    Increasing speed and/or stamina

    For my DD, she does distance throws of 5 balls each at 10 feet increments, starting from the mound and moving back 30 feet. Then goes through her regular workouts. At the end, she will do speed drills where she has to throw a certain number of pitches within an amount of time. Then on off...

    Daughter's TB Program

    I think this is fantastic. I wish I could find all the resources to do the same out here in So. Cal. So many teams start-up and then just fall by the way side. Having 2dds in the young age group (10s and 12s) would be perfect to do something like that. However, everyone wants a little $$$ in...

    Swinging at first pitch vs working the count

    Do it the Billy Beane way, work the count to your advantage. If your pitch is the first one you see, crush it.

    Calling pitches - by the parents?

    Being a coach and parent. I have actually picked the coaches signs when and have told my daughters, if I call certain numbers, that is the pitch to look for. I will not yell out, (inside, outside, change, etc...), I just give them the number. Does it help, you never can tell because, if the...

    How to handle...

    Sounds a lot like a coach that I know. He even pulled his daughter after she didn't catch a throw at first, on the first batter of the game. Are you in So. Cal.

    Is this a legal pitching motion

    Please try and visualize this: Pitcher on the mound, both feet. Pitcher goes into deliverly, raises right foot and leg up (right handed pitcher), continues delivery motion, pounds leg and foot back onto mound and finishes with normal delivery of pushing off with right foot and drive.
