Former player and special person died in crash
After reading the article, she was a wonderful person and epitomized what a mentor and role model looks like. Selflessness and caring character. Looks like she touched many lives and will leave a lasting positive impact. Prayers for her family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Coaching99s

Bucket Dad Pain
While I never heard the comments myself, I can only imagine what my DD's team mates thought of my bucket outfit. After suffering many dings over the years, when my DD starting hitting the 60's I geared up with catcher shin-guards, an umpire face-mask and a bucket seat with the jewel protector...- Coaching99s

Legacy Tournament
Yes, just made the 9 hour drive[emoji12] Playing 18U. This is our teams first time at this tournament. We've always heard it was well run and fairly well attended by coaches. Going to be a hot 3 days with temps in the mid 90's. Should be some good ball! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk- Coaching99s

What is a mid-major college?
Just curious about how this relates to softball. I've heard coaches call certain colleges mid-majors. What determines a mid-major? Is it simply conference or does the number of students attending the school or how much money the school is endowed with factor in? I've always assumed that every...- Coaching99s

Question about tryouts. Need opinions.
Sorry for the confusion, DD is a 14U eligible pitcher moving up to 16U. Not committed, wants to play on a team that has great D1 recruiting success. Has the skills to make the move up, just looking for opinions if a résumé style letter would be a good idea or not.- Coaching99s

Question about tryouts. Need opinions.
We are making a move to a new team and new challenge. Playing up a year and moving to 16U. We are considering a team that is 5 hours away for their competitive schedule and recruiting success. We will attend tryouts only once due to scheduling. Here is my main question. Would it be recommended...- Coaching99s

My $60.00 Craig's List haul
You can't beat Craig's List, I check softball/baseball every other day. I have found a full size batting cage in the past that came in handy. I am picking up two brand new 24" pitching rubbers and a single unused $85 base tomorrow for $20.00. Don't have any use for the base, will probably donate...- Coaching99s

Random act of Class....
While playing in the championship game this weekend in a large Memorial Day weekend tournament (40+ 12U teams), we were pleasantly surprised by what happened after an incident on the field. This after watching the Texas - Oregon game during the same weekend.... We were down 1-3 in the 5th...- Coaching99s

SS taking throws from catcher
Our pitcher uses a balance ball to throw off of. We will try your suggestion the next time we work on throw downs. Also, we've noticed that the SS has to know the catchers throw. We've had both a right-hand and a left-hand catcher. We've noticed that the spin of the ball on a one hopper takes a...- Coaching99s

Player hit by LD, Kentucky HS
We attended a tournament in Maryland this weekend and a 12U pitcher not wearing a mask took a line drive to the face. She was hit so hard it broke her nose, broke teeth and gave her a concussion. They landed the helicopter on the field to air-lift her off to John Hopkins. She was back the next...- Coaching99s

10UA playing 12UB before nationals
We had the same question last season (our last year at 10U). We had similar pitchers (#1 high 40’s great location with okay change-up, #2 mid 40’s with great change-up, #3 high 30’s/low 40’s with good change-up). Between fall and spring TB season we played 100 games total. 10 games in the...- Coaching99s

My 10yo pitching
Would highly recommend purchasing both Rita Lynn Gilman videos! She has a great perspective being a former pitcher. We're fortunate to live a day trip away from her and have seen her several times. We have been to several pitching coaches who have all had good tips and drills, but her...- Coaching99s
