41 to 0
IMO, there is a fine line between rubbing it in and just being a significantly better team. I'd think 41-0 is probably over that line. I mean when its 30-0 and the coach is still screaming to round third, go go go go, get down. Seems like even a jerk would realize that that is ridiculous.- LadybacksCoach

8u hitting drills
Honestly for 8U players, we've discovered that the tee is the best teaching tool. Once I got my DD swinging with proper form her hits have been much more solid and she understands her swing now.

So, how is your softball hangover today (Monday)?

How do you deal with parents....
I see why people are giving you greif because you have sent a mixed message. Pitcher 1 pitches 1st inning, Pitcher 2 pitches 2nd inning, Pitcher 3 pitches 3rd inning, but then you steered from that. Wouldnt just be weird if a coach made in game adjustments. [sarcasm]. People here keep talking...- LadybacksCoach

Where to being building a well rounded player?
The advice I was given regarding pitching, if you dont know how to pitch - dont try to coach them to pitch. Get out the wallet and pay a professional. Pitching is technical and for maximum effectiveness takes a lot of coaching.- LadybacksCoach

Softball Coach Interview
1. What made you decide to go into coaching? Was a parent in tee-ball, very frustrated with lack of coaching when "fundamentals" was stressed. 2. What is your coaching philosophy? Have fun, learn the game, put girls in the best position to win. 3. How important is winning? Obviously its...- LadybacksCoach

Transition from Machine to Live Pitching.
First of all, I'm new.. Glad I found a forum to bounce ideas off of. All suggestions are welcome. My team will be moving from the machine pitch league to live pitching in Fall (potential), next Spring (for sure). Besides the obvious rule differences and pitching / catching responsibilities...- LadybacksCoach
