Balls Fly
I am having trouble teaching my daughter how to field deep fly balls over her head (softball). she is a lefty
she has no trouble with balls hit directly toward her or in front of her but fly balls that are over her head and effected by the wind or curling.
The most important thing about catching any fly ball is to remember that it’s easier to go forward, than it is to go back. An outfielder’s first reaction on any fly ball is to start back, then move in if necessary. The best way to track a fly ball over your head, is to recognize how well the ball is hit…if you think it’s hit pretty well over your head, turn and get back quickly, then look over your shoulder, as you are moving backwards. DO NOT backpeddle. Turn & run (like a Wide Receiver would) and look over your shoulder. Get back to where the ball is heading, and move in if necessary.
If she moves well forward, maybe play a bit deeper. That takes half the moving backward out of the picture.
The best thing to do is practice. Have her stand about 10 feet in front of you. Throw fly balls over her head, to where she has to move back at least 10 to 15 feet (or more). Keep working on it, until she can go back with no problems.
Good luck!
