Associate Director Georgia High School Association "There is a ton of information out there, but I couldn't really tell what was good and what was just selling. Someone recommended softball excellence as a sight for information. I checked it out and have done all the eclinics and bought several hard back books and drills. You are very good at explaining this wonderful sport. You put it all in common sense terms and use video and pictures very well. - Thanks again!" - Dee Swartz

Ive attended many coaching clinics with the likes of Bob Knight, Coach K., Rick Pitino, Doug Collins, Larry Brown, and I have to say that your thoughts and philosophies were every bit as insightful, valuable, and entertaining as were these coaching legends. Thank you also for all that you do and have done for the great game of fastpitch softball and our athletes." - Mike Maguire

Front Toss vs. Side TossBy: Cindy BristowEver wonder which one’s better for your hitters – Soft Toss or Front Toss? If so then read on to learn which one could help your team improve their hitting the most Front toss is just a better version of soft toss. In soft toss, the tosser is to the side of the hitter tossing either up and down or in a straight line toss. While this does help the hitter get swings it isn't very game–like since pitches don't come from the side – they come from the front. And, they aren't looped – they're straight. So, front toss is basically soft toss from in front of the hitter with the tosser behind a screen, if you have one, and if not, then use whiffle balls. The tosses are straight (versus looped) but don't have to be real fast. You can start them medium speed and work up in speed as your hitters get better. When you're front tossing you'll be between 6 and 10 feet in front of the hitter either standing and tossing underhand or sitting on a bucket and tossing underhand.
