D. Lesson proper
Now, let’s tackle about the basic
skills of softball. There are 5 basic
skills. These are throwing, catching,
pitching, batting and base running.
Let’s discussed first the throwing.
Kay can you please read the
definition.
throwing is most basic skills in softball/
baseball. It allows the team to prevent their
opponent from touching bases or even
earning points or runs.
Thank you. Skilled throwing is the
key for every position on defensive.
Having a strong arm is crucial to
making accurate long throws.
There are elements of throwing:
these are grip, wind- up delivery and
follow-through.
(demonstrate on this elements)
Everyone, please stand up and let’s
do the throwing.
Imagine that you hold the ball and
follow me.

(the learners follow me)

Did you get it?
yes ma’am.
Okay let’s proceed to pitching, Ella,
please read.
Pitching is a skill that puts the game to play.
It is performed by pitcher, one of the key
players in baseball/softball who stay at the
 center of the playing field called diamond.
Thank you. Pitching is the most
important skill. It is different from
throwing because it is done in an
underhand motion. Like this
(demonstrate the pitching)

Please stand up and let’s do the

pitching. Imagine that you hold the
ball and follow me.
yes ma’am
Okay one more. (demonstrate)

(the learners follow)

Excellent class!
Now let’s move on to catching.
Geter please read the definition of
catching
This is a defensive skill used to receive a
thrown ball and hold a base runner or batter
from proceeding or preventing them from
earning a point or a run.
Thank you. Just like throwing,
catching is another crucial defensive
skill, no matter what position you
play on the field. In the outfield, you
have to be especially good at
catching high-fly ball. In the infield,
you have to be able to catch short
throws from another infielder’s
especially at first base. The position
where catching is most important is
aptly named catcher. There in a
squat, you have to catch fast pitch
from your pitcher.
Okay everyone stands up and let’s
do the catching.
Imagine that I hold a ball, I will be
going to throw and you need to
catch, okay. I count 1 to 3 and you
need to catch.
1 2 3 catches.
(the learner catch the ball)
Very good!
Lorna come in front and act as a
catcher and imagine that I throw the
ball to you.
(Lorna come and act as a catcher)
Okay 1,2,3 catch
(Lorna catch the ball)

Awesome!
Next is batting
Lovely please read.
This is an offensive skill used to strike the
pitched ball using a bat done to advance to
the bases and eventually leading to earning
a point or a run.
Thank you Lovely.
This skill is all about your ability to
make contact with the ball while
hitting. To hit the ball or to be a
consistently good hitter takes timing,
hand-eye coordination and
confidence before swing the bat.
I will demonstrate to you on how to
bat.
Imagine that you hold a bat
 First position your feet should be 1-2
meters wide, bend your knees, grip
the bat position your hands into the
bat 1 o’clock, eyes on the ball, twist
your hip and swing. Okay
One more time (demonstrate)
Stand up and follow me
(learners follow me)
fabulous!
And last is base running or running.
Angelica please read.
This is a very important skill. You need to
master because it allows you to advance
from one base to the other with full speed
and agility safely.
Thank you, Angelica.
The last of the five is the simplest:
running, this applies to both offense
and defense, the only tool that does.
Running especially applies to
outfielders on defense, as they have
to cover more ground to get the
balls. It is especially important on
offense when running the base.
Being fast is a huge advantage,
leading to more hits and runs. I
know that all of you know how to
run. The important here is speed and
agility.
E. Generalization
