Catcher setup photos: Too far behind batter?
Any sound reason the catcher (my DD) should be set up this far behind a batter (first photo - lefty hitter), assuming batter doesn't have an extremely loopy swing?

Field teams by age or select?
Scenario: An organization fields two 12U teams; one team (older team) is comprised of 2005 birthdates only, the other is 2006s (or younger). Same philosophy holds for organization's 10U and 14U, but for 16U one of the teams is "Select." Question: In your mind, at the 10U through 14U levels, do...- Spindaddy

What's your philosophy for choosing tournaments (12U)?
DD's first-year 12U B-level travel team, in WNY area, is currently assembling its 2018 tournament schedule. For anyone willing to share, I would be interested in knowing the thought process you use for determining which level tournaments to participate in. Specifically, do you prefer to play...- Spindaddy
