    Outfielders Get Jipped During Indoor Practices

    What do you guys do for the outfielders during indoor practice season. That would be Winter for everyone in the balmy climates! Just looking for anything that may be different or maybe put a new twist on what I'm doing now. I do take advantage of some of the time to talk about covering...

    DD Getting Told To "Squish The Bug"

    I saw this in an email from Marc and it has great timing in regard to my daughters hitting. "Believe me, I've seen and heard plenty of things in practice facilities over the years that have made me cringe. Some of it is just bad advice (such as get your back elbow up to hitters), while other...

    Wheeled Bags With Inside Divider

    I am shopping for a new equipment bag for my DD. She currently has a Mizuno that has a mesh divider inside. It's great for keeping everything inside from falling to the bottom when the bag is hung on the fence. Are there any other makes and models that have this feature? Most web sites do...

    Problem With Rawlings Catcher's Mitt

    The webbing on my daughter's Rawlings mitt looks funky like it has collapsed. I wonder if this is not a good situation for receiving/fielding? It has the open "H" style web. I wonder if going to a solid webbing would prevent this from happening? Anyone have any suggestions for a 32-33 FP...

    Multiple Team Tryouts: Parent to Coaches Question

    We're interested in 3 area teams for the 2010-2011 season. The tryouts for these teams are within a 10 day period starting this week. I'd like to get my daughter to all three in order to make the best possible decision for her. If she does well and all the teams are interested in her my plan...

    Number Of Practices During Week????

    As a parent of a 13 YO player I think two team practices during the week is enough and more than that starts to turn SB into a grind for her and me. Some people I talk to think there should be at least 3 and maybe even going to the cages on top of that. What's the opinion here?

    Outfielder Communication...2 way?

    How do you guys have your outfielders communicate with each other? Here's the situation I want to avoid, two outfielders running towards a fly ball, both yelling Mine, Mine, Mine or Got It, Got It, Got It and WHAM they run into each other. Should it be some kind of 2 way "conversation"? I'm...

    DD Not Hitting The Pitched Ball

    2 seasons (10U) ago my daughter was hitting the ball very well. When that season was over we decided to step up out of rec ball and get into travel (first year of 12U). Her hitting went from consistent to "hit and miss" against pitching that was similar in speed to what she saw in rec ball...
