    What are some of the "unwritten rules" of softball?

    These are all on the field type stuff: -Don’t warm up, play pepper, ect in front of the dugout. Good grief, you got the entire outfield. -A ground ball should NEVER go under your glove. -If your pitcher is throwing a no hitter you don’t talk about it. -Don’t step on the foul line when RUNNING...

    Anyone have a link to water bottle drill? I guessing it’s just slo motion throwing a water bottle, letting the water pour out as you do your arm circle? Another dumb question, what the heck does DD stand for? I get people are referring to their daughter. Sorry I’m new here. Thanks -As far...

    Ideal contact point, body angles & hand positions

    I don’t really consider that deep. Looks like near perfect to me. A pitch down the heart of the plate that is being hit back up the middle.

    Ideal contact point, body angles & hand positions

    This is a good thread. Every hitter is different and imo you shouldn’t try to make them all be exactly the same. However, I think most will agree that staying short to the ball (how short seems to be the question) is best. Extension through contact is key. Ideally we would like contact on an...

    Thanks. Lots of info there. FYI the substitute rule is the same in baseball if I understand you correctly. A starter can be subbed for and re enter one time. A sub can not re enter.

    Making the switch

    Thanks everyone for your replies. I really appreciate it. I live in a house with 4 females (5 counting the cat) so I understand the emotional side of things. Well, not really understand but you get the idea. Lol.

    Thank you Gambler Bob. I’ve seen the look back rule with the younger girls. Is that rule the same for NFHS (HS rules)?

    Making the switch

    I’ve coached baseball at the Middle/High School level for the last 17 years. The last couple of years I’ve really gained interest in Fastpitch and I’m considering making the switch after this season. I have three daughters so I don’t think it will be to big of a transition for me as far as...
