Dynamic Softball Pitching Workouts
With Kyla Holas, University of Houston Head Coach;
holds the most wins in Conference USA history;2x Conference USA Coach of the
Year; 4x Conference USA champions; 3x All American at Louisiana-Lafayette
Kyla Holas presents a series of pitching workouts and the various options within
them that will get your pitchers in top form for the start of the season.
Coach Holas begins by discussing how she plans pitching workouts using a
calendar and working backwards, while keeping in mind her objectives for the
pitching staff. From there, she is able to plan out her practices and track the
number of pitches her pitchers throw each day and each week to ensure they will
be at their best for every game.
Coach Holas discusses the six types of pitching workouts.
• Accuracy
• Fundamentals
• Movement
• Speed
• Drills
• Conditioning
For each workout, Coach Holas starts in the classroom and describes each drill.
She then moves to the field and has one of her pitchers perform the drills and
activities.
To explain the drills, Coach Holas has her pitcher demonstrate. The drills use
items such as a balance beam, balance board, foot box, Power Drive, poles,
cones, and tees. She also discusses the contents of a bucket that she gives to
each of her pitchers at the beginning of the year. The bucket includes thirteen
items such as balls of different size and weight, a Frisbee, football, sock
ball, double ball, spinner, towel, and more.
All in all, Coach Holas introduces over 30 drills and demonstrates 20 items and
pieces of equipment that she uses in her pitching workouts.
This DVD will be a valuable resource for coaches at all levels looking to find
better workouts to fully develop their pitching staff.
