My DD has pitched for 10 yrs. The worst time was at 10u. I learned that most coaches care more about wins than they do about your dd pitching. I know that sounds harsh. They do not care that your dd has worked her butt off with lessons and work at home. The only thing going thru his mind is:" Im going to pull her if she walks 1 more batter or gives up 1 more hit." The 10u coach will usually have more paitence 3 errors by ss or 2 srike outs by 4 hole hitter that a 10 u pitcher walking 3 in a inning. That is why I told my dd at 10 instead of results we are going to look at the effort that was put into the game and focus on the mechanics. For us it paid off.
