    Blocking / Hitting Dummy?

    This is a old school method of training before big business took over. Almost everything today comes from this bag. How to hit low, high, and center and how to drive the ball by getting your hips rotated and using the whole side of your body. It also showed where your hands were on contact. In a...

    First showcase - need a profile?

    Please hear what you are saying. I have never used there for I don't really know. But I would caution against them as your only means of communication. College coaches get 1000"s of emails from people like you too. This is the 21st century how do you think a coach talks to your dd unless you...

    First showcase - need a profile?

    Do yourself a favor and use one of the recruiting sites. We used Captain U only because it came with one of the showcases. It was fast and easy to set up all you do is fill in the blanks.
