- This video covers how to slide into a bag. Towards the end of the video, I will show a couple progression drills you can do to ease into sliding and will also cover how to do the "pop up" slide..

I play 12U softball, and for years, I've never been able to slide. I've tried and tried and I gave up hope until I found this video. I have my mind set on practicing sliding, until I get it right. Thank you for video! ❤️
You got this! Keep at it
Someone the other day at my softball game broke her ankle sliding into home, figured I should probably make sure I know what I’m doing lol, thanks for the video!
I'm in highschool softball right now and I broke my shin a few years ago sliding and since then I can never bring myself to do it again, so it's really sucked. This was on my fyp and it's like TH-cam was reading my mind
Oh wow! Well, I hope this was helpful and helps ease you back into it!
Same thing happened to me instead I broke everything in my right leg and ankle
@@Brisc5 Oh my gosh!! I just imagine how that felt!! 😢
@@FeetfinderOFFICIAL it was so crazy! I didn’t feel anything at first till one of the coaches was feeling around. Once he hit that one spot all the pain came rushing.
Also my last name is also Briscoe!!
Oh that’s so cool, we do have the same last name! Also I’m so paranoid of sliding even though I have never had an experience of hurting my self !!
I watched a few videos on sliding, but none had the depth and clear explanations of this. Thanks for doing this Meg! My daughter will benefit.
Thank you, Peter! I'm glad it was helpful.
Thanks Megan for the sliding tip.i watched this vid because tommorow is my first day at soft ball practice
Hi Meg, this was a very simple and efficient demonstration. I'm a new coach and I think this is the best explanation I've seen, to teach my 11 year olds! Great job!
Thank you, Neil! Glad it has helped.
I saw this video and tried this with my girls yesterday and it was the best idea ever!!! They now have confidence to slide in dirt
Makes me happy to hear! Glad it was helpful
Wow, what a great video. I've been playing baseball for almost 40 years and been coaching Little League for several. I've tried all sorts of sliding drills and watched countless videos, but still about half the boys (including my son) have a problem with tucking their bent leg under itself (which could easily result in injury). I am so glad I found this video, there's not a better instructional on TH-cam. After about two minutes on the first step, my boy (who until 10 minutes ago was scared to slide) is now driving me nuts trying to do pop up slides on a mat in the kitchen. Thank you very much!!!
Haha I love this!! So glad it’s helpful.
Great progression demo, starting at 4:13. Very useful!
Thank you!
Every single time I try to slide I can't because I always get inside of my head and I'm in all-stars right now we have to do sliding ALOT! Thank you for teaching me!
You betcha! You got this!!
Also appreciated this video as I'm a head first slider and this softball league is feet first only. I'm a soccer player as well and I usually tackle the base, so watching this has helped me remember the basics and not slide tackling the base or someone.
❤😊
I fell like all your videos have made me a better softball player thank you so much for your help!!
So glad to hear this!
I have a 10 year old that broke her left wrist last fall with poor sliding techniques. Good video. Getting on the slip and slide this weekend!
This video is sooo helpful, i've never been able to slide due to panicing, this video allowed me to be able to slide in 30 mins.
Love to hear this!
Great vid. One of the better sliding videos.
Thank you!
EXACTLY what I was looking for. This is a great video for beginning sliders and I have been looking through everything out there. Thank you so much. Can't wait to try it with my players!
Glad to hear this!
I am watching this before I go to school. I have my first softball practice this year. We have to learn how to slide this year
I’m in 14U and never got taught how to slide. This helped
Thank you this helped so much!!
Thank you so much for making this video! I slid at my last game and I ended up scraping my knee because I slid incorrectly.
hey meg you've been such a big help to me i could never get my body to slide i guess but i was sliding on my hardwood floor lol while watching you video step by step and now i think i can kinda do it lol
You got this!
@@MegRemSoftball thank you 💛🥎
Can you do a video on head first sliding and when to go head first and the benefit of sliding head first
That’s diving
I been trying to slide for awhile and I could never do it but watch this and other has help me a lot thanks Meg
Makes me happy to hear! Once you get the hang of it, it becomes so fun.

Out of Los Angeles California 👍🏾🥎🔥🙏🏾
Thank you once again
I love it!😍
This video is great, I’ve always been a head first ever since 11u and heading into 15u I wanted to try normal sliding since it is quite painful sliding headfirst
With a feet first slide, you can also do a pop up slide if you need to continue to the next base quickly.
I am terrified to slide i have never done it and it is my third year thank you it made me a lot more comfortable with it.
Love to hear it!
Meg, I loved this video it is really helping me ease into sliding I’ve been playing for a few years now and I just joined a travel team and I’m super excited to be confident in my sliding to be able to do it in games + tournaments! Do you have a video on diving back to the base?
Love to hear it! I don't have a video yet on diving back but will soon
Thanks Megan great skills
Can wait to work with my daughter
Thank you!
Thanks bc my coach didn't even teach us how to and we have a game today
Just moved to 10 u and I have never slid before thanks!
I love it
Can you do a video about diving back to base ? Your videos are so helpful to my 10u travel player. She is learning how to do this but could use some extra tips.
So good
thank you so much
I’m in high school I was never taught to slide as a kid and now we are learning I’m hoping this video helps me
I can slide on grass super easily but struggle a lot on dirt, I’m going to try this out right now (Edit:) I just tried it and I was able to slide for the first time on dirt!! Thank you so so much
Love to hear this!👏🏼
Coach Meg, Where can I get a mat and slide screen cover?
5:40 and 6:53 this is just a time stamp for me
Great video! I also slide a little to one side but I’m seeing videos that say equal on each cheek but hat seems a little awkward!
That hurts! Haha
I agree! Good job with the videos.@@MegRemSoftball
Thek you 🤩
Got a question Coach where could I get one of those mats at there awesome.
Schutt Sports!
After 8+ years of comp softball and I still suck azz at sliding, jacked up my legs yesterday from sliding and I have my first home game of the season tomorrow💀 I gotta slide right or else I'mma really feel it😭
If you want to see an injury that will motivate you to slide better my leg will definitely help lmfao
you got this!
Where do you get the mat from the first clip of you sliding?
The brand is Schutt Sports
What are you sliding on? Looks like a netting on top of the mat? I always struggle trying to find something to teach sliding. I like that is padded with low friction.
It's a Schutt Slide Rite mat
I remember my coach in highschool having a sliding practice in a downpour and we slid in the mud.
@@MegRemSoftball it’s a little over $300 this sliding Mat 😔 what could be a better alternative?
Ty
@@Gavinxxx80 Cardboard laid flat! Just make sure they slide with socks and no shoes.
@@MegRemSoftball perfect! Thank you 😊
What do you recommend wearing so you don't tear up your skin
Sliding shorts and pants!
Thx so. Much meg because I have a game and I have to side witch I never have so thx agian
Good luck!
@@MegRemSoftball thx
How do you make this a link I’m watching this vid for softball and I want to put the link of this video in the essay that I have to right
I think you can just copy and paste!
@@MegRemSoftball thankyou
Where do they sell those mats
Schutt Sports
What is that u are sliding on just a black mat
It's Schutt Sports brand
@@MegRemSoftball do you know where to pick one up at? I can't find it anywhere 😫
Where are your leggings from? Love them
I got from a long time ago from Nordstrom. The brand is Zella
I was giving up because of couldn't slide and I was the only one on my team not able to slide
Same
5:42
longo
Is it just me or do y'all think ur gonna brake ur knee or something and u go for a drive then when u dived ur like o I could have slipped
great tutorial but why do you always state 'girls' when boys will want to do this aswell?
Because my channel is called megrem softball and I gear it towards softball players. Baseball players can use it too
My sister did that and she quit
You're teaching how to get raspberry on your leg and j your wrist. Put your hands up like a rollercoaster. Lay back and slide evenly on your butt and back. No more nasty bloody rasbe.....
