    More tryout etiquette questions (when to tell current HC you are looking for another team)

    She just got back from the second tryout and this is the happiest I’ve seen her about softball in long time! We dont know which team yet but she will be happy either way. I wish I could express this to her previous coach how much of a negative impact he had on her. Sad part is the kid knew...

    More tryout etiquette questions (when to tell current HC you are looking for another team)

    Update on this. The tryout went well and she has been asked to come back for an evaluation today on the orgs top level team. We are going to go. She told us yesterday that she really doesn’t want to go back to her old team even if she doesn’t make it at this tryout. She is done with her old...

    More tryout etiquette questions (when to tell current HC you are looking for another team)

    Thanks for the thoughts. It’s very conflicting on a personal level. Our area is small and I dont want to creat issues later. Funny you mention uniform as we are trying to figure that out as well. Lol. She doesnt have another uniform other than this one as we dont have middle school ball...

    More tryout etiquette questions (when to tell current HC you are looking for another team)

    2024 DD is in a pickle of sorts. She has tryouts this weekend for her current team on Sunday. She is not real thrilled about her current team. Really likes the girls but not the coaching and has been unhappy all spring and its shown in her confidence and performance. She is also going to...

    Catcher Pick Off - Bases Loaded

    X2 Go for it! It's an aggressive play but I like it. It could save your butt in a real game if practiced.

    A sad day.....DD's basketball career is probably over

    This is just wrong. I've seen it before and it makes me want to "kill them". How can a school allow this at all is beyond me. They should have been stopped a lot sooner than waiting til the season was over to fire them. How can anyone think this is productive? SMH

    Explaining to a coach about the high level swing

    http://www.discussfastpitch.com/softball-hitting-practical/16483-im-thinking.html I made a couple of these so MY dd's know what it means to "turn the barrel" but have not dared take it to practice yet. My oldest mentioned to the head coach last night but I was like "zip it" lol, not ready to...

    Explaining to a coach about the high level swing

    Send it me too lol. These were the answers I was afraid I would get. I had hoped someone had had success in converting an old school coach. :)

    Explaining to a coach about the high level swing

    It's difficult to put it all down here. I have been contemplating what I was going to post and how to post it. He will get their hips turned some but not enough IMO. Another one he will tell me: "watch out for bat wrap" but in a sense, that is what I am teaching my kids. Coil/uncoil...

    Explaining to a coach about the high level swing

    I do understand the compact a little in that sense. But I think he wants them short swing and hands to the ball type compact, not "turn the barrel" compact. One coach will correct his own kid when she takes a step to swing. (He has said he doesn't like a step at all.) He wants no...

    Explaining to a coach about the high level swing

    I coach with a few different coaches and ages. (8u and 10u) I have been reading here on the high level swing and can see how it mimics an MLB swing. But some of the guys I coach with are still saying/teaching things like compact swing, don't drop the front shoulder, the bat leads the body...
