    Top Gun Player substitution questions

    Thank you for your reply. I really do appreciate it. Per the Exceptions to the rules laid forth they don't observe the Flex player position. I am guessing this is an attempt to simplify the process of substituting.

    Top Gun Player substitution questions

    First travel tournament in the fast ball universe. I have reviewed the information in the NFHS rules book, as well as the exceptions for Top Gun Sports. I have 13 girls on the roster and planning to bat entire roster in the pool games. If I understand the rules correctly then I should be able...

    Practice Advice

    Ahh, I had a feeling I wasn’t needed. I guess I will contact my parents and let ‘em know coach is hanging it up and that their kids will do alright in the yard. I 100% agree that kids need to work at home. But if they can’t hit while at practice how in the heck are they going to hit at home...

    Practice Advice

    Yeh I definitely feel the time crunch. I honestly end up being at practice for around 2 hours anyways as it feels like I am always spending that last bit of time wrapping up with someone. Thanks for the insight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks for the insight. What all do you work on during your 4 hour Saturday practice? As far as your pitchers and catchers do you work with them or do you expect them to go find a coach? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So how do you get hitting work in? I tried to approach it in that way previous seasons and it has bitten me in the butt with kids woefully unprepared to step in the box. Even kids that have private instructors.

    Question for coaches!

    I will take her, lol 2 of my pitchers play short stop and 2 play first base, they rotate with each other. I don’t care what their secondary is. If I like the kid and they work hard and have a lot of heart and push and motivate the team we do the g wiggle and work it out. I want them to play...

    Advice to starting Travel Program

    One of my big concerns is in regards to no one showing up to tryouts lol. I guess I shouldn’t worry about that if it happens it happens, what will be will be you know. So far the program and I have been on the same page with expectations of a season etc. We are fully aiming to be...

    Advice to starting Travel Program

    Thanks, I have 2 pitchers and a catcher (my DD) that currently play with me in rec that I am testing those waters with. Traditionally our rec org has some angst towards travel due to politics between organizations. I just want the kids to play, get better, and be competitive. There is a catcher...

    Advice to starting Travel Program

    Yeh Elite 9, lol. I believe that there is another team called the Palmetto Dragons in the FtMill area as well. I think the girls that were playing just all aged up and no one has stepped up to fill the gap which is what I am trying to do. I know there are numerous 12-14U teams operating in the...
