Learning how to slide is so essential for softball especially because you never know when the situation might occur that you neeed to slide to score or to be safe in a base but I just started playing softball and my coaches barely touch up on it in practices they just tell us to slide but don’t tell me how and I always do I wrong because I WAS NEVER TAUGHT and then during the games I WILL NOT SLIDE bc when I slide I tend to “helicopter” and not “airplane” so I don’t want to look dumb but then I get yelled at for not sliding 😐

One of the best tutorials I've seen with lots of correct information! One consideration when running through 1B... after passing the bag, turn your head right so you can see an overthrown ball missed by F3 (the first baseman), but don't pivot right and turn your back to 2B. Instead, pivot left so your body is facing 2B. This will allow a move to 2B to be much quicker because you don't have to turn around to start running. In reality, an overthrown ball will be on the ground in foul territory long before the runner can come to a stop and pivot. Practicing a clockwise pivot will create a bad habit. Practice a counterclockwise pivot instead. A minor point, but in this game the details matter! 😀
@dogpatch75 Жыл бұрын
It is important to understand and practice good technique in order to use every advantage that is available to you. Especially important is knowing the difference between an "attempt" toward 2B and "returning directly to 1B". Here is a great explanation of technique that is used at the highest levels of the game. (There is no difference in baseball and softball when it comes to the best technique in overrunning 1B). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/epdojbN6qNzXiok.html Here is the difference in "making an attempt" and "returning directly" from the umpire's point of view (again, no difference in the rule in baseball or softball at any level): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l655lNNn0Ke4paM.html 🙂

You don’t want your hands up like that Bc then the basemen doesn’t need to sweep your leg they can tag your arms
@mariahgrace18224 жыл бұрын
That’s actually now true because they’ll be behind the back corner of the bag. So if they were to tag you the only way they could do that is if they were within the baseline, which they’re not allowed to do, and for them to tag your arms your legs would already be touching the base so you would be safe so yes you can keep your arms up trust me I play softball.

Crazy cat Playz Softball and baseball don’t have the same rules? They’re talking about softball. Oh and when your in a pickle yes your aloud to be in the baseline but I was talking about if you just need to slide cause they throw the ball where your trying to run.

@mariahgrace18224 жыл бұрын
Crazy cat Playz Technically were both right I guess I don’t know if it’s just in softball but I always slide with my arms up.The reason you could still slide with your arms is because if it’s a grounder your post to run up to it so they would be running up to the ball while you would be sliding so you would be on base and if It was a over throw shortstop or center will back them up but if shortstop misses it and center needs to get it center’s usually kinda back so you would already be at 2nd by then but if shortstop gets it and they throw it to throw it to 2nd go back to first but I don’t know that’s just my opinion.
