Have you ever thought about possibly bringing in a pitching coach to get a 2nd opinion for the parents? That is if the parents are open to listening to what another PC coach has to say. Hopefully the parents can listen to constructive critism and realize you are only trying to help their DD...
Agreed!! Earrings, jewelry etc are not allowed to be worn during the game according to ASA rules. My daughter had a silly band on her wrist, a piece of RUBBER and the umpire at the plate asked her to remove the bracelet before she could bat!

She has been pitching for 3 years now & she has her corners down 90% of the time. She practices every other day...
Hello!
My daughter just turned 11 years old, throws 52mph, & has 4 pitches she throws with very good acuracy. She has a fastball, change up (a few different styles), drop & drop curve. I've heard from different people the drop & drop curve are pitches an 11 year old shouldn't be throwing...
