    How To Skin Field?

    Does anyone have some good references on the process of remodeling a grass infield to a skin'd one? I'm working with our Town to put together a volunteer effort to convert a field later this year. Thank You.

    Could someone please give opinions on what pitching aids they feel are best to help girls 12-14 learn to develop better fastpitch mechanics? I'm looking for anything from dvd's, aids that can be set up on the field, best books, etc. Thank You. Darrell
