How to play softball
How to play softball - you will need a bucket of balls, a bat, and a couple of gloves that fit your hand snugly, but not too tight. You will have to work with your glove to make it flexible and you might want to keep a softball in the glove while you aren\'t using it so that it will keep its shape.
When you are on the field, infield, or outfield, you have to keep your eyes on the ball, the batter, the pitcher and runners. Cheer your pitcher on! There are a bunch of types of pitches. Some of them are: windmill and a regular pitch. If you want to know how to play softball, learn to do windmill, you have to spin your arm in a circle.
