Inside pitch Tee work.
We have been working on keeping her hands inside the ball. She struggles hitting the inside pitch. She can't seem to keep the ball off her hands.
Please take a look at the short video and let me know if we are headed in the right direction...
A little history on my DD
My little one turns 11 on 4/15/17. She currently plays 10u
She is consistently throwing 48 49 50mph in games. Mostly 48 and 49 and the occasional 50.
Last year around this time we were lucky enough to catch a lesson with Amy in Az.
She clocked her at 45 46 47mph
We are...
It appears to me that the spin(bullet spin) on my DD's fastball is the same as her screwball. If the spin is the same what are the benefits of learning the screwball? Thanks again for yalls help.
Below is a link of my DD(1st year 10u) swing.
I'm concerned about her bat speed it looks slow to me. What are some good drills to speed up her swing?
Please let me know if there are any other problems that I need to address.
Thanks in advance for the help...
Below are 2 links of my little one pitching. One is her pitching in our backyard and the other one is her pitching this weekend. I realize the game video shows we need a lot of work. But my main concern is the the drive foot getting stuck in the hole. How do I address this problem? Tell her to...

Here is the background on my DD.
She turned 10 last week. This year is her 1st year playing 10u. She has been playing softball for 4 years.

My little one(9year old) is working on a change up. I'm asking her to connect her thumb and index finger and for her to put her middle finger, ring finger and pinkie on the laces. I'm telling her to shove the ball into her palm and grip tightly and to throw like a fastball. You can tell that the...
We just received our Spring Softball Schedule. Wowzers, her coach has us all over the state of Texas. This is not a bad thing.
I'm curious, have any of yall had any luck finding local businesses to sponsor your kid?
If so, what process gave the best results?
Thank You in advance.
My little one (9year old) took two weeks off from pitching. Yesterday we went back to work and now she is rolling her shoulder hard at or after release.
She is a right hand pitcher and to a right hand batter the ball is going outside. I've never noticed it before. We are going out again today. I...
I understand that I should not be worried about speed at her age.
The Alpha male that I am wants to know is 40-43mph typical for her age? What is typical?
Pitching coach said she was throwing 40-43mph consistently. I do pay him, so not sure how reliable that is.
She does throw faster than most...

I never played ball so its hard for me to gauge.
How are her mechanics?
Is she leaning to much during the release of the ball? How is her footwork?
We work...

What to fix first:
Crow hop
Leaning forward at release
All of the above?
Any feedback good or bad will be appreciated.
