Different Pitching rules...

Sorry for taking a while to reply, different time zones with me been in Australia, over here in Australia the ISF laws have been adopted and still my girls are the only pitchers we see in female softball here utilising it. Its very taboo and its actually quite heated when raised. I guess everyone for so long were so vigilant on stamping it out when juniors started to show any sign that they were hopping that its hard to change those views.

Maybe not your guy, but Vic pitchers were getting called.



Maybe it's a Victorian thing? It's encouraged very strongly here in WA and the 17s in Tasmania a couple of years back had most of th girls planting.

Victoria for some very strange reason has dropped off massively at that national level. (I grew u with NSW and Vic winning everything) and I'm hearing some good and not so good things about Victoria. If the state coaches are discouraging leaping then that's probably one of the reasons.

Have met some people from WA and they have been good softball people. Had the pleasure of playing with and against Neal Dalpero and what a champion player and person he is I must say. Wish we had people like him over here driving softball...quote]

Neal is the nicest guy. Men and women are really segregated over here but my club is involved with the men's so got to know a lot of the guys.

I know most of the U15 team and some decent quality there. Of the two main pitchers they both leap.
