    How early to start looking?

    How early does everyone start showing interest in schools and reaching out to try and have them come take a look? My youngest DD is in 7th grade, but is the only 7th grader on the JH varsity team. Hands down the best pitcher on the team. She is also playing 2nd year travel. I was thinking...

    Overhand Throwing warm-ups- Wrist Snaps

    Wanted to see what the consensus is on wrist snaps to warm up throwing overhand. I have seen some articles and such online before against it, but of course cant seem to find them again. I do not use this in warm ups. After dynamic warm ups and stretching, I normally have the girls throw...

    JH/SH coaches give praise to youngest DD

    So my youngest DD is in 7th grade. Last night at practice all the coaches were telling me how great a player she is, one of the best hitters and how coachable she is. I have already been told that despite being in 7th grade, she will be the #1 pitcher for the 8th grade team. Our school breaks...

    Different Back ups

    Had our first outside practice with school the other day. So, we had some different coverage's that I really haven't seen before that threw me for a loop. Situation-shot to CF gap, take throw to F4 at 2 herself. F6 is supposed to back up F4 in between 2nd and pitcher. Seemed very tight for...

    When to start reaching out?

    I have 2 DD's that both play. Oldest is 16, 10th grade. Youngest is 12, 7th grade. Both want to play in college. Right now DD1 has her sights on a D3 college in the area. DD2 just wants to play anywhere, her main focus is playing college ball. DD1 is focused on program, career path and...

    Can't hit off the machine

    My oldest DD has always been a reliable, contact hitter in game. Lays beautiful bunts (but is slow running, so sac bunts) and is consistent when hitting away. Good contact, but hits mostly singles partially due to slow running again. Anyway, she is HORRIBLE in the cage with a machine. I...

    Frustrated....

    So my family and I recently moved to another state. The school softball team is having workouts once a week until the season starts. At the first workout that my youngest went to (both play, but oldest had another in season sport) I was talking with the head coach about the team. Long story...

    Bunt coverage differences

    Just want to see what bunt coverages people use and why. I have been using 5 crashes, 1 covers 1st base side, 2 gets in front of plate, 4 goes to 2nd, 6 goes to 3rd. Of's back up bases in front of them. I noticed though when we moved states, almost all the teams in my new area have corners...

    I/R, I just dont get it

    So, I have been trying to read and understand all the IR posts here. I just don't get it. No one in my area that I know of is teaching it. I guess my main problem when I read through all the stuff is I don't have medical degree so I get lost with a lot of the terms. I am a diesel...

    Homemade outdoor batting cage

    Anyone made one themselves? I am sure someone has. Lets see some pictures. I am thinking of building one in the backyard here in the near future. Wanted to see what others have used for netting, frames, etc.

    Rec rules for the varios age groups by regions

    So I find it interesting that even within the same sanctioning bodies, regional rules differ. We play Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth where I am from. So, here are some of the basics that I would like to see how they compare with the rest of the country. 8u - Machine pitch, 6 pitches, foul of pitch 6...
