10 Best Softball Drills for 7-8 Year Olds | Fun Youth Softball Drills from the MOJO App

-----
Softball and baseball players practice in the same way to improve their skills -- and it's no different when it comes to softball practice drills for 7 and 8 year olds.

Hitting a softball is one of the most difficult tasks in all of sports. That’s why softball players practice hitting at just about every practice.

These 10 fun softball drills are kid-friendly — and coach approved. Whether players are hitting, fielding, pitching or throwing, they will learn about proper form and, eventually, how to knock the season out of the park.

Here are the drills in order:
:06 Four Corners
1:25 Two Ball
2:36 Hit the Helmet
3:44 Basepath Blitz
5:17 Kneeled It
6:12 Throwing Seeds
7:22 Trust Catch
8:21 Bunting Bonanza
9:46 Go the Distance
10:55 Pitcher’s Poison

The drills themselves are great, BUT, the kids in the videos are clearly not 8u and therefore would be way more difficult for them to complete!

Thanks for this!! My niece just started softball for the first time this season, after spending the last couple years training/competing in jiu-jitsu, since age 5.

Just a tip for parents, I'd recommend getting your young children in jiu-jitsu before they start any other team sport. It helped lay a foundation, it's been HUGE for her... & after competing vs boys bigger than her, trying to choke her out, softball hasn't been nearly as overwhelming as it would be, had she started with softball first... Her first practice, she said "much easier than jiu-jitsu!" 😅

She had been through a lot for a 5 year old, at that point. Her father is doing 15 years in prison, she hasn't seen him since she was 3 years old.

I appreciate your videos!

Just signed up for my daughters 8u softball starts in a week. Wish me luck

This title is very misleading. The players are CLEARLY not 7-8, and clearly aren't using softballs, which are bigger and heavier to throw. Sure some of these drills you can alter to work for a 7-8 softball team but with the title you have you shouldn't have to alter anything.

Whey would you show a video for 7-8 year olds and then do drills for older kids?

[Viajero]

Title is misleading. The kids in the video are older than 7-8 yrs old and playing baseball not softball.

[violetjames]

Those kids aren’t 7 & 8 years old. 😂

[brettpedigo]

Please change the title. It is misleading. Thanks!

[ajhunt]

This is ridiculous for 7-8 year olds. They are using 12 years olds

[ChrisSmith]

A FEW of these drills are realistic for 8u GIRLS but just a FEW. A little misleading.
