    Hitting Really Fast Pitchers

    You can use your pitcher for live pitching. Use a throw down home plate about 5 feet closer to the pitcher. We use two throw downs and the regular home plate (off a pitching machine) to help batters adjust timing. One 5 feet in front of home plate and one 5 feet behind home plate. 4 balls at...

    Drinking coach gone too far? What next?

    The coach needs help to stop the drinking but this is clearly child abuse. The coach should be removed from the organization, reported to the proper authorities and not be permitted to work with children anymore. We, as coaches, are always “on the clock” whether we like it or not. We are role...

    What are some of the "unwritten rules" of softball?

    Run rule can justify the aggressive base running. Recently we had the top seed on a 100 degree Sunday and our first opponent was very outmatched so we made a deliberate attempt to end the game in 3 innings and succeeded.

    Strangest ending to a game?

    As long as the batter runner is moving towards a base, ball in the circle doesn’t matter.

    It is called a mound

    A circle? Y'all are too funny... Maybe one game game a season... I generally line a ellipse out there... stupid nail never stays in the ground. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    Dropping the Hands

    I've used the first two drills in this video... may try #3 and #4 at our next practice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRtPryivdsg Another drill we have used recently is a soft-toss drill. Have your batter take her regular stance but bring her hands down to her waist... it will be a...

    Time to replace my cleats.

    DD tried 3n2 and they were junk, switched to Ringor with pitching toe and was happy happy. First pair lasted a full year of Rec and Travel ball and had to be replaced because she was bursting out of them. They also have the best customer service. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    Travel ball

    When your DD is no longer being challenged, time to play up or look to travel ball. Sent from my SM-G935P using Tapatalk

    I don't believe I said this...

    So last night when the ump was checking our girls' bats and helmets for all the right decals and stickers, he pulled me aside and told me one of my players couldn't use her helmet because though the NOCSAE seal was molded into the helmet, the face mask was lacking a NOCSAE sticker. I said "But...

    I need a gadget built

    How about a PVC frame... you can drop the left/right sides into batting tees and instead of adjusting the height of the poles, adjust the length of the towel. I like the pool noodle idea too... I use them for a few drills.....

    My turn to be a proud dad...

    Sharing this because I'm proud of my daughter and because some of you may be experiencing the same thing.... My DD was a beast in in the circle at 10U- when most hitters lack the eye/hand coordination to make good (or any) contact... but then she grew 4 inches, lost her coordination, control...
