I don't see the issue here! After seeing my oldest start pitching at 13 and only making it to a low level d1 school which was the actual school of her choice academically and then getting a fOur year degree, for a whopping $2300! I started my youngest pitching at 3 she had mastered 6 pitches by...
We are a second 12u team, we played mostly c ball last year with about fifteen or so b games. We were very successful at c ball and did not fair well at b ball. We lost all but three games at b mind you theses were mostly by one to three runs!
What is needed to take the next step and move on...
I started last year looking more at exit velocity off of a tee than swing speed. Exit velocity requires good swing mechanics where if you are just measuring how fast they can swing a bat.
We use the tee set up for a fat down the middle pitch and base our EV off of this. From my experience and...
I doubt that they are missing anything on the price. The mouth guard that my daughter wears, which she got fro her DDS was over $50. You have to take into consideration that you are protecting a priceless commodity, your daughter and her teeth. Plus you figure I have over $5k in her mouth it is...
So then how much time do the girls require off from softball. Is ''fall ball'' that important to their success and or failure?
Is a two month time frame off from all things softball enough?
What about pitchers, how much time do they require off from all things pitching? Then again how much can...
Reading Cindy Barstows article on the things she learned at NCFA got me to thinking.
You read lots of things on the internet about the fact girls are playing to much softball, that they are getting injuried, burn out, lose the desire to play the game.
So what are your thoughts on how much is...
No it will throw dipple balls. Regular balls. Atec balls.
It is not as accurate with regular balls and will tear them up over time. Throws the atec balls well indoors but same thing will tear them up over time.
My 9 y/o dd had had a pure love of softball since she could walk and talk. Guess thats what happens when you grow up at a ball field. She has just always struggled and I mean hard to play the game. Weak arm, bat, you name it she has struggled. I have always kept encouraging her and telling her...
Split the team into thirds. One group on first base, One on third base and one group at home.
Players at home hit the ball one at a time either of a tee or side toss.. first player in line on first and third sprint after the ball while the batter runs bases. If hitter reaches home before ball...
I really just love the little kids coming into the game for the first time. It is a great time in those little ones lifes. Frustrating as it can be, it is truley a joy to be involved in
How fast should a 9y/o be running from batters box to first base. My DD is a little on the sloooooowww side, but I love her anyway. She can pull home to first in between 4.5 and 5.5 secs. How close is she to being where she needs to be.
I always had and write in on the inside on my kids gloves five simple letters. T H I N K just always a good subtle remeinder to always have your head in the game
