    8u TB (Coach Pitch) Hitting Slump!!! HELP

    Everyone knows what they say about opinions.... But, honestly Alex is right...We are in Louisiana and the Rec competition is very small. Same 6 teams playing over and over and alot of the girls aren't dedicated. The only way to play year round or decent competition is to play travel ball. We...

    I don't really think OP was worried about a winning record was just looking for advice on responsibilities for coach pitch 8u... While true purpose of 8u is all about coaching the girls the fundamental of softball, he was looking for advice on what balls his pitcher should be playing.

    8u to 10u When to Move up?

    Thanks for everyone's thoughts and opinions...with me being the coach of the head coach of the 06 team she is on now and having a good strong group of core girls, I am leaning on her moving up a year early.

    8u to 10u When to Move up?

    Fielding I would say she is top 4 on the team, Batting I would say top 5 to 6 and with Coach Pitch 8u its all about crushing the ball right? She has all the right fundamentals I think she lacks the strength that the girls a year older have on her. As the coach you are always harder and expect...
