I have three girls that play softball, one also plays volleyball and the other two do tumbling. The tumbling has given them great balance and strength training. We don't have much to do in our area in the off season so the other sports are a great way to keep them active and in shape.
Does your softball player, play any other sports?

My DD plays softball, summer and school, Track & Field school (Sprints and long jump). That's it for athletics. Do band, chorus and 4H count in there for 'other' activities?

FYI, DD has been doing TKD for a couple of months now and it seems as though the TKD and softball are mutually beneficial to some extent. The martial arts instructors have the kids doing a lot of push-ups, sit-ups and various aerobic calisthenics and they often have them holding middle stances till their legs are shaking. She has impressed them with how low she can get and well she can maintain the low stance. On the other hand, she's gone from being able to do a wall sit for around 3 minutes to doing one for slightly over 10 minutes the last time she saw Chaz at a catching lesson. Her team's batting coach was happy with her strength too.
