I was wondering if anyone had a list of things that you would share for new coach to use as guidelines.
Some things come to mind
1 Meet girls in dugout before practice instead of sitting in parking lot talking with other dads
2. Have written lesson plan for the practice
3. Team building...
Are there rules associated with the age of a batting helmet and at some point it needs to be taken out of service for either USSsA or national coaches fastpitch Association. I know in construction and hardhat times out after 5 years.
High-school ball has started and yesterday DD1 a senior is starting at short as usual and DD2 a sophomore is starting pitcher. Batting line up they are one and two. Both stole a few bases along the way.
Seeing them on the field playing together and then listening to them talk afterwards was a...
Anyone ever use a Louisville Slugger Personal Sports Radar-I like the idea of a screen and feedback on every pitch.

Favor please. I bought softball power drive from another parent.I went to their web page to see how to use it properly. There is a owners only training page that requires log in information. Could someone please PM me that info?
Thanks
My daughter accidently stepped on the handle of my radar gun and broke the parts that hold on the end cap. Any suggestions on getting fixed. I fear it will cost more to fix than replace if I send it in.
Thanks
Good Morning
I catch my daughter for practice during the week or off season and am looking or a glove with more padding. I have heard do many different ideas that my head it spinning. I have rheumatoid arthritas and a little less hand slap is important to me. So -RH throw, man hand, padding...
DD's season ended this week and after 8 months I could tell the intensity was waning the last month. We did 76 games this year. We are going to take a couple months off. She is going to play HS Tennis and then we will get into it again. Sometimes we forget these are just kids and they need to...
I have worked with my DD and in practice we have good form and speed. In games she pitches noticebly slower and drags her foot kind of sideways instead of with the toe down. Almost like two totally different pitchers. I can live with the foot/toe but the much slower is the one that bothers me...
My DD's team comes up against a riseball pitcher and they really struggle. Other than that the team hits .300 overall. Can you give me some tips to share with them? Thanks
R1 on 3B, R2 and 2B. 1 Out. Huge fly ball to center. Fielded cleanly. R1 tags and advances home. R2 leaves a little early and after the play ends with R2 at 3B the coach contests and ump calls runner out.
So now the inning is over. Question is does the run count that R1 scored crossing home...
I saw an add for a video tape promoting a new pitch called the triple pitch tonight. Promoted by Jerry Johnson
I saw short video clip and looks like a drop/curve. I cannot believe there is anything new these days besides marketing hype. Any thoughts.
Today was a sad day for me and and girls. We attended a funeral for one of the parents of other girls on the softball team that was sent to heaven on the way home after a game last week. Lots of tears and hugs. The church was packed and the team came as a group wearing their uniforms.
