    Hitting hip and throwing inside

    To me it looks like her arm circle is too far over her head and then also behind her body. This is throwing off the ball path and causing the balls to be thrown inside. When she is hitting her hip, it could also be due to her arm path being too far behind her head, My daughter had this issue...

    Questions to ask and/or things to know when joining a large "national" team

    First and foremost, Id want to do some research to find out who will be the actual coach. Secondly, you mention that the org owner's name is listed on the team name. Is that for the purpose of getting placed on better fields during bigger tournaments?

    Another obstruction, what's your call?

    Looks like a textbook example of how runners can easily bait an obstruction call. It seems to be a very common occurrence in college ball these days that if you nudge or push the defensive player, it will typically get called in your favor.

    Is crow hopping now legal

    I could be wrong, but it seems that this should the critical part here. If the front foot goes even further after landing then obviously its a crow hop. If it doesnt, then it wouldnt be a true crow hop.

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    Typically means that you are looking for a pitcher that is of the caliber to hold their own against teams in bracket play. In our area, pool games typically arent used to seed teams so you can pitch your pitchers that need game reps and let them work through things knowing the game doesnt count.

    Travel Team coaches?

    Have you posted on Facebook groups that you are looking for a team? Im a member of groups in most of those states and they have tons of members. I know Georgia Fastpitch has a few as does the NC and TN pages.
