At 10u, success is spelled by strikes and strike outs. If they strikle the batter out they were successful, if not they werenot successful winning that little battle in the war.
A pitcher becomes great by defeating great hitters. That applies to every age, even adults. If they face only mediocre batters, the pitchers will not progress as quickly as they could.
My team started practicing a few months befor the other teams. Come first tourney, we were ready for battle and the others were not.
When it comes to booties gettin kicked at tournaments, ''It is much better to give than to receive'.
Now that I have said that, I have always believed in accuray AND speed being taught at the same time. Going out and pitching hard and hoping accuracy will follow soon after,,, that does NOT make for a pitcher with confidence.
