Interested to hear any input.

If she plays every weekend and has 2 team practices during the week that she pitches at and 1 lesson every or every other week, that should be plenty. There will be plenty of time at 16U and 18U/Gold to burn her out.
Can't tell if you're serious or being sarcastic!
Believe it or not, I am serious. If a kid is on a 14U TB team and the pitchers work out at team practices a couple times per week and plays every weekend she is getting enough pitching time IMO.
A kid who is 16-18 years old and very serious about playing college ball will probably want to pitch 6 days per week. I've seen many at this point get burned out and decide pitching isn't for them.
Ok, that's what I thought. I concur with your 14U schedule, that's where we are atOriginally Posted by Coach-n-Dad
It's important to take the time to work on each pitch individually. She probably isn't getting the chance to do this if she's just pitching in practice and games. I realize that she's pitching a lot in games, so you may figure, "she's good enough", but "good enough" depends entirely on her goals. Assess her goals and then devise a healthy but productive plan to achieve those. Winning 16u tournaments is not an important milestone.

1x per week with PC also.
PC time is to get assessment and homework of what to work on during the week. You have to do the homework to make the PC time worthwhile. PC time isn't practice time.
