    Outfielding tips?

    Someone can correct me if I am wrong, but since you are a player asking, you deserve a good response. This is what I want my players to do as a high school coach... If you are an upperclassmen, make it your purpose to make the outfield a single unit. All outfielders make agressive plays. If...

    Why do i not like school coaching

    I coach HS and TB. There is good information here but it's not the only place to get good information. I don't contribute much because I don't want to get involved in the bickering on the hitting forum and I certainly don't consider myself an expert Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

    Maddie's New Legs

    Lenski, they are not really wide, they just are a bit deeper. I guess that is the best way for me to describe them, front to back. They could fit my DD's baby giraffe legs better but they didnt seem as wide as some of the other brands. The Slim Jim in drain pipe is a fair comparison.

    Maddie's New Legs

    DD is 14, 5'7" (at the time of the pictures) and very thin. She has the 15.5" System 7, the Vela were too short. System 7 works great for her. She has the white chest protector and Schutt(Vegas) helmet to help with heat Sorry I cant figure out how to rotate the picture on here

    Somewhat Different Collision at Home Plate

    If the runner going home goes out of her way to take out the player at home, could it also be interpreted as runner interference? Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk

    creative use of DP/FLEX?

    Same idea but if she reaches a base you can also enter your flex to run (reducing your line up to 9). You have 1 re-entry left for both players, plus you still have your sub available. She will still only be able to bat twice if she reaches a base and you use the flex or sub as a runner. I use...

    What role do coaches play in building self confidence

    "Coaches on my daughter’s team said building confidence was the job of the parents and players and not that of the coach." As a coach and also working in a classroom of kids with behavioral disorders, this is not exactly what I would tell my players but close (depending on the age). I don't...

    Back to work and open stance

    They should rotate on heal plant. It appears, on the front view, your dd is rotating before toe touch. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

    Back to work and open stance

    FWIW, Just briefly scanning the thread, I would suggest having her getting her toe down , then heal to start her forward rotation movement with her hips. A little more resistance from her lead leg may help a lot with the sequence. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk

    Schutt, wilson pro motion or the new easton mako cathers gear?

    We mix matched a new set. My dd is tall an thin so a set won't fit well. All Star legs and chest (different sizes) and Schutt helmet. The helmet just came in today and is the best I have seen.

    Question: How to dry a softball field?

    We just installed drain tile on 2 diamonds. It is working great for us.

    bunt defense question

    What age group? You may be able to get away with it at younger ages. I have seen a lot of younger teams not cover 3rd well and the runner immediately advances 2 bases, because the LF, C or 3B doesn't cover. I would also recommend your runners to look to see if anyone covers 3rd in the same...

    Players with diabetes

    Michael, you and your children are type 1 diabetic? I was very sick at age 30 and became type 1 diabetic. Although I was relieved to find out I had something manageable, I have struggled to stay as active as I would like. After dealing with it myself I feel for the young ones that have it. Some...

    Is that the right move??

    Is there a schedule difference between the two teams? Is a weaker schedule going to help her grow? Could she face batters by playing in a rec league also? What would she be sacrificing, by turning down the opportunity to play with a better team?

    What to do with a player...

    FWIW, I have coached 10u for a few years...I agree with 2B or RF if she is a good feilder and you believe that she would be a great OFer I see a lot more hits to the right side of the field at this age. 2B will get more feilding experience and RF will get more OF experience including secondary...
