    Hs coaches calling pitches that dont work

    I really appreciate this post. This is what I said to my husband. "She" needs to change her pitches. The catcher should be able to catch whatever. And throw a change up but since she is only called up to varsity once in a while we dont want to tell her to disrespect the coach. Thanks for...

    Hs coaches calling pitches that dont work

    Anyone come across a HS Coach that doesnt know how to call pitches? At first they were allowing the catchers to call the game. They weren't doing a bad job but still need to be taught to mix up locations. Then the coach started calling pitches, that seemed to be continual Fastballs. No...

    High school coach playing favorites

    I did take a step back. I thought of all the events that occurred. First week the coach loved her. 2nd week, the 2 varsity catchers tried to catch for her and she was told no. One of the girls that was picked over her, is on the same travel team as my daughter and is the number 3?? She is a...

    High school coach playing favorites

    Thanks for both posts. Your comments and encouragements were well stated. Yes I didnt want to seem like I was one of those parents with rose colored glasses, just looking for an unbias oppinion. We did consider it was maybe a blessing in disguise because she will pitch more at this level and...

    Weighted balls

    Help! I am getting conflicting info regarding weighted balls. My daughter recently left a B level travel team where she was the number 1 pitcher and got a lot of pitching time. We wanted to get her on an A level Team, where we knew going in she would get minimal circle time. Thought at a more...

    What makes a bad softball parent?

    Discuss? So trying to be a good parent but, at age 14 should the player or the parent talk to the coach? If just talking to the coach regarding playing time considered a bad parent even if it is done with respect. Or at this age do you think if the player has a problem, they should talk...

    Difficult Decision - What would you do?

    Difficult decision DONT DO IT!! Trust me when I tell you this type of parent you will not change. He will only bring negativity to your team, and may even create havoc amongst the rest of the parents. This in turn could have the rest of the parents turn on you. That is exactly what happened...

    Parents

    Any advice?? My husband and I started a 10U Travel Softball team. We aquired kids we coached on my daughters community team, and friends. My daughter's best friend(at the time)parents were undecided, she was a good little lefty pitcher and our daughter was coming around. We had a pretty good...
