Building Speed

Believe it or not, speed is not something that you just have or you don't. Speed can be taught, and there are simple exercises you can do to become faster. Many of the games we play as children are excellent for building the explosive leg power that will help you get a good jump off the bag and fly to the next base.

  • Jump Rope
  • Play Hopscotch
  • Skip
  • Play Tag
These activities are great for helping you increase your speed and they are so much fun!
More detailed information on building speed can be found in the Fall/Winter 2005 issue of Fastpitch Forever. Copies are still available in the shopping section of this site. Check it out!
