    Training alone

    I'm trying to sort out a training program for myself. Unfortunately I live 2hrs by car away from the nearest softball facilities, and thus 2hrs drive from most of my teammates. Therefore, when I train, I do it alone. I've been doing tee work, sprint work, conditioning work, some weights, and I...

Considering the 33...

    Gloves for Beginners

    Hi guys, I'm coaching a team of players who are all relatively new to the game.

Any suggestions? ps. easy...

    Catchers throwing drills

    I'm 17, and a lefty catcher. My blocking is generally okay, but i have an erratic arm that could do with being stronger to second. Does anybody have any ideas for drills to improve accuracy/pop time?

    Wont' Swing the Bat

    Okay. I have a 12yo girl playing in her first season. I am the assistant coach. Anyway, in her very first game she was hit on the shin by one of the quicker pitchers in the league. Since then, when it gets to a game situation, she refuses to swing the bat, because she's scared she's going to get...

    Hitter with hands around the wrong way

    in the 14U team i assistant coach, we have a player who is only new to the sport, and when she goes up to bat, her hands are around the wrong way for a right-handed hitter. We've tried her from the left side but she keeps going back, left hand grip, right hand box. But when we correct her hands...

    Brace v Strapping

    I sprained my ankle a few days ago while playing, quite severely (enough to warrant a trip to the ER for x-rays). I am currently wearing a compression bandage in order to reduce swelling. However when I return to playing in two to three weeks (hopefully!), I will need some extra support. My...

    I am 17, have been playing baseball and softball for 10 years. In the last 12 months i have taken up umpiring as well. I am curious as to how many players, in particular younger players, take up umpiring in their teens. I am from Australia and I have noticed that a lot of our umpires began at a...

    Hitting drills off the tee- something new

    I'm a 17yo first baseman/outfielder/catcher and I do a lot of tee work to try and improve my hitting. However, I am just constantly hitting into a net, and while I can feel the difference the practice has made, I am getting bored with the repetition of just hitting line drives straight to the...
