    Fundraising

    Here is what our 12 & 14U teams did last year together. We went to our local printing and got them to donate flyers and the local grocery store to donate charcoal and BBQ sauce. Each girl got a stack of flyers in which we pre-sold slabs of ribs. They sold for $15 each. Each slab profited $8...

    How should a pitcher handle this?

    My daughter would throw her a drop ball about 48 mph and make the poor batter look stupid.

    Two Finger

    My daughter throws 80% 2 seams. She uses her middle and ring finger on the seams, with forefinger and pinky to thed sides. She has some very wicked movement using this pitch. She did not like the feel of the ball at first, but once she started seeeing the results of the pitch she now uses it all...

    12u pitcher (11 years old) - What suggestions/comments do you have

    Well not too bad. She leans a little forward, but the MOST important thing you have to teach this girl is to follow through her arm after the pitch. She is stopping her arm 95% of the time in the video and if she keeps this up she is insuring herself a shoulder surgery in a few years. I teach...

    How many times per week does your daughter practice pitching?

    My daughter is 14 and has pitched for 3 years. She hurls 5 days a week with Fridays and Sundays off until tourney time. Pitching sessions are 100-120 pitches.

    Hot bats?

    My daughter uses a Demarini Pitch Black. It is one of the best bats on the planet.

    Slapping

    So at least 1 foot has to be in the box?

    Slapping

    I have seen this done so many different ways that I really want to know the correct rule on this. My question is "Do your feet HAVE to be inside the batters box when you make contact with the ball"? I have seen a lot of girls slap from the left side and I know they make contact with the ball out...

    Base Running/Taking a lead

    Man that is a great video. Thank you!!

    Base Running/Taking a lead

    I really think you have to teach both styles. It will depend on the count and how good the pitcher as to which style they use at the time. Also depends on how good the catcher is. I personally like the shuffle approach, but that is just me.

    Bunting question

    Good point on the second hit. Makes sense.

    Bunting question

    I was told that when bunting it is legal to bunt the ball and drop the bat directly in front of the plate and run. I was told this was to stop a ball with backspin from rolling back to the plate and foul. Was I told correctly?

    softball pitching mat (make one or buy one?)

    Pitching Mat Here is what I have did for my daughter and now I just made 3 more for my team. I went to a local gravel quarry and they gave me some conveyor belt. I cut it into 8-9 ft sections and screwed a pitching mound to it. Works great!! Sure beats paying $200 for one. I went to the local...
