Conference with Pitcher
My team played a 10U rec game the other day and had something happen that I hadn't encountered before. The opposing coach (his team on the field at the time) called time, stood just outside the 3rd base line and called his pitcher (and only his pitcher) over to confer. Play resumed and a...- Don

Solo Practice?
Any suggestions for drills or other practice techniques that can be done alone? My DD (14) will hit off a tee sometimes or use a Hit-Away, but I'd like to have other useful things that she can do when she doesn't have anyone else to practice with. Don- Don

Easton Natural Elite Catcher's Mitt
Does anyone have any experience with the Easton Natural Elite Catcher's Mitt? My 14U daughter is in need of a new catcher's mitt and likes the look of this one (it matches the Easton Natural Elite fielding glove she got a few months ago and loves). Easton Natural Elite 33 inch Fastpitch...- Don

8U REC league rules
Our rec league currently have 8U girls play slow pitch, they have a choice of fast or slow at 10U, and fast exclusively from 12U up. For the last several years number of 10 slow teams has dropped and the number of 10U fast teams has risen, so now most of the girls go from 8U slow to 10u fast...- Don

Rule Differences between High School and TB?
My daughter has played 3 years on travel teams, but just recently made the JV team. Other than the fact they play a full 7 innings, are there any rule differences? I don't want to be thinking to myself that the coach is doing something crazy when it may just be a rule difference that I'm not...- Don

Need Elbow Pad Suggestions
I have a 14 yo daughter who had surgery in December to repair a broken arm. She now has a plate permanently in the upper part of her arm, down to her elbow, and she is just now starting to practice again. Her doctor recommended that we look at getting her an elbow pad for when she is batting...- Don

Stronger Throws to 2nd
We got the New England Catching Camp DVD a couple of months ago, and it has been a HUGE help for my 13 y/o daughter. She has started blocking really well (no passed balls her last game, although the pitcher really gave her a workout) and she has a great head for the game. The only real issue...- Don

Multiple Tryouts
My daughter isn't happy on her current 14U travel team, and wants to go to tryouts for other teams. The team that she most wants to play for (and of course the most competetive and the one she is least likely to make), is last, after some other tryouts that she is more likely to get a position...- Don

Overcoming Fear in Blocking
My 12U daughter started catching last fall and has really taken to it and enjoys it. She has done fairly well with it, but still has issues with blocking. She understands that she should drop and block with her chest, but hasn't yet overcome her fear of getting hurt; so a lot of balls in the...- Don
