    Who gets the error??

    I guess this is the problem with scoring errors. When does a mental error translate into an error in the score book? If you are playing at the 12uA level, and a girl lets an easy ground ball go between her legs, I would say she made a mental error, that also equals an error in the book. As the...

    What do you see?

    It looks like she starts to transfer her weight correctly onto her front side, but then leans forward and bends at the waist. As she tries to straighten her upper body it causes her to shift her weight back onto her back foot, resulting in the squish. I think you need to fix the bending and...

    Who gets the error??

    There was no diving involved. It was a high pop fly that should have been an easy catch. They both probably deserve an error for not communicating with each other!:(

    Who gets the error??

    No outs, nobody on. Short infield pop fly dropping 4 feet in front of the baseline, in the 3-4 gap. Pitcher is going back to make the catch, second is moving in to make the catch, neither one calls the ball. Both sense the collision coming at the last second, pitcher stops, ball goes in to...

    Zepp Swing Analyzer

    I got mine for Christmas, and after some use I can say this is a must have. It will allow you to track an entire team, and the girls seem to respond to the 3d visual better then slow motion video. Proper setup is key, but once that is done its very easy to use, as long as you understand what...

    12U Playing Up At 14U

    Metal cleats. We played 14u teams to get ready for nationals, and this was the single biggest concern from the girls on our team.

    So happy today

    Amy, Looking at the pics there was only one spot that could have been hit and have everyone walk away. There was obviously someone watching over them, and you may have cashed in all your good karma points for awhile! Glad they are all safe, count your blessings and then figure out how to get...

    Hit by line drive yesterday.

    My daughter started wearing her mask when she started pitching in 8u. In a rec league of over 300 girls, she was the only one. My wife and I talked to her about it and helped her prepare for the comments and questions she was going to receive. Her favorite was "why do you wear that mask, are you...

    Hit by line drive yesterday.

    First, let me expand on that. I spent quite a bit of time explaining to them the benefits of a mask. Second, they are children. When it comes to safety issues it is our responsibility to guide them to make the right choices. Every single girl on my team has seen first hand the benefit of...

    Hit by line drive yesterday.

    On our 12u travel team I give the girls the option. If you want to play ANY infield position, you wear a mask. If you don't want to wear one, no problem, I won't be playing you in the infield. 100% of them choose to wear it.

    I'm being a wuss right now

    How about a mani and a pedi while your at it? Getting old sucks. We started playing dads against the girls games on some Sundays. I don't know which hurts worse, trying to get out of bed the next morning, or getting beat by them 2 games in a row.

    This coach gets it.

    "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." You have three kids in the article who say they knew stuff was going on, but did nothing. One was a team captain. Based on his statements now, seems like he may have learned that being captain doesn't mean you...

    Rose olored Glasses and The Elephant in the Room

    Lets see, we have a video of a drill, not an actual swing, and a grainy video of a tee shot. 37 pages later and it looks like the only person who has gained anything from this is perfect circle, who now knows that the way he was trying to clean up his .Gifs he was dropping frames. And then we...
