I'm in the process of converting my daughter also (10 year old catcher). In 3 months there has already been a substantial improvement in the strength of her throws. She understands where she needs to get the ball to prior to forward movement of the arm, but she doesn't always do it yet...
Nice!! I have a 10U catcher myself, and in our first scrimmage of the season the other day, she executed a very technically sound right side block. I couldn't contain myself. She was very excited too. I'm just glad she's finally trying the blocks. As I have always preached to her, you will...
There's a huge difference between a GREAT defensive catcher, and a catcher that simply doesn't make mistakes. GREAT defensive catchers are very few and far between.
I also have a 10 year old daughter that I work heavily with on her swing. One of the best cue's I have ever given her that actually solved multiple issues (including hands dropping) is....

Since there is some discussion in this post about NECC's concepts in general.......

Regarding throwing hand...
sb03dad,
Thanks for the feedback. I hope she will. She's improving every day. We haven't ventured into the level of comp we'll see there yet, but based on the concepts she's been learning, I think she'll do well. Good luck to your daughter as well. As much as she's been exposed to NECC...
We were at this camp as well. And I'll have to echo everything said above. It was hands down the best camp my child has ever attended. Specifically for the technical aspects of it. And the step by step way in which Jay, Kevin, and Mason taught and then FIXED, before moving on. I took about...

We are seeking a good utility player with travel ball experience, a great knowledge of the game, and a big bat. We would...

I'm a 10U rec coach and we're facing the same situation this week in the 2nd game of our playoffs. We faced this pitcher once earlier in the season and the girls were really scared of her. I believe we only put 3 balls in play. She will walk some batters if we're patient, but a lot of the...
