trick play
Fast runner on 1st that you know will steal 2nd and your catcher has no chance of throwing her out. Runner takes off, Catcher throws a pop fly to the 2nd baseman/SS and everyone yells for them to throw the ball to 1st. Hopefully you can trick the runner into thinking the ball was...
I teach the younger levels not to try and bunt down the lines. I want the ball bunted towards the SS or 2B. We want the ball to be in a place where the 1B, P, C or 3B, P, C all have a chance at fielding it. Usually, they all look at each other and it is too late to make a throw after they...
composite
The faster you swing, the more you will compress the walls of the composite bat. You might want to look at what kind of lessons you kid will be taking. If it is from someone who uses a pitching machine with the dimple balls, go with a metal bat. They are pretty tough on a composite if...
proud papa
Cannonball, Sounds like you and your wife have raised a daughter you should be proud to brag about. What a tough position your daughter found herself in but this is what I love about sports. It teaches life lessons that they probably never know they are learning. My DD was on the...
parents
Our rec league isn't that competitive. You usually have about 3-4 travel girls with a bunch who could care less. We have a draft and it is always the same thing every year. The coaches choose the kids based on the parents. I don't want this kid because his/her dad is a Jxxx Axx. I know...
I think hitting just caught up to golf. This has been around for years in golf. There will be plenty of pros and cons but I believe it does help show swing flaws.
Lady Virus is on the banned list. When you have Slowpitch Men using it, it raised some eyebrows and tipped everyone off at how hot that bat was. Combat replaced them for free with a regular virus. I don't know if this information is still on their website but it was soon after it was banned for...
Under Armour makes a shoe that has a rubber toe cap that might be a little cheaper. I think it is the laser model. It comes in metal and plastic cleats. My DD has been using a pair for the last 10 months with no problems. She is a toe drag pitcher and I can't be happier with them.
stance
I would agree with coachdan with one exception. The only time I will mess with a kids stance is when their vision is impaired. If they have their head tilted too much to one side or they are not using both eyes, then I will adjust their stance. This will help them identify the ball earlier.

It has been 9 days since I purchased the videos. Purchased last Friday and got a phone call Monday with a reason why I couldn't login. Received assurance I would be able to login within 24 hours. Got an email address to notify if it wasn't fixed. 2 emails later, nothing. Has...
englishbey's site
Can you guys give an idea how long it takes for Englishbey's site to activate your account? I purchased the videos on Friday and I thought this would give me instant access to the site. It states that I am still waiting on admin approval. Thanks.
