    verbal commitment restrictions??

    My friend's daughter verbally committed as a junior to a DII school. She was told by a third party (not the school) that she can no longer have any contact with any other potential college softball coaches. They cannot contact her nor she contact them. He was adamant that its a written rule...

    Drill to stop pitcher bending at the waist

    Although I am not familiar with the specific link you mention, my suggestion for dealing with the bending and any other mechanical issue she may have would be to return to the technical basics of snaps, T's, L's, one arm circle and not move onto the next drill until flawless and painfree. I...

    1st year 14 pitcher

    The concern she has with the dropball is that she feels that many of the batters around here are taught to swing down thaen up through the strikezone thereby making the drop easier to hit than the rise.

    1st year 14 pitcher

    thank you for the feedback. She had been working on the drop for about 6 months and the rise of about 3 months. With the season quickly approaching we wanted to concentrate on only one other pitch. Her TB coach is not a huge fan of the drop ball so we decided to really work on the rise. Her...

    She's been live pitching in a tunnel to her teammates over the last few months. In November, nobody could touch her, the last few times, however, the batters are hitting her. Hard for me to tell how well being it's fairly narrow. She tells me she doesn't enjoy "tunnel pitching" as she is...

    Strong/weak coaching vs. playing time

    Opinions please.... To improve a players game would it be better to play on a strong team with good coaching and get very minimal playing time or a weaker team with minimal coaching and get tons of playing time? What if you were the pitcher, would that change the situation?
