    Change UP

    We warm up with our change up and we warm down with the change up, every practice. I know your looking for more drills , but try and do the ones you do now perfect. Five feet , ten feet, on back. Add in circle when you get so far back. Perfection is the key (at any distance). We mainly throw...

    Pre-motions; The 'Fireman's Ladder'

    My dd uses a frontload del. Its not that hard to change how far up you go, in what hal is calling the ladder, and how fast you do it. Our Del. starts at the same spot, at the waist, so her timing is still the same. If we have a girl screwing around in the box ,she can pitch without going up the...

    Sacoriliac Joint pain causes

    My dd had an mri back in 12 u and they didnt find anything. After alot of reading and trial and error i found that her glute medial wasnt firing, which is the muscle that supports the hip when your foot is off the ground. She was just out of balance, letting the hips shift to much. I will check...

    Sacoriliac Joint pain causes

    My dd has pain in her sacoriliac joint. It happened once before in 12 u and did exercises to take care of pain. Now two years later it is back again and we are working on her exercises again. Her body gets very out of balance. I was wonder if there is something in her motion that i should look...

    shaved bats in girl's softball

    I also read the thread on heybucket. Does anybody know what , if any the sound of an illlegal bat sounds like. Girl hit two out on dd tonight and never heard a comp. bat sound like it. I thought the ball hit off the end cap each time. This swing looked really slow for the distance. The bat was...

    Stumped

    I know what you mean. Had some girls at a travel practice, new to our team and they were doing this drill. They dont do it now. As for high school my dd is a freshman and the varsity pitcher. Bugs me everytime i see him showing them this, since he doesnt throw this way. Im just waiting till my...

    Stumped

    On a side note ,Chris i was the one who posted the question on the turn your hand backwards drill. My dd s high school coach is still insiting the girls do this. My dd does her best not to do it when his not looking. The other day he ask the girls if there arms were sore, all of them raised...

    Stumped

    I think Chris is right. She needs more of a stride while staying turned sideways. The biggest thing i see, unless you were tell her not to throw hard, and im not trying to be rude, is a lack of desire to throw hard. The arm looks good to me, its the lower half not providing any power. Have her...

    2nd year 12u pitching have a look

    Tojo you start your girls off with a bulletspin fastball ? I think you said that in another tread. I totaly agree with you on girls throwing breaking pitches at that age. My dd was ave. 25.5 on a revfire for all pitches at 12. I dont care how fast you throw the ball its going to move with that...

    9 Year Old - Take a look

    When pitching off of a gym floor its hard not to leap. When you get outside on some dirt it wont be as bad. My dd got hurt throwing on gym floor by draging to much. She looks really good for her age.

    Illegal pitching? A survey

    My only complaint is when the ump starts calling IPs when there is a hole big enough to lose somebody in , in front a the pitching rubber. The more your kicking the other teams butt the more they want a leap called. I beleive the girl in the 3rd vid has alittle bit of a hole in front of the...

    Curing the beginner 'shot put' throw

    This may sound simple, but i have had girls get about 15 feet from fence turn them sideways and throw like baseball pitcher. High leg kick , push and throw. I tell them to throw as hard as they can into fence and dont worry about where it goes so much. Make sure they reach back everytime and...

    Throwing drill

    My problem with this drill is a girl is much weaker in the arms than boys plus they are throwing a heavier ball. If you just try turning your hand while going foward it makes elbow drop and tuck. I also have girls show ball to third base but its more like front of coaches box at third just...
