• Softball is just a game, so have good sportsmanship if you win or lose!
• EVERY position is important!    
• Remember not every player can be on the field at once!
• Drink lots of water!

• When throwing the ball, think to yourself: 'C' me throw, and make a 'C' with your arm!
• When you throw, think as if you’re scooping the ball out of your glove with an ice-cream scoop, and then you flinging the ball out.  
• Practice timing the throw right, if you let go of the ball too late or too soon, it won’t go as far.

• Remember your glove is there to protect you- don't be afraid of the ball.
• When catching grounders, stay in front of them and try to stop them no matter what!
• When catching pop-flies, stay in front of them and say: "I got it!" so your teammates know to back you up.
• When a teammate near you is catching a ball, back them up!

• When batting, it’s important to hit the ball, so think of it as something you really hate and swing!
• Try to find the pitcher's 'style' of pitching, and be ready!
• Also, try to find the umpire’s ‘style’, so you know what will be a ball or a strike.
• Try to read the letters of the ball as it goes by (FOCUS!)
• DO NOT SWING AT SOMETHING YOU CAN'T HIT!

• When pitching, pretend you’re in a bubble and can't hear anything, that way you can stay focused!
• On some occasions, it’s ok to let the batter hit the ball; the fielders are there for a reason!
• Don’t put too much pressure on yourself!
• Be ready to cover home plate if necessary!
• Especially when it comes to pitching- PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

• When catching, stay alert and try stop the ball no matter what!
• Remember when you need to cover home plate!
• Make sure you are quick to receive a ball that has passed you!
• Drinking plenty of water it very essential; wearing all that gear is important, but it must make things really hot!

• Stay ready when in the infield. You've got to be ready to catch or throw the ball, so be aware of your surroundings!
• Make sure you know your plays!
• Back eachother up!
• Make sure you know when to cover the bags and when to be a cut-off!

• In the out field, look alive! You need to get the ball before the other team scores!
• Make sure your teammates know when you are retreiving the ball, so that they can back you up!
• Back up the infielders!
• Back up the other outfielders!
• Look for the cut-off when you receive the ball!
