    Fielding ground balls

    I'm trying to find fun, engaging ways to get my daughter to be better at fielding a ground ball. We're trying to address the "glove not all the way down", but she is a lefty and has been fielding off to the side instead of squaring up to the ball. I know most answers are "practice, practice...

    10U less than six months live pitching

    Sure. By this I mean when I catch for her, if I notice she throws a couple high fast balls, I can call a change up and then go back to a fast ball to help correct down to the strike zone. Just kind of a reset for her. For some reason, she won't "reset" on her own. I've also read that...

    10U less than six months live pitching

    This weekend I asked her several times if she was sore throughout both days and she said no. I think she was more nervous the first tournament of the season with this team and was more rigid and stiff, causing her to strain her muscles more. This tournament she seemed more relaxed between...

    10U less than six months live pitching

    We have our second tournament this weekend. I've gotten a sheet to track her total pitches/strikes/balls/walks/SO. I hope to have a better run down of what she is actually doing. We were trying to stick out this season with the team as all the other teams are filled and some play time is...

    10U less than six months live pitching

    I have a few questions that I'm trying to wrap my head around. First, I'm trying to see what realistic goals my 10YO should be setting. What is a good (and reasonably attainable) strike percentage for her? She has been in lessons for just about a year (with change of pitching coach at least...
