    Changing times for pitchers

    Over the last few years it seems that velocity in pitching has taken a back seat to other aspects of pitching. You see so many people always commenting it’s all about hitting spots and movement. That velocity does not matter or you have to spin it to win it. You are starting to see SEC and other...

    Building an indoor facility any suggestions

    So what started as a small indoor space for my DD to pitch and hit has taken a different turn. We are building about a 3,000 sq ft indoor facility for softball training. There is a huge demand in our area and very few options for girls to work indoors during bad weather. We are planning on 3...

    Alternative catching ideas

    My days of being able to sit on the bucket to catch are quickly coming to and end. What are some suggestions or other things you have done for your pitchers practice when you couldn’t feel comfortable catching them anymore. Our team is a couple of hours away so the team catchers are not really...

    Flip change speed

    I was wondering at what speed girls are or can throw a flip change. My DD can not get enough speed added to her flip change to be as effective as it use to be. As her normal speed has increased the change is just not increasing. And we are at 20+ mph difference in her fast and change. Batters...

    I have been on the forums for a couple years and have learned some great information. I was just thinking I have not seen a thread were parents could admit mistakes or wish they had made different decisions in their DD playing career. Some have more the one daughter and possibly learned from...

    Getting team to gel or click 10u

    This spring my 10u team is a mix of 07 and 08 players. Individually each girl is very talented but as a team we are either very hot or very cold in tournaments. I’ve had teams with much less talent that won a bunch of games but they really clicked and had each other’s back. I was wondering if...

    Building a practice field

    I accidentally posted this first in the catchers forum. But I was looking at more of the coaches view. I’m curious if anyone here has built a personal practice field. If so I’d like to hear some feedback or tips from your experience. In our area it is next to impossible to find fields for...

    Building a practice field

    I’m curious if anyone here has built a personal practice field. If so I’d like to hear some feedback or tips from your experience. In our area it is next to impossible to find fields for travel teams so this is an option I’m exploring. I have the land available so that cost is not part of the...

    10u pitching to team that crowds the plate

    I’m curious to hear opinions from other coaches on facing teams that really crowd the plate. What are your go to pitch locations? Do you challenge them and risk free bases? 10u age group.
