    Making the tag at home

    My daughter is not making a hard tag, at least not intentionally. The issue is she is not dropping to her knee to make a tag if the runner is obviously not sliding. She does get into an athletic stance, not standing straight up, and makes the tag around the stomach to chest height. Her coach...

    Sportsmanship

    I will go out of my way to congratulate an opposing player for a good play. In the last 3 years my daighter hasn't played against a team where we didn't know someone. Besides that we tell our girls to win and lose like champions, we should coach like ones.

    Umpire directions for my DS

    I too like the ump helping out, however, come talk to the coach or myself first. If there is no interference than there is no issue. My DD moves herself back and forth depending on where the batter is in the box, the only time(s) she has ever been hit is by a thrown bat or 4. I do not think...

    Question on replacing catcher gear

    The two year time frame is due to the possibility that the foam/gel material will start to breakdown, either from use or the naturally. The statement is there just in case something happens you can't go back and sue them. The same thing applies to motorcycle helmets. The frame and shell should...

    Catching lesson in Southern California

    My DD is just moving to 10u. She has been catching since last winterball and loves it. However she really doesn't get much in the way of practice. Can anyone recommend anyone for catching lessons. We are in the Chino Hills/Corona area.
