How to adjust to a trench?
Hello everyone, as our pitchers go in the circle and do their thing, a trench is made in front of the rubber. Most of the pitchers on the other teams are a bit taller so they seem not to be affected by it since they can easily stride to the front of it. Our pitchers are on the shorter end so...- PerpetualBeginner

Possibly playing daughter down?
Hello everyone, Our 8u daughter is at the literal cutoff 8/31 for USA softball age, so she'll always be the youngest player not only in her class, but softball as well in the first year she moves up in any age group.

We had a game last night and when my daughter was put in the 2nd inning I kept encouraging her with two thumbs up every time she looked towards the dugout.

8u batting cage ball size question
Hello everyone, I was wondering if it was ok for our 8u girls to hit off of a tee and soft toss using 12" balls. 8u is 10", but we don't really have any strong batters. I'm wondering if hitting a bigger target would be of any benefit or detriment. Thanks!- PerpetualBeginner

8u pitching practice...how much is too much?
Hi everyone, I practice around 4 to 5 days a week (including 1 day with pitching coach) with my 8 year old daughter. Right now I'm trying to fix one glaring issue which is her ending up in a bowling ball position when she finishes, but other than that we practice her fastball and change-up...- PerpetualBeginner
