    13 yr old pitching coach

    My 13 yr old DD has been asked to become the pitching coach for a 10U rec team in our town. It makes very proud to see her giving back to the sport she loves so dearly. She's actually making a difference as well. Her team lost their first game badly because of walks then after two practices...

    Made a decision--going to 14U

    Looks like we've decided to move up to 14U. Now we have a new problem! Which 14U team to choose? My DD has multiple teams recruiting her. There are 2 teams she is considering, she has friends on both teams with whom she has played with before. For the sake of discussion I'll call them team A...

    Afraid of an inside pitch.

    My 12 year old DD has developed a fear of inside pitches. She won't admit to it but it is obvious to me and anyone who watches her including the other teams. If the pitch is anywhere near the inside corner she jumps off the plate like someone threw a ball of fire at her! The logical...

    Taking it easy on weaker teams?

    At what point in a game do you decide that it's time to "call off the dogs" against a weaker team? We had a situation this weekend that my DD's 12U team scored 13 runs in the first inning without getting a single out. The umpire suggested that we "call off the dogs" or else. How do you do that...

    Play up or stay in age group?

    My daughter is currently playing 12U and can play 12U next year also. She is big for her age 5'10'' and about 185 lbs. She is one of the strongest players on her team. She has been asked to join several 14U teams next year. Should she play up or stay where she is?

    Slowing Fastball

    As my 12 yr old daughter learns more pitches her fastball has slowed down. Is this common? How do I correct it?
