Bat Comparison Entering 2015
Well, DD was extremely disappointed that she didnt get a new bat for christmas and although it was on her list, i didnt think she wanted one as badly as she apparently does. Shes now asking to take money out of her savings to add to her christmas money so she can buy the bat herself. My DD is...- okie

Motivation and Complacency
Anyone else constantly struggling keeping their girls motivated throughout a season? I've had the majority of my girls since teeball (now 10U). Most of my girls play basketball as well as softball and we have the same problem in both sports. Every single year for the past 3 years they start...- okie

Motivating 8 to 10 year olds
Any tips? A little backdrop. My DD has wanted to play tournament or travel ball since she was 7 or 8, she absolutely loves softball. I have coached her rec team since they were all in Teeball together and our teams have had a ton of success on the local level. Knowing my own limitations, i...- okie

Figure 4 or Snap Finish?
What are your thoughts on the finish phase of the motion? My DD was taught by her old PC to snap the hips closed and square up to the batter upon completion of the pitch. In the first month of learning, my DD had a tenancy to sweep the right foot behind the left foot in almost a figure 4...- okie

Double Drive and Lean
Im out of ideas, any thoughts on how to fix my DDs forward lean as well as her tenancy to push off twice (turn, drive, plant and drive again) from the mound? Sometimes its to the point where she hops. The lean isnt too bad in this video, but its usually far more dramatic. We've tried just...- okie

Around Instead of Down Release
We've recently switched from an HE release to an IR release (a work in progress). My DD is starting to have an issue where shes throwing around her body. It seems that shes doing a good job of pulling her elbow down, palms still up, pinky still leading but from that point she has a habit of...- okie

Fix This Swing
I've had so much useful feedback in the pitching section i figured id give the hitting section a shot too. We worked on my 8 year old DDs swing in Teeball, didnt mess with it much in 8U but now in 10U i think its time to go back and refine those mechanics. She always leads the team in batting...- okie

Help with DD Push/Drive
I've scoured the net and tried several different things with none of them really helping. As with most "opinions" on technique, opinions vary wildly from site to site. I have grown fond of this site and love the wide range of experience and opinions here so I was wondering if anyone had any...- okie
