    Need some help

    random question since you are experimenting with your DD's IR like I am... lol... If she cradles it, which way is her hand facing coming out of the glove? the more traditional backswing, which way is her hand facing? My DD is trying to keep her back swing with palm to the catcher on the...

    Need some help

    I am fairly new to this, but I think I heard @Hillhouse say in a video that fastpitch is just an overhand motion flipped upside down. Someone else posted a picture of dots and lines on a forearm that sticks in my head also. Finger pressure and finger location on the ball helped me move a ball...

    Getting sponsorships

    We have a hot list of companies that have sponsored in the past. Look large companies that have independent sellers, like seed companies or equipment companies. In our neck of the woods, those are the companies that drop a nice check. A lot of our hot list former players had parents or relatives...

    How many innings does it take?

    I think it is interesting these timed games, even at 10U I have witnessed coaches us different strategies because they are up or down, hustling in or walking around to kill some time. I like the tournaments that had a time limit and you finished the inning, it felt like more of a game. With the...

    Toni Paisley & Esia FootDoctor team up

    So far, this has been the great light bulb moment for my DD and myself. For now, she had decreased the distance she travels on her drive because her circle was too long and almost leaving the arm and ball behind when she was at 9 o'clock almost pushing the ball. Now with the shorter drive, my DD...

    A year into the journey

    After watching one of the local college teams play online my DD really liked how the pitcher threw, so we did some youtubing and she watched a video on top college pitchers and it clicked for my DD. By far the weirdest par is she watch Jenny F pitch and started mimicking her finish and her brush...

    Change up help

    key words/cues for my DD is Tony Stark (knuckles up, almost pushing the palm) and splash the water (thumb up in the same motion as throwing a glass of water at someone)

    The other side to the "Multi-Sport Athlete"

    Growing up in the tundra and I am a big fan of the multi-sports and I think it molded me into a better athlete and competitor, keeps competition going one way or another. My oldest 2 played multiple sports until their sophomore year and it was pretty clear by then what their college path was, if...

    Weather to play competitive vs rec

    My 10 YO DD pilled me last weekend because I thought I could just step behind the L screen, except the L screen was turned the wrong way...

    Bat Upgrade

    We have a couple good sized girls on my DD's team and neither swing longer that a 31... I agree 100% w @cnardone about the jump and bat longevity, my DD has both LS and the Prism, but leans toward the LS.

    Weather to play competitive vs rec

    Our DD played our Rec League All-Stars and was in it to win it, so we tried out and made a travel team to see how much she wanted to play. It's a great test to see where the commitment level is, because of the money, travel, practices and loss of your weekends... lol. Our DD made huge strides in...

    A year into the journey

    Proud Poppa moment. She had about 15 minutes before we were leaving for a basketball game and she wanted to 'slow everything down'.

    How good are you at Softball?

    I have a blast until my knees and hamstrings tell me to dial it back a lil bit chubby... I'm pretty much the best 45 year old 10U player on our team.
