I currently help coach a second year 12U B level travel team, moving to 14U next season. As we move through 14U we are looking to become more competitive and compete with A level teams. My question is, if we practice from October through April before games start, how many hours per week is...
Thank you all for the feedback. I agree and will focus on fundamentals.
We will play an indoor season in January so will use that to start developing game situations.

I am coaching a second year 12U team for the 21-22 season. We will have a batting practice during the week for an hour and an indoor practice every Sunday for 2 hours. The Sunday 2 hour practice will likely be split, an hour in the cages / tee work and an hour for defensive skills and strategy...
It just came out about a month back. I agree with the HLT being the gold standard, I assume the pitching book is just as good.
She is 12 and has been pitching for 3 years. She needs the most work currently on posture and her feet. Needs to get to a more natural motion.

Hello, Is the Fastpitch Foundations instructional and informational, or just the latter? Our summer season is coming to an end and looking for instruction for my DD. Quality coaches in my area is hard to find so I am in a similar position. I've been looking at FF and the High level pitching...

I have been asked to help coach a second year 12U travel team for next season. I'd like to hear people's thoughts or experiences on hiring one pitching instructor and having weekly small group sessions for the 2-3 team pitchers versus having each individual pitcher responsible for finding...
Hello, Thank you for all the comments, so helpful. A lot of comments about coaches kids on the team......the coach for the new team is a non-parent, she is a former college player as well as her assistants which is a huge plus for me. All female, non-parent coaching staff. Head Coach seems...
@tamss13 - I agree 100%. She wants to see what's out there so that's what we're doing. I told her if she makes a team but she's not feeling it, we say no thanks and go home.
It stressful, hard to wait until Monday 🤣. But I know it will be perfectly clear
Thank you for the responses. I agree with all of the replies.
I think part of the problem is my daughter is more competitve than most of the team. She wants to be a great player personally, plus win games. She's young, but has dreams of playing college ball. As a parent I need to put her in...
