You don’t need a lot of fancy equipment to get a great softball workout, and you can do much more than run on a softball field. Here is a quick workout you can do in the dugout to help build total body strength, speed and coordination. The exercises use the bench in the dugout or bleachers as plyo boxes for a quick, full-body softball workout for your entire team.

Do a proper warm-up; everyone should be sweating by the end. Perform the exercises in order and always do Crunches last before stretching.

Split the team into two groups to make sure everyone has enough room to do the exercises safely.
