Conditioning Question?????

[TheBucketeer]

Along the lines of what Gentleman Jack is referring to, at our practices we like to set up the Jugs machine about 20 feet in front of the girls and shoot line drives at them at about 80 miles an hour. This gets their cardio work in and lets us practice on the 5 D's of Defense:

Dodge
Duck
Dive
Dip
Dodge

Just remember...Fastpitch Softball is a sport of violence, exclusion and degradation.

For 12U conditioning it is important to also work on coordination. I would implement a lot of ladders, hurdles, cone work, jump rope and quick short burst sprints. Most 12U girls are still small and can run distances, however when I implement these coordination excercises the girls have fun and enjoy conditioning more often.

If this is who I think it is.. I have seen your batting practice and it is second to NONE. Great mechanics, strength, endurance and more importantly control. Much props!! I heard u practice the 14's and the 16's together and the conditioning is on point. I would like to watch a practice if it is OK>
