Poor sportsmanship

I emailed the writer of the article who basically told me nothing was disclosed by the school and that no mention was made of any discipline for the coach.

Tournaments/Vacation/Team Building

Does anyone have any suggestions for a destination tournament? Somewhere with tourist attractions and/or beaches within ten hours or so of NJ? Looking to head somewhere with a 12u travel team next Summer where they can have fun, yet still play some decent softball on nice fields.

POP times

Really good info, thank you very much. My DD is just finishing her first year at 12U and struggles to throw out a steal of 2nd. But based on her POP times (average 2.4) she certainly isn't too far off the mark. Pitcher's lack of velocity hurts a bit, which is exactly what I was trying to...

POP times

Throwing strikes

My DD has nice motion, and has exceptional velocity for an 11 year old. But she has a problem throwing strikes. Usually misses just inside, just high - is always around the strike zone but just can't seem to pound it. Any drills, games, etc. that focus just on the ability to hit spots - in...
