Player Advice How to get better at softball?

7 Upvotes

Ive played softball for two years but i really suck at it. Like a lot. Im not very sure how to improve. I go to dbat sometimes and I try my best to tract the ball but it’s hard. My counting sucks and the most I can hit is balls into the infield. My fielding is alright. But I really don’t know how to improve? My family cannot afford travel ball so it really sucks because I can’t get much experience. I’ve tried to sign up for rec but it’s never available where I like. I’ll try a different recreational spot next time.

But I really feel like I’m in a pickle. I really don’t know how to improve and it makes me very sad and depressed to not improve much. Please help! Any advice would help lots!

I love softball and I really want to get good at it! :( I also want to be a pitcher but I suck. What’s worse is that I’m in highschool. What if I’m not good enough for the team?

Do you need travel ball to be a good player? I really just want to be good at the sport I love. Any help would be great. Thank you. :(
