Sometimes I think Seniors should have to work twice as hard to get to start, just to prove that they don't have senioritis. We have 4 seniors on our HS team, 3 are VERY good and are definite starters. 2 of them have had bouts of senioritis all season long and it has cost us. They seem to be...
My daughter has used it and likes it. There is an insert that comes with it that has applications for various muscle groups. Their website also has videos for various joints as well.
I read most of the replies to your question, but not all of them so if I'm repeating something, I apologize. My main argument for not having any regular season rules that differ from LL rules is simple. They won't be ready for tournament play. I've seen it before. The league that my DD's are...
Minor Division: If a player pitches in more than one inning, once calendar day of rest is mandatory. Maximum of 6 innings in a game. A Maximum of 6 innings in a calendar week, Sunday through Saturday. 2010 LL SB Rulebook pg 39
You might get away with that for one game. But if she's on your affidavit she is expected to play, unless injured or sick. Once she hasn't played for 2 or 3 games you will most likely get questions from the Tournament Director and most likely be asked to remove her from the roster, or worse if...
Just keep in mind when you say that she would have a chance to play in games, the only way that would happen is if one of the other players had to be dropped from the roster for some reason. Once you start the tournament with 13 players, you can not have more than 13 on your roster. Also if...
Coming from someone who was/is burned out. Take SOMETHING off of their plate!!!! This person can't be needed for EVERYTHING that they do. You might think that they are, and the probably do too, because both of you think that no one else will do it. Well someone will, or they'll go without...
It's not just during Tournament games that you have be wary, but early practices as well. We had two older men coming to our Junior/13U practices two years ago, and all of us parents assumed it was someone elses grandfathers/uncles since none of us personally recognized them. Turned out they...

You can buy one from the LL store online. It is $7 plus shipping. Don't know how much that is. Your League can get them for $2 but it sounds like they don't want to spend the money, or they don't want people to know the rules. Shame on them either way.
Get on the T and check your swing!!! If you hit the ball off of a tee on the ground then that's you're problem right there. Hit the ball off of the tee until it goes where you want it to, then practice that again and again.
My DD as a freshman made the Varsity HS team. During open gym I noticed that both of the new bats for the year that the coach had bought were 24 ounce bats. Hmmm I said to myself. When we went back east for spring break, I took her to a "Pro Shop/Batting cage" we were actually looking for...
