    Team playing up too far?

    In my area there are limited A level tourneys so most classify as a B for the scheduling flexibility. The few A's just play up as u said. Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk

    Team playing up too far?

    Yeah we are not winning 50% of the time, its much less than that. Why not play 12ua? Because HC says we would have ruled the class and it was no challenge, I disagree. We do have plenty of girls that are not into it, but some that are totally all in. I wanted to keep my DD in 12u but that...

    Team playing up too far?

    Posted a while back about some concerns I had with my then just 12yo moving up too 14u and being too young. Well we decided to move up and I must say she surpassed my expectations. Did great, handled her self very well and it never phased her. As a pitcher and 1st base she held her own and...

    What do I need to work on in off season?

    Thank you for all the comments and suggestions. I talked to my dd last night and she wants to give this method a try. It's going to be hard to break these habits after being taught this way then practicing it hundreds if not thousands times. Until I found this site I did not know any better...

    What do I need to work on in off season?

    Thanks for all the comments and kind words....I will take any and all advice at this point. As for the stiff arm, we are trying to loosen things up. When we do the T drill in warm ups I tell her to just let your arm kinda drop and whip....she kinda gets it but its gonna take some doing. As...

    What do I need to work on in off season?

    Ok sorry about the links I'm having a hard time figuring this out! I posted youtube links hopefully they work. I will research front side resistance at length tonight on this board thanks for the suggestion. As far as learning I am a complete newbie and don't know much...I am trying to help...

    What do I need to work on in off season?

    My dd is 11 going to turn 12 in sept. She has been pitching for a year and played TB this year. She has done quite well for her first year pitching. I would like to know what I need to work on in the off season to correct any mechanical flaws. Two thing I noticed is bending at the waist and...

    Keeping DD sharp during tournament season

    This season was my 11yo DD'S first year of TB. Since they practiced only once a week on Sundays I signed her up for our townships rec league. The tournament season and rec league season have ran simultaneously from early April to June, and I figured rec would be good "practice" for...

    Opinions on moving up....

    Ok so a somewhat more definite decision was made. I have no t committed to any yet though. Basically I am letting her move up. Most of my decision is based on the fact that she is very adamant about staying with her current teammates. I also ffeel her skill set is high enough to compete...

    Conduct of an Umpire

    I would have reported it to the authorities...never know this guy could have slipped through the checks somehow.

    Softball must haves?

    I agree with Scdad....I know several girls who can't and won't try out simply because their parents can't afford the sign up fee. Maybe you can offer a discount or give a break on uniform cost on an as needed basis. I know I myself had to work my butt off just to put my dd in TB and buy all...

    Opinions on moving up....

    Jacman you are correct my main concern is her pitching the HC wants her to stay a pitcher and first base. While she does quite well she Def has a lot of work to do... a 14 or 15yo would have had more time to develop. She has a hard time staying mentally strong sometimes and forgets her...

    Opinions on moving up....

    Getting some good advice here....Its starting to look more like most are saying stay within the age group. That is pretty much what I have felt in my gut since I was approached with this. My 4'9" barely 100lb. DD is already pitching to girls near 6 foot 160 solid muscle at 12! Never mind 14...

    Opinions on moving up....

    Canyon Joe yes will be 12 this Sept. A "pro" is that she will be with the same girls...The HC is looking to make very few additions or subtractions. So we will be a young team at 14u. My DD is the shortest and close to the youngest. The oldest just turned 13 ....so no girl would be 14 at the...

    Opinions on moving up....

    I apologize in advance if this is long winded but I need some opinions here.* A few months ago I posted about being frustrated with my dd's travel team of which I am an assistant coach.* I felt they were not practicing enough or taking things serious.* I was told to wait it out and what I was...
