    Shoulder pain advise

    No, if She makes a muscle it looks completely normal. But then again, the pain is on the bicept muscle that attaches almost under the armpit. I think that is why at first she was misdiagnosed as it being the pectoral muscle. Both pt's and sports Medicine doctors have agreed that it does not...

    Shoulder pain advise

    We took our daughter to the chiropractor today and he told us she had bicept tendonitis. This was do to the fact that over the holidays she pitched very little and now that peak softball season is here we are pitching 4 days a week. It is an overuse injury. He said at least a month off, if not more.

    Shoulder pain advise

    1 week ago my daughter was warming up to pitch before a game and threw a drop ball. When she did her shoulder started hurting. She started pitching to a couple of batters and the pain was still there. She told the coach and he pulled her out. I thought it was probably a pulled muscle or...

    To play "A" ball or "B" ball? advise needed

    Under normal circumstances I would absolutely 100% agree with you. What is happening is that my daughter will throw the third strike and the catcher will drop it, and the batter will run to first. The catcher over throws 1st and the ball goes into the outfield and the runner advances all the way...

    To play "A" ball or "B" ball? advise needed

    She can play any position except catcher. She has a great bat, but her biggest weakness is she is not fast on bases. They timed her last night and it takes her 14.87 seconds to run around bases. Other girls were 13.5. The coach was ready to put her on the team but he recommended her to start a...

    To play "A" ball or "B" ball? advise needed

    My daughter is 13YO and is on a 12U B team. She will have to move up to 14U in August. The team she is on is HORRIBLE. My daughter is a pitcher and she has no defense behind her whatsoever. She gets very frusterated with her team. Her frusteration is affecting her performance. She is the...

    Does any softball parent have a life outside softball?

    Well, If you could see how bad our team was you might understand why our coach makes us practice so much. WE ARE HORRIBLE! We are a 2nd year12U team (mostly 12 and 13 year olds) One might think because we have seasoned older girls we could win some games against weaker teams...right? Nooo.. we...

    Do different parts of the country run tournaments the same?

    I live in North Texas, and here recently they have changed the way they run the tournaments. Last year, you would have a 4 game guarantee. You would have two pool games (that are games that are just practice and do not count). Then you would have the bracket schedule. You keep playing until you...

    What is the best bat on the market?

    which is the best bat on the market? Well we finally picked out a bat! We went with the 2011 purple and white Easton Stealth Speed. I believe it is a end loaded bat. At least that is what it feels like. My daughter unwrapped the bat out of the package, went to a scrimmage and hit her first ball...

    How do you know when you need a heavier bat?

    She is 5 foot tall. She is a pitcher and has a very strong forearm, so she can hold the bat out for 30 seconds with no problem. About a month ago she was smacking the ball to the fence with no problem and just here recently in the past couple of tournaments she has been having this pulling to...

    How do you know when you need a heavier bat?

    My daughter just turned 13 and on a 12U team. Last year my daughter was swinging way too late and striking out most of the time. We were told to get the lightest bat possible. That made a difference and we gradually upped the weight til she was using her heavier bat again. Now, it is a year...

    How many times per week does your daughter practice pitching?

    Well, the first 12U tournament of the season was this past weekend. You could most definatley tell which pitchers had been practicing over the winter and who hadn't. I was really wondering if we were at a SELECT tournament because it felt like REC all over again. Even my daughter who was...

    Video of daughter pitching - would like someone to critique

    My daughter does seem to be guiding the ball for a strike. When not in a game she pitches alot faster. Probably between 48-52 MPH. During tournaments she is more like 45-48 MPH.She does throw high often because for some reason she has gotten in the habit of lifting her shoulder at the release...
