    Baseball vs. Softball Swings - Any differences?

    I like to think that fp hitters have a more compact swing. Using more core and lower body. In bb the big stride and not just driving the ball but swinging for the fence. My parents and I agree that if just one team went for base hits instead of the fence that team would excede the other teams...

    What do you think of lefty catchers?

    Practice versus game batting

    Not having any of my children playing fastpitch or baseball. I will do anything to help the team I coach suceed. I don't mean win every game but improve as individuals and as a team.

    Should you teach young catchers to throw from the knees?

    Welcome to the Speed & Power Forum

During the first lap they tried to run single file and soon found that if you have one end run around the...

    Welcome to the Speed & Power Forum

    I was doing a hopping drill with the girls, ages 13-15, and after about 45 minutes we started a pairs hop scotch game. They did the drills and had some fun. We were hopping on one foot one way and the other on the back or on both. We were photographed for the local paper. Some other coaches in...
