    Suspended from next entire tournament for discipline. Too much?

    I am an assistant coach on our 12U team. One of the very top girls on the team an 11 yo, made accusations towards a girl (12yo) who missed an easy catch and made a few other errors. In the dugout during the game, she told this girl SHE was the reason we were loosing the game. The older girl then...

    Pitches like she's bowling. Help please.

    Just heading to state tournament tomorrow. So this is a fix that might not help until next year. My daughter is one of the most athletic girls and does amazing at any infield position. She decided she wanted to pitch this last January. Went from wild to 60% strikes since then. But her speed...

Neither of the...

    Coach making it sound like he is on opposing team yelling plays. 10-12

    Tell me if I'm nuts. Curious, this is for 10-12 Girls fastpitch Majors. A 10yo girl is up to bat with 3 and 2. The final pitch is coming in way way outside. The opposing coach yells, "There's your pitch" just before the ball was coming in. Of course our girl didn't swing and took the walk. I...
