Anyone use baseballs in practice?
Softballs are harder than a wool wound and cork core baseball. Softballs carry more energy due to their mass.- CoachGene72

A revelation.
Cut your losses now. Bad effort and attitude only hurt a team, parent or athlete. Had to cut a parent with bad attitude already this year, wish we had tryouts for parents too.- CoachGene72

RVP for Other Sports?
I don't see why it couldn't. I use it for many things with my team and my children when they are messing around. Effective and fun tool.- CoachGene72

Pitching signs
I agree GM, I try to teach DD and her catchers how to call a game. They have a better view of blues strike zone than the coaches in the dug out. The catcher should be the coach on the field directing traffic.- CoachGene72
