    info help...31/21...cf6 vs xeno

    looking to purchase one or the other. DD loved the cf5 last year but has outgrown it. heard lots of good things about the xenos and have seen the cf6 in action. DD has swung the cf6 31-20 and didn't like it, felt to lite.

    USSSA Pride, a Pro Fastpitch team in Orlando, FL

    Just went to see them in Toledo. Girls are fantastic to watch on both Pride and Akron. Came out after the game for everyone who wanted an autograph. Its a have-to experience for the girls.

    best game ever played...30 min later...worst game

    All the above. Wasn't about that so much as getting them to want to get back out there and play hard. The team, well the competative players, are looking for success. They really wanted that game. Don't get me wrong, we're a 10u team. Just very frustrated at the crappy attitude out there...

    best game ever played...30 min later...worst game

    This past weekend my team played its best game ever. Battled every at bat, great defence and outstanding pitching. Unfortunately that changed for about 5 minutes and we lost it. Anyways, the best we ever did. 20 minutes later, new game vs opponent we mercied day before. Worst game ever! We...

    8U softball debate.... Your opinion please....

    I've coached 8u tb the last 2 years. There is really no other way around here to do it. Not enough girls playing softball. We practice 2x a week and play in 6 tournaments a summer. Roughly 30games. We emphasize fundamentals and fun. We don't yell or get on them for mistakes. We explain...

    Defensive Signs/calls during the game?

    I'm looking at getting the bands for my team 10u. Last year about half of team struggled with really basic signs. Gave them a little sampler and they all liked the idea of it. Other coaches sceptical. So i guess i too am asking is it worth it the girls wearing these bands. As for awkward, i...

    What are your unwritten rules?

    Had a similar situation with my youngest. 9u playing 10u tournament, vs strong team. Opposing coach, after putting up a few lets me know this is going to turn into bunt practice. Sure, we could use the work, why not. 15 bunt attampts in a row on all strike counts. Dd at 3b crashing every...

    Any Input Appreciated (2 DDs)

    Van is definitely harder to teach. Easy to talk to but seem like broken record. Used the same "nose,belly, toes" talk. She'll do it for a few then revert back. Practice tonight so we'll see see. At least she uses different saying then her sis. "I'm trying" vs "I KNOW"(hate that...

    Buying into Peel vs Roll Over

    Thanks for the help. Many of us are limited to what is put out there on the net. This is the first that I've found and understood more of what goes on with the drop. We have an old school coach in the area who teaches the "rollover" and by watching what he asks of the arm & shoulder, I found...

    Buying into Peel vs Roll Over

    Thanks everyone for the posts. DD has progressed at a moderate pace since beginning pitching. Began with a HE & step instructor. We left that and moved onto leap. Developed very good accuracy and a good change. We are in no rush to jump in and get 7 pitches going. 2 pitches can be worked...

    Buying into Peel vs Roll Over

    You are correct in the fact i have never thrown a live game. DD is 12u learning movement pitches now. Good command of fb and cu. Good presense on mound with a gamers mind of working a batter. She's likes the rollover as its bigger drop is more appealing. I don't believe the peel is more...
