    tingling in the hand

    I was wondering about her forearm. I was catching her today so didnt see anything. Too busy focusing on the ball :)

    tingling in the hand

    Just curious if anyone has experienced this and am i missing something mechanical. DD 2 is IR pitcher. Her last 2 pitching sessions her pitching hand just starts tingling. Today she was probably 40-50 pitches in when it started. SO we shut her down. She tells me her hand starts tingling...

    Pitchers...day after a game

    l did underhand long toss. 75% effort. More to loosen up and getting the blood flowing. Nothing overly strenuous and very effortless. After warmed up we would work on spins if needed. The emphasis was on getting things loosened up again.

    Coaches - Allow Players to pickup?

    The governing body of an organization having rules is completely different situation than coaches deciding whether to allow pickups or not.

    Coaches - Allow Players to pickup?

    Parent and player decision. No input from coach needed. Why should a coach get input on my dd’s time outside of scheduled practices and games?It’s her life, not yours.

    how to help DD be the leader the team needs.

    "Come on" unintentionally one of the most negative phrases in the English Language. Just change those to "Let's Go" and its a whole lot more positive

    Coaching Dilemma

    I actually agree with most of this. Why punish the AC's DD? What has she done to deserve to be cut?

    No swing rule on 3-0 count

    I havent read all the posts so this could have been mentioned before. There is no right or wrong answer here. It is 100% philosophical. My philosophy is that its very situational. thats it. there is a time to take and a time to swing.

    Who should the coach tell about practices first, the players or the parents?

    14u it needs to be with the players. Parents need to give up some control and led their kids take that lead. Work with them on it. My 14 year old and 16 year old handle all their schedules in the summer. Weight room, speed camp, open gyms for other sports, drivers ed and softball practice...

    Who should the coach tell about practices first, the players or the parents?

    similar discussion i just had with my sons 10u coach. Would you rather have nothing on the schedule and coach schedule practice last minute or have it scheduled and then cancelled? What looks "worse" in parents eyes?

    A question for all you Bucket-sitters out there

    I'm a worth Liberty guy too. I used it in my playing days and now to catch both my DD's. In fact i use it to catch my boys too

    What is the goal of HS varsity softball?

    There is no 1 answer to this. Each program is different. I love Cannonball's response and i believe its taken years of hard work to build his program to that point. Unfortunately, not all programs are their. Smaller schools will have great ebs and flows of athletes and talent. There may be...

    Commitment issues/overextended kids

    Very true and completely agree. We didnt want open gyms because we lived in the park and community center playing on our own. Nothing organized, just kids being kids and playing

    Commitment issues/overextended kids

    I would love to go back to this, but unfortunately that time is gone. The offseason expectations for kids is ridiculous (different thread). Where we live (NW Iowa) our little league programs dont start until school is out. Its teh first of June and a 5 week season. Many of us want more so...

    Commitment issues/overextended kids

    It's 10U rec. My philosophy is simple. We will work with whomever is there. We all have commitments outside of this. Right now i have kids coming and going because of soccer. Great, go play soccer. There soccer season will finish before our first game. Soccer is awesome for kids. I cant...
