  1. About Them

    DD's teacher...had to share this

    Cannonball, thank you!!
  2. About Them

    MY Tshirt prototype.

    I'm not sure how well that would go over at an Exposure Tourney, but if it adds 3-4 mph to DD's fastball...I'm in.

    Share your pitchers warm up routine? (stretching??)

    I guess I'm lucky. DD (and other pitchers on her 16u travel team) take pitching warm ups quite seriously. They've all been through the nagging pains. Her coach is the opposite....does not dictate how they warm up (as pitchers). All three of them want to go D1 and have parents like me who let...

    Share your pitchers warm up routine? (stretching??)

    Get a lesson with Bill Hillhouse. He watched my DD pitch for about 5 minutes and asked "do you get sore from pitching?". A few adjustments and that was the last time she was sore in the shoulder. As far as warmups go, they will change over time as the focus of her pitching changes (spins...

    Turf is killing shoes

    Asics volleyball shoes. DD swears by them and won't pitch indoors with anything else. Usually good for 2+ years (depending on growth).

    Bill Hillhouse.....COME BACK!!!!

    DD had lesson with Bill this past weekend....didn't know/couldn't tell that he had been sick with the exception of his rapidly failing humor. I just wish there were more pitching gurus around like him. Thanks for coming to Chicago (Oswego) Bill!!

    15U Wheatland Spikes (Naperville/Aurora, Il) looking to add pitcher or outfielder

    Spikes looking for 14-16 y/o pitcher (looking to get quality innings) or outfielder
  8. About Them

    USSSA Elite team

    I actually think (along with a lot of other coaches) that USSSA is more for 14u and under (primarily B teams). ASA has been rapidly usurped by PGF, drawing far better competition than Utrip can muster. Talk to the talking heads of Utrip and they'll tell you that their organization is for B level...

    The 15U Wheatland Spikes (Van de Graf) is looking to add a quality starting pitcher or outfielder. We play primarily PGF and ASA. Indoor training 2x/week. Summer schedule includes Compuware Classic, PGF Midwest Showcase, and multiple PGF tourneys. Contact Coach Chris at vande77.spikes@gmail.com
  10. About Them

    Bringing in a good pitcher to sub

    If you do that in Illinois, the player gets suspended (if not rostered properly)
  11. About Them

    USSSA World Series (Orlando)

    Tip: Get there EARLY for opening ceremonies (parking lot gets full fast). We'll be there for the 13U (Cals Angels)

    Jennie Finch Camp Reviews?

    I definitely agree with the above statement. My DD did it last August and learned nothing when it came to pitching (although we learned a lot about the windmill from doug). Bustos was awesome, but with so many kids the hands-on gets lost and the information watered down. Came home with some...

    Runner on 2nd giving pitch location

    Even though I really doubt you need to let your hitters know where the pitch location is vs rec all star/travel team, doing this is what you have done all year. I wouldn't want my team to play differently based on the level of competition. I hope the other coach learned something from a 14U A team.

    P downed by line drive, play stopped

    14y/o DD just got hers last week and threw 7 innings the other night. According to her, she didn't notice it at all...zero discomfort (has the rib pads too).

    "A line drive straight to my face" By Ashley Pais

    Cannonball, I believe this is the best (should be the final) response to the OP.
