    Drama

    i coached 8u for 5 years, generally unless they were extremely talented or at least had an attention span longer than a knat first year kids went to of. never really had set positions, would constantly re eval and move if need be. there were usually kids that never saw dirt their first year, my...

    Open to everyones thoughts...

    so if dd has this issue of hitting everything too early where do you put the tee? typically have it in front of left knee (she doesn't stride) middle of plate. dd is now swinging entirely too early. literally cant even hit a meat ball off barrell, hits it off end, pulls everything. i thought...

    i will do that, its unreal actually how effortless it is. younger dd could pitch for an hour and not even break a sweat, older dd 20 minutes and its pouring off of her. he said this off season he is going to take away some of her leap, get her knee higher. he dislikes the leap a lot!

    i have asked pc this a dozen time, he keeps telling me no the ball will be 48 at 35 feet too that the speed doesn't adjust to 5 more feet. this makes no sense to me, it would have to right??

    thanks for the input, she actually hasn't gone through "the change" yet no body changes as of yet. the problem was actually she never closed her hips at all until the ball was about half way to the plate, left that foot and hip far behind. seems to me that way would actually slow her down. or...
