How To Steal A Base In Softball

When the pitcher starts her motion, you'll want to rock back with her as her arm is going back. When she is close to the top of her motion, you'll want to start to get your momentum going towards the base you want to steal. As she is on her down motion (about 3/4 of the way down), you'll start to push with your front foot so when the pitcher releases, your foot will be off the bag.
Starting in the front or back is the athlete's preference.
