    Wristbands and Baserunners

    For those using wristbands, how are you communicating with both the batter and the runners on a single play call? I've had tremendous success using the cards for a single, simple message. It gets a little murky when trying to communicate two things at once. Any suggestions or a communication...

    Player/Parent Contracts

    I've been looking for some sample player/parent contracts and I couldn't easily find much out there. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to share to help get me started? For context, this is 1st Year - 12U Select. The most important part, for me anyway, is discussing acceptable behavior and...

    Reporting Defensive Changes

    We’re playing in our first tournament this weekend. We’re not there to win a championship…the girls just wanted to play more games. As such, we’ll be batting our entire roster every game. My question is this: Do I have to report any defensive position changes every half inning as I balance play...

    Batting Practice Games/Competitions

    Blisters

    My 10-year-old daughter has decided that she's going to work her butt off to get better at hitting the ball. She does half hour lessons twice a week and then we practice together a couple nights a week. She's developed blisters multiple times, especially during lessons, on the lower-inside of...

    Pitcher Reps and Defense Questions

    So, first practice is in the books and I think it went fairly well. I'm working on practice plans for the upcoming practices, but I'm struggling to find ways to safely get the pitchers more reps with live batters. We only have one field and there isn't a batting cage with it. This is 12U, so...

    New Coach - Where to start?!

    I enrolled my daughter in as 12U fastpitch rec league for the fall. It's a draw team, so all the players that didn't register as part of a formal team. Nobody volunteered to coach and the league was on the verge of refunding everybody and dropping the draw team. I didn't want to let that happen...
