may spend several months paying $20-$60 per session or more just to find out your daughter does not want to pitch. If your daughter only wants to pitch as a secondary position, you may spend a small fortune during her career for her to play a different position in college.
Starting new pitcher with advanced motions. There is a huge difference between a 20 year old college player that is under a strict strength training program versus a 8-10 year old girl they may or may not play other sports. If you start young pitchers with advanced motions, injury potential greatly increases which can end a career quicker than it started.

Not everyone has access to a qualified pitching instructor that won't break the bank if your new pitcher decides she does not want to pitch. So what can you do?

Here is the only online solution!

The Beginner’s Program is an eight week progressive video series of beginner softball pitching drills that teaches a system of proper mechanics and that will prepare pitchers for their first game. This program will not make you throw 60 mph or have extreme results, this is designed for young players who wish to throw strikes and be competitive in their first years of pitching. This program is designed for a pitcher who:

1.      Has never pitched before
2.      Has pitched a little but never in a game situation
3.      Has pitched one season and looking to gain more control over fastball

Here is a quick outline of the program that includes all the beginner softball pitching drills you will possibly need to learn how to pitch during the first years of kid pitch.
