Which topic is covered under softball fielding and throwing content?

• A. Dribbling and shooting
• B. Serving
• C. Determining where to throw the ball
• D. Running the bases

Answer: (C)

The main idea is decision-making in fielding and throwing: choosing the correct target to throw the ball to in order to get an out or stop a runner. In softball, when you field the ball you must quickly assess where runners are, how many outs there are, and the best base to throw to. That quick judgment—deciding whether to throw to first for an out, to second to force a runner, or to a cutoff for a relay—is the core skill in fielding and throwing. This isn’t about dribbling or shooting (that’s basketball), serving (volleyball), or running the bases (base running). So determining where to throw the ball is the topic covered under softball fielding and throwing.
