Infielders Goals

1. Consistently make the play at you. The great play will take care of itself.

2. Pre-program every pitch. Anticipate based on the situation.

3. Learn how to "catch & throw". If you cannot "play catch", you will have a hard time in softball.

4. No frills. Do not be fancy. Do not force anything. Don't play to impress - play hard.

5. No extra throws. Don't put runners into scoring positions or give away runs.

6. Know the hitter. Her tendencies, where she likes to hit, whether she drag - bunt, etc.

7. Master all bunts plays and first & third plays. Work hard on the timing with every pitcher on your team. If the timing is off, it should no be the pitcher's fault.

8. Communicate on coverages, be verbal on pop-ups, relays, double plays, steals, pick-offs, etc.

9. Field your position. Practice the fundamentals every day - slow rollers, short hops, ground balls, double play, tags, relays, etc.

Always try to be better than you are and never settle for anything less.
