    Need help with DD's swing

    DD used to be successful hitter despite her swing being a work in progress but this year she has really struggled (below .275 against decent pitching) and is starting to get down on herself. Here are 3 clips...Low Tee, High Tee, and Pitching Machine. Is there anything she can do in the near...

    Odd play...thought the ruling was wrong even though it was to our benefit

    Runner on first less than 2 outs. One hopper to the first baseman and the runner on first goes back to the first base bag bag. 1B steps on the bag and then tags the runner (who is standing on first) and the umpire rules it a double play. Was it the right call? Also, another one from this past...

    Little League Rule Questions...All-Stars

    We have an interesting issue: Our team won the winners bracket of our district tournament and are now seeded in the championship game waiting for the final losers bracket game tonight. The tournament was originally scheduled to conclude today (Thursday) but because of two days of rainouts the...

    Help with 12U DDs Swing?

    So for good or bad she has been a successful hitter the past few years despite her work in progress swing (I posted some clips before) and she still has issues with her swing. I think (hope) there is some good in it. It is now probably too late to do anything dramatic for this season but is...

    Switch teams?

    Here is the dilemma... DDs (12u) team folded during tryout season after a few girls (3 of our 4 pitchers) went to other teams and it was clear that we wouldn’t be able to backfill at that point. So scrambling a little to find a team (and she would not be available to tryout the last half of...

    More rec ball hell

    More rec ball "not quite bliss" ;) First game tonight. League put 15 girls on the team (including several 11 year olds who belong in 10/11 and not 11/12...the 10/11 team only has 11 players). I don't envy the coach...this many girls on a rec team is absurd. DD's coach then set the mound wrong...

    rule question

    We had a runner on first take her lead catcher fakes and then throws to pitcher runner runs quickly runs back to the bag but over runs it a little into foul territory and comes back to the bag. She might have even hit the bag about the time the pitcher caught the ball. The umpire calls her...

    Little League All-Star roster questions

    roster questions On the Affidavit you can have up to 14 players. I wan't to play 13 in the games due to the coach in the dugout rule but can I add a 14th just in case and have her not show up in uniform if the other 13 are confirmed to play? I mean can she show up to the games and watch not...

    Can you refuse to take first on a HBP?

    My daughter does it every time in 10u rec (she obviously doesn't do this on her select team)...when she gets hit and ump tells her to take first she will ask him to just rule it a ball. Is this actually legal?

    Little League All-Star Question

    We are about to select the All-Star team for our Little League (9/10) and when all is said and done 7 of the girls will be from her travel team (2 leagues combining for one team). We plan on practicing every week day but this will conflict with select practices which isn't a big deal except...

    How is this for an unfair tournament draw

    Our LL district is putting on a mid-season tournament. 14 teams total with 7 in each pool and only games within the pool so some lucky team gets to play 4 pool play games (which is us...and honestly I am happy to get an extra game...except...). Here is the rub: All pitchers can throw only 9...

    Foul tip question

    If a batter tips the ball and it glances off the catchers glove and is secured between the knees (so the glove or hand is not touching the ball) is it still a foul tip?

    10u Rec Lineup Philosophy?

    Need some advise on making a 10u rec lineup. Is it best to mix up the lineup to try to balance things for all the players or set a batting order by strength? Same goes for fielding positions (maybe other than P, C, and 1st base). The teams in our interlock seem to have a different...

    Runner Ruling Question

    I had to umpire a game yesterday (a friendly round robin between 3 teams so we had to provide an ump...I umpired baseball while I was a senior in high school many years ago but never softball). 1st and 3rd situation the runner from first steals and the catcher throws the ball to the pitcher...

    another 10U swing

    **Updated Swing on page 4** Thanks for all the input on this site...in my short time here I am astounded by how little I really knew. After reading all the great input from the 10u analysis below I figure I would jump in as well. Here are a couple of videos of my 10u daughter. After watching...
