Teach your players the skills used by top-tier Division I players and give them a competitive advantage this season!

Tim Walton (University of Florida) invites you to three days of Florida softball practice. You get total, first-person access to Walton's approach, observing not only his style, but the way he structures practice and the very specific guidance he gives his players on mechanics, strategy and more.

Everything from the players mental approach, to detailed pitching, fielding, hitting, and base running drills are covered. There is even footage of Florida's conditioning program before and after practices. This is an all-inclusive video set that leaves nothing to the imagination from the only team in SEC history to earn four consecutive Women's College World Series berths, all under Coach Walton.

This all-inclusive, six-disc set is a master-class on how to organize and run practices that build championship teams. You get to watch everything that goes on in the clubhouse, in the cages, with pitchers & catchers, base running, conditioning, playing catch, team defense, circuit work, split defense, short game, on-field BP, and more!

Disc 1:

• Coach the mechanics for hitting different pitches and pitches in specific locations
• Learn how to maximize players potential

Disc 2:

• Learn how to correct minor flaws and habits that can prevent your pitchers from being effective in the circle
• Coach pitching mechanics for specific pitches
• You will learn the importance of base running and the attention to detail required to be successful on the base paths

Disc 3:

• Cover the intricacies of base running in all situations
• Set up a wide variety of fielding stations so each player is working on the skills they need, without standing around
• Utilize unique and productive work-station drills, each one of which can be run by one coach to make the most of your resources

The base running portion of practice is followed by on-field conditioning with a full array of dynamic exercises. The practice then moves into playing catch with detailed coaching on mechanics. Following the catch portion, the players split into defensive circuit work, where different groups work on different drills simultaneously. Circuit work stations include Texas Leaguers (with a focus on communication), Drop Steps/Pop Flys, Dives, Throws on the Run, and more.

Disc 4:

• Coach the details of both infield and outfield mechanics
• Learn how to get multiple pitchers and catchers all working simultaneously
• Make sure your team knows their responsibilities on cuts and relays

Coach Walton then takes you to Day 2 of practice with pitchers and catchers working both lanes in the bullpen focusing on fastballs, counts, pitch outs, pickoffs, and intentional walks. After that, it's back into the hitting cages with Walton coaching each hitter's individual style.

Disc 5:

• Learn how to break down a player's swing with one-on-one batting practice with Coach Walton
• Learn how to field a variety of balls hit to the outfield, from grounders to balls off the fence
• See how to use different defensive plays based on the situation and the personnel on the field

From dynamic warm-ups to live, indoor batting practice and virtually every on-field skill, 3x Conference USA Championship coach Kyla Holas provides complete access to all areas of her team's practice.

Practice #1:
This practice progresses from individual drills to whole team drills. This will help you create a practice that will maximize whatever facilities you may have at your disposal. With an emphasis on doing the little things, Coach Holas takes her team through drills that cover every defensive position on the diamond, base running, tag ups, reads and leads, ground ball progressions, outfield short hops and a wide array of hitting drills that show how to attack pitches throughout the strike zone.

Practice #2:
In the second day of practice, you will discover the fundamentals and aspects of the game that the University of Houston covers in their daily practices. The offensive drills show how to improve focus and execute one plan while in the batting cage. You will learn how to provide feedback to correct hitting flaws. Defensively, the coaching staff uses the entire field to work on a specific aspects of the game: The outfielders concentrate on short hops, while the infielders work on fielding bunts and flips. Other drills simulate game situations to develop team communication.

Practice #3:
Coach Holas takes her team through an alternate warm-up to keep her athletes focused on the benefits of proper stretching and dynamic movements. Holas starts very basic with run throughs in the infield to gain proper throwing and fielding technique prior to going live off of the bat. This will show you how to break down different skills and develop muscle memory while focusing on fundamentals. The outfield focuses on picking up balls off of the fence and relays. Coach Holas combines the infield and outfield for "tweeners," which focus on communication between teammates. To conclude they brought it all together for live batting practice.

Throughout the three practices, Coach Holas describes what they're doing and why. Here you get to watch one of softball's most successful coaches guiding her players through complete practices. You not only get great insight into how to structure practice, but all the little tips, all the pointers, adjustments, corrections, and guidance throughout this 3-disc set add up to a lot of great coaching.

In this practical approach to team softball practice, Mike Estes takes you through a logical practice progression that includes throwing, infield, outfield, team defense, and base running.

Every practice ends with each player crossing home plate (with a special technique that reduces the risk of injury) to finish with a score. In between, Coach Estes leads the team through a highly organized practice that includes 20 game-ready drills, teaching and reinforcing proper movements while also making sure each player is practicing what they will actually need to do in a game.

Estes presents drills and insights into proper technique including various ready positions, short throws, flips, slingshot throws, corner bunt coverage, double plays, deep fly balls, flares, hitting the cut-off, one-hop throws from the outfield, throwing home on a do-or-die, as well as base-running footwork for lead offs, returns, and scoring.
