FASTPITCH SOFTBALL · 8U–12U
Youth softball practice plans that teach the entire game.
A softball plan needs more than a baseball schedule with a new label. Build receiving, throwing, fielding, baserunning and game choices around your specific fastpitch league rules and pitcher/catcher experience.

90-minute youth softball session.
Adjust for 8U, 10U and 12U abilities. Pitching and receiving work requires trained adult instruction and appropriate gear.
Move, shuffle and throw with short, accurate partner tosses.
Forehand/backhand picks, stationary first then moving.
Ground-ball coverage, force decisions and backup responsibilities.
Separate protected hitting stations from basepath reads.
Rotate roles across infield, outfield and coaching callouts.
Celebrate two smart team decisions and one skill to repeat.
Underhand pitching and catcher development need qualified supervision. Do not substitute baseball overhand pitch-count charts for softball rules.
Base paths, pitching circles, stealing and dropped-third-strike rules vary by division. Adapt stations to your league’s regulations.
Make a version for your team.
Choose softball in Coach’s Clipboard, set your age and priority, then print your practice.
