Does it cover the slap?

Yes. The Slap is a built-in play, and the Slap D is the coverage that defends it.

Does it work for youth softball?

Yes. Youth plays with the pitcher at 35 feet and middle school at 40, on the same 60-foot bases.

Can I draw my own plays, or only use the built-in ones?

Both. Every built-in play is a starting point you can edit, and you can draw your own.

Can my players see the plays on their phones?

Yes. Share plays with the whole team or a position group, and athletes study them in Hub on their phone.

Bunt defense

Built on fastpitch rules

The diamond is softball's: 60-foot bases, with the pitcher at 43 feet for high school and college, 40 for middle school and 35 for youth. Runners can't lead off. They leave on the pitcher's release, and every steal and first-and-third play is timed that way.

The short game, both sides of it

60 plays and coverages are ready to place. At the plate, call a Slap, a Drag bunt, a Sac bunt, 3B side, a Safety squeeze or a Suicide squeeze.

In the field, defend them with the Slap D, a Standard bunt D, a Crash or a Squeeze D, and set the infield at Corners in or Infield in.

Steals and first and third

Run a Straight steal, Delayed steal, Double steal or Steal 3rd, and decide whether 2B covers or SS covers on the throw. With runners on the corners, go with 1st & 3rd, straight or 1st & 3rd, delayed, and defend it with a Throw through, a Middle cut, a Fake to 3rd or a Pitcher cut.

Cutoffs, relays and catcher picks

Draw who cuts and who backs up on a Single to RF, R1 or a Double, right-field line. From behind the plate, the catcher has a Back-pick at 1st and a Back-pick at 3rd.

See if the runner is safe

Plays runs the play many times and shows runs and outs per rep and how often each runner is safe. On a steal you see the pitcher's time to the plate, the catcher's pop time and the runner's time. On a bunt or slap, how often it stays fair and the runner moves up.

Every player knows where to go

Snack writes each player's quiz from the play and scores it, from "Who covers second?" to "When do you go?" Share the playbook with the team, and save an opponent's looks to build a game plan for them.
