    I/R in the Classroom

    BM, what do you think about using a disk frisbee to get kids to conceptualize how to turn the forearm and wrist toward the LH batter? Since the frisbee is flat, it is easy to see how it rotates through the motion.

    10U speed vs accuracy vs experiece

    There is no coach pitching but they do have a dropped third strike steal 1st rule. I think it is supposed encourage kids to take some swings, but it is a lot for them to keep track of. You can also steal home and mercy 5 run rule is in place.

    All good, I came here for perspective. If they came back, I'd give them innings. That is what is great about a forum, frank opinions with no confrontations.

    10U speed vs accuracy vs experiece

    Well folks, it has been a super difficult coaching week. Some parents are definitely frustrated with my incompetence. Can't say I blame them as I have been on the other side. What is enlightening is seeing the difficulty on the coaching side. I did lose a couple kids this week, but we...

    10U speed vs accuracy vs experiece

    10U speed vs accuracy vs experiece

    How do I help them with mechanics without changing what they already have learned? Also, where is a good source of 10u mechanics that is somewhat universal?

    10U speed vs accuracy vs experiece

    Two parents stepped in as first time coaches in 10U fall ball. After our first 4 games, I wanted to focus on pitching more. We had two experienced pitchers who need improvement in control. I tried to crack down on accuracy and asked players to demonstrate some commitment to accuracy and they...
