    School me on D3 softball

    It's been a few months but I thought I should check back in on how the process has gone for DD over the last few months. As someone mentioned, it has been a roller coaster ride, but I think she is trying to enjoy the process and understands that she is lucky enough to even be talking seriously...

    School me on D3 softball

    Thanks for asking. She has been to two D3 campuses and she loved both, one more than the other. Both coaching staffs talked like they wanted her and they were both great. Both campuses were beautiful and both had awesome facilities. She is a pitcher and one of the coaches said they are always...

    Increasing velocity

    I'd be curious to hear from some of you about what you use in the off season to build pitching velocity? I'm looking for specifics. Do you just do long throwing? If so, how many, from what distance and how many times a week? How long should it take to get through a workout? Weighted ball? How...

    is it time to pitch ??

    Aleados, I'm 42 and I just learned to pitch over the winter. Don't get me wrong, its not like Im real good, but I can get it across the plate. I have two daughters who pitch, and I thought it might help if I went through some of the same things they did in learning. It can be very humbling...
