    Looking for a tournament with a lot of games guaranteed...????

    I have never heard of a tournament with18 gg in a one week time frame. A few years back, my DDs played in a fall "tournament" where they played doubleheaders each weekend for 6 weeks and then had playoffs. The organization that ran it called it a tournament, when in fact, it was a league...

    Former players as PC

    In your experience....Do PCs that have played at higher levels in college make better PCs than players that have played at lower levels in college? What do you think?

    Most absurd thing a coach ever said

    We were at a 12u tournament this weekend and there was a game on the field that we were going to play on next. This young lady crushes a ball into the right-center field gap. The catcher is positioned in front of home plate, giving the runner a clear path to the plate. The relay home is a few...

    Pretty good inning

    Earlier this year, I saw an awesome display from a catcher from another town against one of the 12u teams from my town. Runner on first...straight steal...thrown out by at least 3 steps. Batter at the plate walks...WP and the ball squibs away... runner goes, C picks up ball throws a strike to...

    Travel Ball- Maybe?

    It all depends on what you and your daughter are looking to get out of it. If your goal is to get better, you need to (among other things): 1. Play with better players 2. Play against stronger competition 3. Have good coaching 4. Practice often at home In my opinion, if your DD has a...

    Illegal Pitch?

    Last night, the home plate umpire came over after the first half of the first inning of a 12u game to let HC and I know that my DD was pitching illegally (he didn't call an IP and said that he wasn't going to call one on her, but wanted to let us know that others will call it going forward)...

    TCS East Coast Summer Nationals

    Anyone going to Myrtle Beach, SC in August (8/1 to 8/4) for the TCS East Coast Summer Nationals? DD is first year 12u. Question for the veterans out there....anything specific we need to know? I don't want to go there and be surprised with something. The website mentions something about pin...

    What would you do?

    Just to be clear, I am a novice when it comes to pitching. Reading the rules from the various organizations, is it possible to interpret the wording in another way? Is it possible that "the wrist not farther than the elbow" refers to that the wrist can not be farther out at release than the...

    Developing players vs. discouraging others

    I apologize in advance for the long post. Some background: our league evaluates kids in January and then, based on the ratings, splits the teams up as evenly as possible for the season. All skill levels are on each team - from the first time players to the more talented kids. All year, I...

    Learning curve ball

    My DD's catcher takes her hand out of her glove because she needs two hands to signal for pitches 6, 7 and 8 that DD throws.

    My Daughter will not make a team I coach.

    First time poster, long time reader. A couple of years ago, I was in a similar situation to the OP. I managed the 9-10 year old all-stars. DD1 was 10 and DD2 was 9. 20+ kids tried out, with 14 making the team. DD1 was solidly in the top 3, while DD2 was at the talent level somewhere between...
