DD just finished High School ball as a Junior. She helped lead her team (Eastern Tech Mavericks) to a 25-0 record and a Maryland 2A State Championship. She made All County and All Metro at 3rd base, Varsity Sports Network Player of the Year, and she broke the state record for rbi's with 60...
First 18u travel tournament is this weekend but daughter is still in High School playoffs. If they win tonight they will play in the finals at the University of Maryland field on Saturday.
I remember a conversation that started over the swing being linear and rotational and that the nose goes ahead of the belly button during toe touch. The discussion was about momentum in the swing and not staying back and squishing the bug.. I believe it was Gasso on Friday morning.

I go every year. Always a good time. If you go make sure you go to Patty Gasso's sessions. All the coaches are good but she really gives you a lot of good stuff.
I am heading up as I type. MD Chill 18u. DD is going crazy because she is still recovering from surgery on her labrum. Dr. will not release her til June 20th.
I have never wanted to look at this but since the topic is up and I just booked all of our hotels for the summer. I looked at the total for just hotels. It is $2400 just for hotels for the summer. This is not counting the week for the Nationals.
We had issues with the arms extending to bunt but when I finally got the girls to realize that a sac bunt is an out we started getting better at bunting. Get the girls to understand what their job is and the mechanics will improve. Nobody wants to be an automatic out.

We are beginning almost the same journey. DD is having a MRI today for a tear in her labrum on her non-throwing shoulder. She has an issue for two years and was never diagnosed correctly. She would have numbness in her arm after pithching and after several Dr visits, xrays, and MRI's the only...
Frog Toggs are a definite. You can also look into Cytomax. Sold at GNC stores. Marathon runners and cyclist use it. It is in powder form and you can add it to bottles of water.
We played at Frost Stadium last year. We have traveled quite often and that was the best field so far. This year the NSA Worlds are in Spartansburg, SC and the new complex there looks nice. Tyger River Park
The USSSA Nationals for 8u, 10u, 12u, and 14u just happen to be in Orlando next week. We will be attending the 12u division and will be able to see her pitch at Wide World of Sports Complex on Sunday.
