Base running is an essential part in softball. It can be an easy advance in base for teams with fast baserunners which can eventually be a run converted. Before drills can be done make sure your running mechanics are correct. Simple change in mechanics can increase your running speed. Proper arm swing, surface contact and stride length adjustment may help. Make sure also that you are taught the proper way to run around the bases and know the ready position on base prior to the pitch. Rounding the bases of having to increase the running curve before the base will help the runners not to decelerate when running. Check out the link for more tips

What are some good softball drills to increase my base running speed?
Do running drills in general. The more running you do, the faster you will become. Also running stairs or hills will help you increase your speed. I was able to get from home to first in 2.65 seconds, and I did a lot of running drills with my teams. Do liners, shuffles, shuttle runs, and squats to increase your leg strength. Also make sure that you are hitting the inside corner of the bag with you left foot as you are running to shave off some time. Also practice so that you are not taking shuffle steps before you get to the base, this slows you down big-time. (My home-to-home time was 11.14 - these methods do work).
