When you or your player really gets into the sport of fastpitch softball, you'll come to find that a different type of battle often permeates the seven innings of play: The Cheer Battle.
While the teams are taking part in the physical contest on the field, there is also a psychological and emotional battle taking place between the two dugouts as the ladies volley back and forth chants and cheers. The purpose is not only to rally their fastpitch squad to a victory, but also to draw the other team's focus away from the diamond.
We've provided the list of battle cries below to give your softball players a full arsenal of the catchiest softball cheers that exist within the game. They are repetitive, silly, and will likely be stuck in your head while you lay awake at night. Which is perfect!
If your group puts in the practice before a fastpitch game or tournament, singing these chants will become second nature to them. Then they will be belting out chants from memory at a critical point in the game while their focus remains on the softball action! And hopefully, this leads to more victories!
We hope you enjoy the read!

Softball Cheers To Get The Whole Team Involved
If you are looking for full-team participation, you often want to incorporate an echo system where a leader (or a couple of players) yell the first portion loudly while the rest of the team repeats in the back. Some of the best examples of such can be seen below.
...I love you
You stole two
...You stole two
Golly gee
...Golly gee
Now steal three
...Now steal three
Just one more
...Just one more
Then we’ll score
...Then we’ll score
Slide on it
....Slide on it
Then we’ll win
...Then we’ll win!

Where the bullfrogs jump from bank to banky,
With a hip, hop, hippity, hop,
Leap off a lily pad and go KERPLOP!

Down by the river
Took a little walk
Met up with the other team

Pushed ’em in the river
Hung ’em out to dry
We can beat the other team
