How much pitching time?
chinamigarden thanks for your reply. Our third pitcher can only make it Friday. I think the advice I'm really looking for is maybe how many pitches should I let my 12 year old throw over the coerce of the weekend and breaking it down to how many each of the 3 days. I know each child is...- DaveWI

How much pitching time?
The pain is at the top of her tricep where it meets the shoulder. Hasn't had pain there this year yet. But she hasn't pitched a tournament yet just some rec games and about 400 pitches a week in practices. Ray should I limit her to say 500 pitches for the weekend?- DaveWI

How much pitching time?
Sluggers thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, this is the beginning of her third year of pitching on a travel ball team. She has good form and is an excellent pitcher. Her form isn't perfect but she continues to work on perfecting it. This is her first travel ball tourney this year. Most...- DaveWI

How much pitching time?
starsnuffer I will be watching and hoping for easy innings. My fear is knowing when to pull her and trying to make the most of her available pitching time. Abbygale she is a leaper.

How much pitching time?
I'm looking for advice on how many pitches my daughter should throw or how much she should be allowed to push her self in her first(this year) 12u TB tournament. She is in her second year of 12u.

Peel Drop where to start
I read the thread on spin. How does my daughter get 11-5 spin? She's right handed. We're starting to do the show it throw it drill in an attempt to correct the spin. Having some success but when she's not thinking of the spin and just throwing hard it returns to 11-5. This will probably take a...- DaveWI

Peel Drop where to start
My DD is in her first year of 12U. She is 5'1" and 95 lbs. She has a gymnasts build, very strong for her size. She is actually a very good ballerina. The dancing has really helped to develope her core muscles. She uses IR in her pitching motion. If I'm honest she cruises between 48-52. She has...- DaveWI

Choosing bat length and weight.
To those of you who responded thanks. I was looking at her current bat and it's actually 32/19 not 31/18. The older I get the worse my memory gets. We're thinking of going with a 32/22. We live in Wisconsin and like the idea of a Anderson bat but we're a bit afraid of a end loaded bat. I've...- DaveWI

Hi all, Great sight, I really enjoy reading all the posts. My DD is 11 and playing 12U for the first time this year. She is 5'1" and 95 lbs. She has a very athletic build and is strong for her size. She is currently using a 31/18 bat. She hit very well with it last year but was usually way...- DaveWI
