Softball Birthday (1887)
-- Softball originated in Chicago on Thanksgiving Day. A group of about twenty young men had gathered in the gymnasium of the Farragut Boat Club in order to hear the outcome of the Harvard-Yale football game. After Yale's victory was announced (18-7) and bets were paid off, a man picked up a stray boxing glove and threw it at someone, who hit it with a pole. George Hancock, usually considered the inventor of softball, shouted, Let's play ball!
Read: Coach's Guide to Game-Winning Softball Drills
-- Two-time Olympic gold medalist and Hall of Fame pitcher Michele Smith throws one right down the middle with this big collection of more than 250 skill-building drills developed especially for coaches of fast-pitch recreation league, travel ball, and high school softball players, ages eight to eighteen. Straight from the Michele Smith Gold Camps and Clinics, these drills are designed to give you all the tools you need to teach the entire range of offensive and defensive softball skills.
Wilson Series Softball
-- Wilson Baseballs and Softballs are the preferred choices of more than 40 collegiate conferences. Polycore softballs don't break down as quickly; giving you unmatched durability that can't be beaten. 20% higher seams give pitchers extra control on the mound while fielders can locate the ball quicker and throw more accurately.
