    DD is having surgery for her mpfl tear on Wednesday and she still wants to do some things during her 4-6 month rehab. Any ideas that she could do?

    DD with knee injury

    Wondering if anyone has gone through what my DD is currently going through? My DD is a freshman in HS and in November she suffered from a partial knee dislocation during basketball.

    What to do

    My DD started high school ball this year and pitches JV. The coaches refuse to call pitches and allows the catcher, who is a novice catcher to call pitches. I've talked to the coach before the season started about this and he still refuses to call pitches or allow a volunteer to call pitches. My...

    Need help/in game cut

    DD has not hit the ball as well as she is capable. I think she needs to let the ball get deeper and keep her front shoulder from opening too soon. Interested in what anybody else thinks she needs to work on and what drills to do. Thanks for your help. Big tourney this weekend...

    Did speed down

    DD started lessons last night and the PC gunned her at 48,48, & 47. She just turned 13 and she was visibly upset since she was gunned last May @ 52,51,&50. She pitched to middle of July and shut it down up until mid September and just threw about once per week. My question is this normal she...

    12u DD struggling

    Wanted to get some feedback on DD's swing and I know this is the place to seek input. DD is not hitting the ball solid the last 2 tournaments and it seems like she is hitting everything at the end of the bat. Any drills advice and what the trained eye of the hitting gurus see would be...

    Not good contact

    I'll try to post a video of her swing when/if it stops raining. However, DD has been hitting the ball at the end of bat and slicing everything. Any suggestions/drills from anyone? Not sure if it is just a matter of letting the ball get deeper or if her front shoulder is opening up too soon. Any...

    Proud bucket dad

    DD just completed her 2nd yr in pitching program and yesterday was testing day. I could tell she was nervous because of the time she put in the last 7 months and wanted to see progress. She is 12 and pitching 14u and in the fall she pitched 45,45, & 46. So I caught for her while the PC gunned...

    What to work on in off season

    My 12u DD has started working on pitching after a couple of months off. I think she needs to work on keeping palm up at 9 for more whip action and not swimming. Any other issues that people see would be much appreciated. Thanks and keep warm with this artic blast!!

    9 yo feedback needed

    Let me start by saying my DD pitched for a 10u traveling and did well for the most part but was inconsistent too. The last tourney her strike/walk ratio was 3:1 which was great. She throws hard, but since the team is moving to 12u next year it will be an adjustment pitching. One thing I want her...
