    Another Glove Slapping Question

    Hi All, I know glove slapping has been covered A LOT. I don't want to re-ignite the debate of is it bad/good/neutral. My daughter is learning to pitch (9 yo), and doing pretty well for her age. Anyway, she does slap the thigh with her glove, not because she thinks it's "cool", but because it...

    Am I wrong ??

    Hi all...I just wanted to get some honest, unbiased opinions about whether I am justified in being pi**ed off. My daughter played 8u for our town "travel" team last summer. It's a small thing...2 tourneys, but it's the first experience for these girls in "competitive" games where wins & losses...

    Initial hand move to properly turn the barrel?

    I am trying to wrap my mind around the "Turn the Barrel" move before I try to teach it to my daughter. I understand the concept of why it works & why it gives early bat speed. What I need a little help with is figuring out what direction the hands should be pulling. I know that the top hand...

    8 yr old DD in cage

    Teaching force outs vs. tag outs to 8u

    Does anybody have a good way to explain to 8u girls when a situation requires a tag out vs. when "just step on the base" is the play to make. My daughter pretty much gets it...not fully, but pretty much, but I think that is from me pestering her with questions & information all the time...but I...

    How to teach extension after contact

    Does anyone have any drills or ideas about how I can teach my daughter to extend after contact? I spent a lot of time getting her to understand the "Power L" at contact and not having an "arm-y" swing. The problem now seems to be that she concentrates on not straightening her arms before...

    Looking for some pointers on my DD's swing

    Hi everyone, I have learned so much from lurking on this forum. There are so many knowledgeable people on here. I was hoping some of you could look at my 7 yr. old daughter's swing & let me know what you think we should be working on. Part of me doesn't want to get too technical since she's...
