    End of season parent complaints!

    nanotech14 why do you feel the need to bash on me? HA HA HA! I can take it though. Question for ya? Do you or have you ever coached a team? Or are you one of those parents that bring DD to practice and sit in the stands and then when you and DD get home you tell DD to do it your way? Or do you...

    All I hear is " keep your back elbow up" and "level swing"

    Nanotech14 No offense taken. But a little to what you said about "coach is lost and does not know what they are doing". You can talk to 100 different coaches and they all will tell you 100 different ways to do everything. All I was trying to get across is that what I have seen. I have seen the...

    Moving up from 10u to 12u

    IMO move her up! I did this year with my daughter who just turned 11 last week! Coached a 12U TB team and it was one heck of a improvement on her game all the way around. Now she will stay on the 12U for another 2 to 3 years and be able to dominate. Same thing with a few other girls that where...

    All I hear is " keep your back elbow up" and "level swing"

    Level swing by meaning not chopping at the ball. Every GIRL I have ever seen that has the elbow up, first thing that drops is the elbow,then the shoulder and so on, if they are relaxed in the upper body and open the hips that is where the power comes from. MLB? Thought this was Softball...

    End of season parent complaints!

    Thanks 02Crush! And thank you to everyone who replied. After having a couple days to cool off I am with 02Crush, I will continue to do what I know how to do and if parents do not like it they can "kick Rocks". It was a ton more complicated through the season than I could have wrote on my...

    All I hear is " keep your back elbow up" and "level swing"

    IMO the girls cannot have a level swing if the elbow is up! That is the first thing that drops, then they tend to "chop" at the ball. If they are relaxed in the upper body and open up the hips and have the elbows go first the rest will follow the level swing. Parents need to have another hot dog...

    End of season parent complaints!

    What a year! This is my first year in a ASA/TB team 12U. I have to say it is the best league around here. I have coached for 6 years in little league and this year the parents have been the worst I have ever had! I brought 5 girls over from Little League that I have coached the 3 years. 2 of...

    A Softball dad's confession (My personnal experiance)

    I agree with you redhotcoach! Have the same little demon in my head! Great post. I coach a 12U team along with my DD playing on the team and she is a 10 year old and as tall as a 14 year old. So I have it double hard! My DD give 110% all of the time weather practicing on the field or off the...

    Player problem! Need advise..

    Thanks everyone... I am 100% sure it is not the health issue. As of lately I have talked with player and her mother and basically had her choose either she is playing for the team or is not... she is having a way better attitude and will continue to play!

    Two Lookback Ruling Questions

    From my understanding just having it explained to me by a UIC on the field the other day at a game is this (it was a little heated discussion I might add but a good one), Once the runner gets to that base and pitcher has the ball the runner either if she is "rounding" off to steel to a base or...

    Player problem! Need advise..

    Have a player that is/was a really decent player. To start off she had a great attitude and never complained, she is a okay pitcher and a great 3rd base always stopped the ball, very aware of what is going on in games etc. The past two weeks she has had a horrible attitude and bringing down the...
