    Tell on a rise

    DD got bested by a nasty rise every at bat the other day. The pitcher really had nothing but a natural rise, but it was very effective in shutting down our batters. I'm wondering if there's anything we could look for. This pitcher only plays HS ball, no travel, so it's not like she's used to...

    DD has been diagnosed with a torn labrum...

    Ouch. Personal experience with a torn labrum in my hip (you can get it in your shoulder too, so if any of your DD's have persistent, undiagnosed shoulder problems, take heed). If you have any questions, happy to help. Only way to accurately diagnose is with an MRI with dye, which is sounds like...

    *Looking for Guidance/advice*

    Just my .02: DD started out 13 playing on a 16U. She's been 3 years at 16U. Has she learned a lot? You bet. Did she play much at all? Not nearly enough. Although we were for the most part happy with all that she was learning, and happy with the coaching, it has been a constant bone of contention...

    RICE ... Ice Delays Recovery

    Icing always seemed counter-productive to me; let the body do what it does.

    Overcoached at C?

    Just want to get an opinion from other coaches. DD is starting catcher on 16u B team. Has only been catching for 2 years, but has learned well on the job and in clinics. She works very well with her pitcher to the point where the 2 of them could probably call their own game. My issue is this...

    The Catching Camp Still Accepting Registrations For Summer Camp 2017!

    Completely agree with all of the above. If we didn't have other plans, we'd definitely be at The Catching Camp. Coach Jay can *totally* pitch!

    How Important is High School Softball

    I love this.

    Coaches, would this be appropriate?

    Wow, it definitely sounds like deception through omission by your Team Mom and HC. But at least he was honest with you after you were direct with him. I would be relieved to at least know what the truth is now, cut your losses and go elsewhere. I have to believe some of her teammates feel the...

    And that is how it is done...

    I wish our outfielders knew how important their role is, and tracked the ball like this. Too many think the outfield is a punishment, or a dead zone. They need to know their value!

    What is your DD's ''journey"?

    That granddaughter is going twist you around her little finger!

    What is your DD's ''journey"?

    This is me too. DD's journey is rec ball from 8-12, then got on a poorly skilled travel ball team as we are in an area where soccer and lacrosse rule. She was fortunate to make it onto a good travel team with a great coach although she was really behind in skills. She's worked and learned a...

    When did you know?

    I knew it was over when I had to nag her to practice all the time. She then made the switch to catcher, and she's much happier and feels like she's helping her pitchers.

    Dome-ball is here!

    Ugh - we have an indoor tournament next weekend. It's in a hangar and it is far colder indoors than out. Not particularly looking forward to it.
