Does your job have a loading dock? Bownet, tee, and a bucket of balls. Go to town. Honestly, With a bow net, tee and some tennis balls, She can work outside except for the coldest days. I would suggest an aluminum bat, not the composite tho.
Perhaps this should be posted in hitting, but , I think it is more of a general query. Sunday DD and I went to the field to do some hitting/fielding. After the first bucket of soft toss, this sore showed up on her left hand (right handed batter, bottom hand) She wears gloves, and I thought it...
My DD is a catcher, who did pitch when we were still coaching Rec ball (she did it then, because no one else could). Fast forward to the HS season, and the JV pitcher gets the flu. DD says, "I can Pitch"! Well, Long story short, she got her first (only?) HS win in the first game she has...
We Were at the Under Armour tourney in Sanford last month, and one of the Vendors set up a contraption , on a tripod, behind home. It measured (he told me) pitch speed, and bat speed. If the Umpire was not in the way of the release, the catchers throw speed as well. Kinda a cool setup 5 inch...
My book would show E, with no player/position listed. More for the coach to remember what happened. Had we been at bat, an error as well, and a note asking why she was not standing on second afterwards.
I have been saying for years. As soon as my DD is done playing HS Ball, I am going to try to become an ump. Hopefully, my experience from the stands and the dugout, will give me a better starting point than some of the folks we see on a regular basis.
It is time that I buy a real HD video camera. I really do not want to spend more than 500, including any add ons (I probably will in the future, but I need to start somewhere.) Has there been a thread covering this, that I couldn't find, or is there a good resource for comparing what would...
Got told one weekend "No" by the manager, for the same tourney that the Coaches kid picked up for. Manager said it was against the organization rules, I guess for some.
I believe you have nailed it on the head. I do have a request, not only of you, but all. Please, when you bring up a tourney, mention a city. I have seen posts, without, and had to wonder if we were at the same games. I know naming names of teams would probably be out of line, but if the...
We have one, Make sure you anchor it well (Indoors, maybe some sandbags?) Our (her) only complaint is that we cannot use her good bat with it, and the Aluminium practice bat isn't balanced the same. As to the bouncing, I have seen 10-12 swings in a row without that problem. However, IMHO...
Yes we are. Been waiting since the first time we had a lesson with Lindz, for her to take a team under the umbrella. Now, I guess I need to introduce myself the next time we are in the same place. I'll be the fat guy with the scorebook.
ATTN: SHAMELESS DAD BRAG FOLLOWS.
Today, while the kiddo was getting a break from behind the plate, she was tasked with handling Second. Caught a liner, doubled a kid off first. BUT wait, there is more! next inning. Bunt, Corners Crash, She covers first 3B fields it, tossing it to 1 (with kiddo...
If the sanctioning body has a date, regardless of what it is, Every team must follow the rule. I am not sure why you thought just because a team was from out of state the rules were different. (why do I have a feeling I responded to this exact same question, the exact same way, last year?)
But, This is where having a child who also excelled in Academics, comes into play. Sure, there might only be a 40% Softball offer, But when they roll out the other enticements, some decisions become really easy.
I am a Jan 1 kid. I competed in Summer Track and for the life of me I cannot remember how it affected participation.
But, the DD is a June kid, and I joked about "red-shirting" her for kindergarten, as to make her have one more year to develop physically. I am so glad DW was not allowing...
