    Trouble finding players

    And I believe I’m doing everything I can to find girls. Posting on local Fastpitch sights, Facebook, asking parents to reach out, going to league games to ask parents. I’m not sure what more I can do. I love the girls I have but also, parent are shelling out money for a team that may not exist...

    Trouble finding players

    Hello, Just needing some advise. I am the head coach of a 12u first year team. I am having trouble finding a full roster because we are not a national organization or don’t quite have the credentials yet. I have 5 girls who are committed, did have 6 but she quit today as “the fall season hasn’t...

    Tryout season ugggh!!!

    I provided much knowledge on my skill set however, I’m not going to give girls instruction on what they need to do when I’m assessing their skill set during a tryout. I give encouragement and empowerment but for me, instruction doesn’t really need to take place during a tryout. If you have 50...

    Tryout season ugggh!!!

    Well I sure wish parents would tell me if they were there just to “workout” or see what tryouts are like. I’m trying to build a team so essentially, it’s wasting my time when I set up a private tryout. Just simply frustrating! More power to you coaches that have done this for many years. Sent...

    Tryout season ugggh!!!

    So as a new 12u coach, I’m discovering how much this process sucks. I’ve literally had a parent decline a offer after a tryout because “I don’t feel like my kids would get the instruction she needs.” How can you determine what level of instruction your daughter would get from me through a tryout...

    Well I’ll have to look up the wasserman methods. I’m sure I’ll know the drills if I saw them but by name I’m clueless. I’m just realizing there’s so much the girls will need to learn but you are right, I don’t need to know everything. I’m going to be transparent with my girls and parents as well...

    Very helpful! I’m going to start working on my practice schedule now. For 12u B level, how long is good enough for practice? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thank you! I need to figure out how to keep practice moving and various drills to run. I know how the 11/12 year old girls mind works and I will be vigilant of other girls being excluded. Thank you for that advice. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
