    Placement of foot in front of the rubber

    Not if the ball of the foot is on the rubber.

    Player Age when 1 grade lower

    From the link you posted. This might have something to do with the baseball side. Notes: Little League baseball’s birthday cutoff was August 1 when this cohort of players entered that system, but changed to May 1 several years ago. 2011-12 NCAA Division I first-year student-athletes...

    Player Age when 1 grade lower

    You completely missed my point. Birthdates in any particular grade can and do span far greater than any particular 12 month period . It's a fallacy to think that the kids in a particular grade are all born within the same 12 month period. That might have worked 50 years ago, but it's not...

    Player Age when 1 grade lower

    See Malcolm Gladwell. I was giving daywalker a hard time because he said that most college player birthdays come from 8 months of the year. Basically, the theory (and reality) goes that when kids are in 8u or 10u, older kids (those born in the 1st few months of the year) get selected for the...

    Ages of children will span a 2 year time period in any given class, especially as more and more children redshirt kindergarten. This is a silly thing to chase.

    This would be for recruiting purposes. They play on all the right fields. Have D1 commits on the rosters.

    Questions to ask and/or things to know when joining a large "national" team

    we are aware of the schedule, but have not discussed org fees yet. I do expect them to be at least 3x what we're paying now.

    Questions to ask and/or things to know when joining a large "national" team

    Daughter, a junior (and not a pitcher if that matters), is currently being wooed by a couple of the large national teams - the flagship teams where the org owner/creator is always listed as the coach. What are some questions to ask before accepting, or maybe just some things to know that might...

    Is crow hopping now legal

    Back leg lands first and knee flexes rearward. That's an illegal replant 100% of the time. But as everyone has noted, it will never be called. Despite what umpires claim, it's very easy to see in real time, but too bad!
