We get a base hit with a runner on second which brings up a 1st and 3rd situation. The defensive coach calls time out and brings the entire infield to the circle. Our runner on 1st runs over to our 3rd base coach during the time out and the plate ump goes ballistic screaming she is not allowed...
I ran across this new kind of team up effort on facebook. I really like what I’m seeing from these two. So as DFP member coaches say. “Verify”. I’m trying to verify what they are teaching could be right. I had some doubts about some of Toni’s instructions and then she showed a video of what...
DD has a strain and Small partial tear in her UCL ligament from playing SS and throwing overhand. As for now it doesn’t bother her to pitch or hit so she is still playing. Ball hit back to pitcher she just pitches it to 1st. The other team complains saying she is just showing off but it works...
I’ve mentioned several times on here that I can’t find a pitching coach in my area. And over and over Im told I need to find DD a pitching coach. So I try to find her a “pitching coach” and Im not liking what im finding. So Im asking should DD be forcing shoulder forward with arm straight down...
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
I put DD on here once a year then we work on the suggestions. I need all the help I can get because I can only find HE pitching coach in our area.
I’m trying to put everything I’m learning together. So we have good lower body mechanics good drive good fsr good torque. Now in upper body trying to keep chin position as still as possible. We are turning the barrel trying to stay in tight swings look good. However we make contact with top half...
Joining new team 2nd practice coach wants arm to be straight at 12 I have been trying to get more bend in elbow. Am I just paranoid or should I expect next suggestion to be ball down at 9. It seems to be a well coached team, coach got 5A coach of the year, 2 D1 assistants. Team needs another...
I’ve heard 2019 NFHS is changing like NCAA for illegal pitch where penalty is a ball on the batter and no longer runner gets next base. Has USSSA or USA adopted this rule change or will rules be different from 1 tournament to the next depending on who sponsored the tournament. Has anyone heard...
We are in SE Louisiana DD playing for middle school or Jr High as we call it. Our coach treats our games like pool games in a tournament. Is this normal 3 runs and swap sides or 1.5 hr time limit. What happened to 7 innings. Our high school is 4A so 678 grade at different facility. DD played...
It’s not right for a pitcher to spend hours and hours practicing their pitching only to get to a tournament where every pitching rubber has a 6” crater in front. Dd has been working on strong and balanced drive. When she gets to tournament steps on the rubber puts hands together and pulls drive...
I recently posted a video”DD 06 pitching evaluation needed”. I got some really good advice on mechanical flaws that I was just not seeing. She made the adjustments needed and at this point I am satisfied with her form. I told her no more changes for now just get used to pitching with this form...
I have learned a lot from reading this site. Tried to implement what I have learned into teaching my dd. I realize I need help moving to the next level. She is an 06 just made 12. In practice never gets over 49 in game consistently 52. Any help would be greatly appreciated try to be specific...
My dd is 11 plays for a local tb team. It has a lot of her friends on the team. We know in July the team is going to bust up so we are searching for a new team for the fall season. So as I start inquiring about tryouts in fall to other teams in our area. They want her to start playing with...
I can’t find the rule I hope I’m not wrong. I always understood the base path between 1b and 2b was determined by the runner. We were coaching a rundown where ball thrown to 2b just before br arrived so br turns to go back to 1b in rundown. My question is does the br have to go straight back to...
After a few minutes reading I’m getting pop ups saying congratulations I won an amazon gift card or phone. This is the only site it’s doing on seems to be on certain threads. Especially on general softball question
Superglue on a raw finger tip or hangnail works great. However it is a foreign substance. I try to follow all rules to the letter, but does anyone else do this and hope their not caught. Would any of the umpires toss a pitcher for trying to relieve excess pain.
