    I'm looking at changing organizations. There are several reasons why but the main one being is that our showcase teams are really no longer meant for girls within the organization. The intent of starting these showcase teams 4 years ago was to give the better players a place to move up to...

    Online Scheduling

    I'm looking to see if any of you use online scheduling for practices... I'm looking for something kinda specific... I run most of my hitting practices 1 on 1 so I can take 2 at a time w/ my AC. I would think some of you pro coaches who get paid use something similar. I've been looking at...
