I play travel baseball and I have played with two girls that play baseball because they say it is more challenging than softball. I can not say which is harder for I have never played softball. I imagine it is very challenging
Tanner Simpson My dad coached both myself in baseball and my sister in softball. He said softball is harder because every single pitcher has a riser, screwball, sinker (called a dropball), changeup, curveball, and fastball. My sister said the _sport_ of fastpitch softball is harder, but the average high school baseball player is better because there's a bigger pool of players to pick from. About half the people who tried out for my high school baseball team wouldn't make it but only a few wouldn't make the softball team.
I love this video. I coach girls ages 9 and up and I'm always trying to explain to my older girls what it's going to be like to be a collegiate athlete. This video illustrates the points I'm always trying to make in a funny way. The girl dancing/cheering reminds me of my younger daughter who we always have to remind to stay focused! 😂
for batting: keep your eyes on the ball for catching/throwing: have a catch with someone, it helps for fielding: run after the ball like your life depends on it
Well I'm in seventh grade and I already had tryouts and my first game is march 1 so all I got to say is for catching,always have two hands holding the mitt,hand in the mitt and other hand squeezing it.Batting just swing like you mean it,and don't rest it on your shoulder.Hitting zone is your torso and above the knees anything above or below don't hit.And that's all hope you do good
+GianniGhost Hi there. I've been playing ball for quite a few years now and I can honestly say that the most important things is to focus. If you strikeout or miss a ball don't let it get you down. Shake it off and redeem yourself with an even better play or hit. You'll make some serious errors if you don't focus on what's going on in the moment. And another really important thing is to not get a big head. I know it's hard because I used to have one of the biggest heads, but when you get lined in the knee cap, you humble down a bit. Have confidence in yourself, but don't get bossy just becuse you think you're better than other girls. Be optimistic and I swear you'll have a fun year. Oh, and winning isn't everything, but it sure as hell is fun.
+1 because you remind me of my sister. While you're still young, you could learn a lot about softball form from TH-cam videos. Just don't watch Jennie Finch's batting, she's way too far out on her front foot.
I hate the beginning because your calves and thighs are so sore during conditioning. and the first and second week you have ice bags on you. But by the end you don't find it so hard.
I'm considering doing softball (would be my first year in softball, and in doing sports) I'm going to work very hard this summer to get in better shape for it and to practice. Any advice?
Don't ever give up! You're gonna get mad at people/ the game. But as long as your practice almost every day. You'll do great. Try to find a local batting cage, and start throwing a softball around with a friend of yours. (And do lots of lifting or just squats, planks, and long runs.)
when I do something wrong coach is ALWAYS WATCHING AND WHEN I DO SOMETHING GOOD HE IS NEVER WATCHING
WHY IS THIS SO RELATABLE?!
I know
OMG HONESTLY
ahaha so trueee
irish spring THAT IS EXACTLY ME
My batting gloves are missi- oh wait, they're underneath my sunflower seeds.
heyimbigj or there in my helmet
heyimbigj I hate when their soggy because my hands are sweaty
heyimbigj Even with my braces that’s me
omg the feels of walk up stairs after conditioning 😅
Coach: get your hands off your hips
Player: I have a cramp can I rub it!
Coach: No.
Lmao
Man i thought we were the only ones who were addicted to seeds lol like that shit literally covered our whole floor.
I try to hit the first of third basemen when I spit out mine which is every second. I LOVE seeds!
Denyse Barton I feel you
When I played Rec, they literally banned seeds.
No one cleans the fields of the public one and shells everywhere
@@jill9356 that's tough I know how it is though
OH MY GOD, why do all softball players love to eat sunflower seeds in the dugouts? Our team does that too
THERE SOOO GOOD
i’m eating sunflower seeds rn lol
My team to
That so weird I have my last game tomorrow I hope I win
personally i’ve had to much bad ones n i don’t like them anymore 😭
This is so me! Especially "This mound sucks!"
Yup I'm with yea on that! #16 Bombsquad pitcher
I usually say " that was a strike it's just that the batter is to far from the plate"
i related to this video on a personal level

Ruth Chi same 😂😂😂
Ruth Chi same

My Coach: You're killin' me, smalls!
*After hitting a batter*
She was the one who was crowding the plate...
6:33 hehehehe. Can’t get that one past meh. That’s a Pitch Perfect reference.
When the girl was talking in her head 😂I can relate in outfield
Softball is a real sport
Baseball is a watered down version of fastpitch softball.
blimpton lol you don't play baseball do you?
Watch the science behind softball and baseball on TH-cam it shows how softball is harder
I play travel baseball and I have played with two girls that play baseball because they say it is more challenging than softball. I can not say which is harder for I have never played softball. I imagine it is very challenging

This is MONEY! Gotta love college softball :)
so I'm in 7th grade and I'm trying out for Softball this May. can anyone give me advice? I've never really played softball/baseball
for batting: keep your eyes on the ball for catching/throwing: have a catch with someone, it helps
for fielding: run after the ball like your life depends on it
Ask for help from girls and your coach if youve never played maybe take a clinic or a hitting lesson :)
Well I'm in seventh grade and I already had tryouts and my first game is march 1 so all I got to say is for catching,always have two hands holding the mitt,hand in the mitt and other hand squeezing it.Batting just swing like you mean it,and don't rest it on your shoulder.Hitting zone is your torso and above the knees anything above or below don't hit.And that's all hope you do good
its fun, and not as easy as it seems but if u try hard you can do it

16 100s under 16 seconds? Piece of cake.... coming from a sprinter.
2:05 that was the dopest thing ever
I just love the seed part. so true. cx i used to eat my brothers seeds and he got mad. cx
My seeds are my luck I have never gone to my games without my seeds
Their coach is hot
.....
one of my old coaches ended up banning sunflower seeds cuz we ate them instead of cheering😭
“Did coach see that???....oh, I hope coach did not see that!” Relatable

Haha im a softball player and this is so true
That “Jeter” is sooo me. I’m number 2 and shortstop lmao

Before 5:19, when the girl did a diving catch I was like is her knee ok. Her knee looked like it hit the ground really hard
I just started softball I play left out field I back up 3rd and short stop my coach put me there cause im the fastest runner and have a strong arm
+1 because you remind me of my sister.
While you're still young, you could learn a lot about softball form from TH-cam videos. Just don't watch Jennie Finch's batting, she's way too far out on her front foot.
blimpton TRUTH! want a good batter go watch Jessica Mendoza! Watched her hit live when i was younger and i swear i met jesus
I play the same position for my High School Softball team too!
Im a Utility, I mostly play left field short stop and catcher, because of my arm
I luv the pitch perfect quote!!!
Was the last scene based off of pitch perfect 😂😂😂😂
FRESHMEN!! YOU FORGOT THE TEES!!
gotta Love a girl that says Jeter at shortstop
If I get someone out, or anyone does and it's the first out, we used to say. 1 down 2 to go 2 down 2 to go oh yeah and repeat that xD
My coach this year is my best friends mom and my best friend is on my team. So if I did something wrong my coach wouldn’t care.
4:00 - 4:09 is me when I have a game and the next day I have school
Slow-pitch players say the following: come on 22 hit a rope !! that dog will hunt !!
This is too accurate.
Love it, thinking about my 10 year old being there one day.
I say all these things, daily now 😂😂😂
The hair tie, lol all of my teammates ask me for one bruh
+6:17-6:20 story of my life. "Is this bat dead? NAH, it's good."
Haha, the bad throws xD made my day
that grunt tho
Why is this so accurate???😄😄
Why is this so relatable 😂😂😂😂
I reallyyyyyyy wanna play softball but I'd have to choose sport or work cuz I can't miss 2 practices a week, I can't decide >.
NamiKupo I would say choose which one that most interest u I'm in softball and its pretty fun
0:21 is soooo accurate
+regan lieberth -were like' Where did that ball come from? Who was supposed to catch that?'
+Amber Converse I have done that before. But really, who does have priority?
+Amber Converse you do have a very good point.
I wish I could do travel softball, but I do year round wrestling so no travel softball for this chick.
this is incredibly accurate
Awesome. Pure awesome.
PORTER IS A NAME THAT HAUNTS ME CAUSE OF SOFTBALL
Very cool so of those plays looks like it hurts
Duuuudddee....
My name is shelby!!
I hate the beginning because your calves and thighs are so sore during conditioning. and the first and second week you have ice bags on you. But by the end you don't find it so hard.
6:00 dill pickle seeds are the best seeds

all so true. this is just like my teams.
I'm considering doing softball (would be my first year in softball, and in doing sports) I'm going to work very hard this summer to get in better shape for it and to practice. Any advice?
Don't ever give up! You're gonna get mad at people/ the game. But as long as your practice almost every day. You'll do great. Try to find a local batting cage, and start throwing a softball around with a friend of yours. (And do lots of lifting or just squats, planks, and long runs.)
Loved this
too funny..got to get my tan on
I don't get the seeds though. Mayne it's because I don't know how to eat them properly I'm always choking on it or something.
this describes my travel team hahhaa
This is so true
I am in 4th and I play softball
3:47 perfect
The girl with short black hair is really cute I’m js
