    VeloPRO Training Hype?

    We train out of this facility and I am one of the coaches on the team they used in the video. We just had a quick trial run with a few of our girls. The boys have been using it all winter on both the front and the rear leg. We did see the swing speed increase while using it. We are thinking...

    Sock Drill For Limited Space

    That is funny I was just talking to a kid last night that I use to coach that is now pitching in the TB basball Org and he was saying that they do this quite often. As soon as we get off our winter break we were going to try to introduce this to our girls.

    Limit on HBPs

    I wouldn't want my pitchers afraid to throw inside to a hitter in fear of being pulled if they hit them.

    Week One Lesson Plan?

    Chris-Thanks for the post it was very thought out. I agree with not over complicating it. When we are working on stuff we have nothing but fun. When I throw front toss to her I cheat and throw it to the spot that I know she has the best opportunity to hit it to build her confidence. If she only...

    Where if anywhere are you playing this weekend

    The weather was decent on Sat to bad it couldn't hold of one more day. Looks like you guy's had a good showing! We struggled after the first game but I think we can get those things fixed, I'm just hoping that we can get some sun for next weekend for the Diamond Duster Invite!

    Wa Synergy 12U B We are a first year 12u. I'm the AC it's going to be a tough year this year but the girls are working hard and have made some huge improvement over the winter. We still have a lot of work to do.

    Week One Lesson Plan?

    Doug-I really liked your post about the tip it and rip it. I took it to the cages last week with my older DD and a few of her team mates and gave it a go I am going to continue to try and work it to see if I can't get my DD to get it right. I agree with your post above that there is a lot of...

    Week One Lesson Plan?

    I agree with having them swinging at good pitches but I do want her to be aggressive. In her 8u they use a machine that lay's the pitch in almost the same spot every time and they get 5 or 6 pitches no matter if they miss all of them. That is my reasoning for this year to have her swinging at...

    Week One Lesson Plan?

    The one good thing about machine pitch is that every pitch is I'm swinging and I hope it turns her into an aggressive hitter in the future. I would also like her to have smooth flowing swing but I think the hands are a big part of that. Maybe having her do the HG drill to help her with momentum...
