    Does anyone use the Surface pro?

    I am not actively using it - i bought it months ago but have no clue how to really use it to it's full potential. I have been a mac user for the last 15+years - swear by the macbook pro's but they do not function as a laptop/tablet like the surface does. I really want to utilize the...

    Does anyone use the Surface pro?

    I'm wondering if any of you use the surface pro to take video or photos and analyze swings, pitching,d defense or anything else ? I have one and never use it but see that it's used widely in the NFL - feel like I could really be using this to show my players where we are doing well and where...

    In a game this past weekend - the leadoff batter bunts the ball right back to the pitcher who cleanly fields the ball, runner is not even half way down the baseline... first baseman was crashing and the second baseman had a brain fart and did not cover first base so pitcher never throws the...

    Are tryouts really a tryout?

    This time of year we have so much DRAMA around here! Girls trying out for 3 or 4 different teams because there are no guarantees. IMO each coach is different - some want to carry the same team with them year after year and others look to improve the quality of the team WITHOUT adding parent...

    Higher level fundraising

    Last year we did a "year of cheer" fundraiser .... every family got beer, wine, liquor, mixers etc. donated. We didnt call it a basket because it ended up being a "truckload" of stuff. Sold tickets for $5 a piece and we could not get the tickets printed fast enough. We did this in combination...

    I have been to the "be the best you can be" coaches clinic which is run by Ralph and Karen Weekly in cherry hill new jersey for the last 3 years. This clinic has become such a success that they are moving it to Atlantic City this year. Great opportunity for a vendor. Here's a link Home | Be...

    holding 10U tryouts this weekend

    Yup both sound like our typical 10U tryouts - I will take "coachability" over ability any day of the week after 2 years learning the hard way! Positive attitude and hustle over ability for me are huge so I usually like to do things where i can see who hustles. "Okay girls pick up the balls...

    Pitching instructor between NY and NC ????

    Wish you were closer. We are downstate so I am guessing like 4 hours away from us. At have to plan a visit when we come back from vacation! I did contact Rick Pauly who told me he is the new pitching coach at Univ of Georgia so he can't help. So still looking to go see someone on my trip south!
