How do you increase your speed in regards to fast pitch softball?

My daughter is 13, and plays rec and competitive fast-pitch softball. She plays awesome defense, and is a decent hitter, but she could use some work on her running speed. What kinds of drills could help out with this? Or should I enlist the help of a personal trainer?|||well running in general will help, but the most helpful thing is timing! getting off the bag at the earliest LEGAL time will definately make up for a slow runner! so will your confidence





i play softball and i gotta say im not that fast, im decent but not particularly fast. I definately would say that im a great base runner becuase im smart about it. i get off the bag quick and i get almost half way to the other bag. i promise that if your daughter does that she'll be able to steal and make it often|||Okay I play for a JV team and this is how it rolls


1) Get an old car tire


2)Get a piece of string and tie it around the tire then make a lupe big enough to go around your daughters waist


3)Have her run on a flat surface with the tire rolling beside her if it falls she is running unbalanced


4)It teaches balance,speed, %26amp; strength|||get your arm stronger.
