    Team hopping

    We had one kid on the team. Loved being on the team. The group of girls was like something you never seen. They were very tight. We spent a lot of time building chemistry. Well her parents pulled her after fall. They felt she was a ss and I played her at 2nd and 3rd. She also pitched. She was...

    Team hopping

    I think 10u teams take team jumpers because they need the bodies. In our area 10s are impossible to find, but their is a surplus of 12's that want to play. 10s is a brutal age IMO. I coached 10u the past 2 years. Took me 2 years to turn the team into a very competitive team. Last year we won 60...

    9u swing issues

    Yes I had told her to put the ball on the tee the same way everytime. She is very coachable. We haven't hit since I posted the video. We will be hitting today when she gets home. We did talk about it and take some air swings. I'm hopeful this simple change will correct the issue. Getting her to...

    9u swing issues

    Yes exactly what she is thinking. The idea was to get her to swing through the ball and to keep her head down. I tell her to slice in half like fruit ninja. I'm thinking by tilting the ball her body will adjust to the new target.

    Comparing AB ending on 1st pitch to all others

    I believe it was first pitch of your first ab. After that he mixed up.

    9u swing issues

    Thanks for the input Rdbass. I spent some time thinking about her hands last night trying to figure out why she drops them. We do a drill where she stops at contact to check herself. When she does this drill she will look correct. But when she swings the hands come down. I think the reason for...

    9u swing issues

    Fingers crossed this worked. Here is the link. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=M2KKByHtxcY The swings today are as ugly as they get. I wanted to keep it real. You can even see a little bug squishing going on. Been trying to fix that for a year now. It had gone away but showed back up today...

    9u swing issues

    The little one will be home soon. I'm going to do my best to get some video up tonight. I have never posted video online but my son says he can help me. I will have video in 90 minutes. I will try to have it posted by 4 - 4:15. I often study these threads and value the information given. I look...

    9u swing issues

    I'm looking for ideas on how to correct a couple issues my daughter has in her swing. I don't have a video but I think I can describe the issue I'm seeing. This is what she looks like on her finish. ) She turns into a backward c. Hand are finishing super high. The swing looks decent till right...

    Stick it out or move on after season?

    Hard for me to read so many people think it is a better option to quit the current team to find a team this kid could start for. Forget softball. What does that teach the kid? So in a few years this kid starts college and she finds out it is a little tougher then she thought. Would your advice...

    Stick it out or move on after season?

    What would I do? My oldest was in a similar situation when she was 12. I explained to her the only way to pass the better girls is to out work them and that is what she did. Work work work. Success should be judged on rate of growth not only playing time. The goal was never to be the best 12...

    What to do?

    4 girls dad is correct. Pitchers don't catch and catchers don't pitch. Time to pick.
