    Wrist Coach - Play Band

    10U travel ball coach here. First year in 10U. I’ve been seeing several posts of tournaments where the girls are wearing play bands.

    Situational Fielding - 10U

    Where do you coach your girls to go with the ball? These are all assumed to be a grounder to the infield. I wish there was a guide for this kind of stuff lol 1.

    Coach Interference Explanation

    Hey, all! New here, and new to 10U, so I’ll probably be frequent in here. A week ago, there was a situation with an umpire and I need clarification on the scenario: We have a batter who hits the ball, and safely makes it to first base and is rounding to go to second. Around this time the...
