    Maybe no more Tournaments us

    Not to be stupid, but how is it that so many people on here are involved with tournaments? In our rec league (all that my DD plays), we have a spring season opening tourney and that is it. There are only a couple of travel ball teams around here and they, of course, only pick the elite players...

    Help!!!

    Ok all, I need some help. I have a 10 yo DD who has a very, very bad habit that we need to break ASAP. When she catches a ball, whether I am throwing it back to her, another coach throws it to her, or one of the girls on her team throws it, she exhibits this bad habit. She catches the ball...

    What is your best "lack of focus" story?

    I think the best lack of focus story I have comes not just from my DD, but from her 8U rec coach. Our 8U rec league is coach pitch in order to speed the games up some. The coach's DD was batting #4, my DD #5. She pitches to her DD, who rockets a liner right back through the box. The coach...

    Sorry...I need to rant about this

    I've always prided myself as being a non-intrusive parent when it comes to DD and softball. I get involved and help her teams out where I can, but I try not to complain about playing time, batting order, etc. However, this fall, my DD decided at 10 YOA to start pitching. Since August we've...

    Pitching Lessons/ Small Rant

    I think the reason that some mom's dislike softball is that they want our DDs to be 'girly'. Whereas, dads enjoy seeing the girls on the softball field and we treat them like ball players. A good example was at my DDs fall practice last night. We were scrimmaging our association's other team...

    Certification

    I have volunteered as an assistant coach for both of my DD's rec league softball teams for the past 4-5 years. I heard this past weekend that for our next spring season, our rec league is going to require the head coach and 1st assistant for every team in the league to become ASA certified and...

    Hip Rotation

    Pittsburgh is only about an hour and I work near the airport area, so that would not be an issue. Where can I find info on the lessons he will be doing around here? I would defintely try to get my DD there.

    Hip Rotation

    Thank you. I will be sure to watch them ASAP. That is definitely my hope with all of this. I want to prevent her from developing too many bad habits and to break the few bad habits she has developed in this first month before they become too deep to work out. As I said before, I'm dealing...

    Hip Rotation

    What I meant was that when the ball comes around past her hips, she is not getting completely square to the plate. As for a pitching coach, we live in southwestern PA and I have been unable to find any pitching coaches in the area. I have found several in the Eastern part of Pennsylvania and...

    Hip Rotation

    My 10 y/o daughter just started pitching this year for our fall league season. We have pitching practices 2 nights a week, team practice two nights a week and 2 games every Sunday, so we don't have a lot of extra time to work on things away from softball right now. Unfortunately also, our...

    Starting Off

    My 10 y/o daughter has played softball for 3 years now. She played in an 8U coach pitch league for 2 years, and has played 10U fastpitch last fall, half of this spring (till she broke her wrist), and is going to start again this fall. She has now decided that she wants to learn to pitch. I...
