    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    We played similar rules and had the best P pitch 1st inning then pulled her. 1st inning seemed to be the hardest inning to get out of without getting into a lot of trouble. Then let the game play out usually she ended back there but not always. Not necessarily related to topic but we did not...

    10U Rotation

    We usually started our best pitcher to get out of the 1st inning then brought in 1 or more of the other pitchers. If go sideways you always put your best P back out there. DD has been pounded which made her work harder so not always a bad thing to have a rough outing.

    Playing Up 8U-10U

    If I had the opportunity to start over again DD would have played slow pitch in 10U. The FP games can be brutal because of the pitching. I am not sure your DD would learn to much being a C at 10 U.

    Outfield Depth Perception

    Never did this before but I like the players to compete and communicate with each other. Maybe put 2 or 3 players in the same area of the OF and hit balls to them. They should learn from each other.

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    If we pitched by ourselves for a while I always sat on a bucket, any pitch that went sideways I did not even try to catch. If there was a batter I would not use a bucket, still would not catch balls the went sideways though.

    What ultimate pitching level for your daughter do you hope your and her efforts and commitment will achieve?

    Always was her choice which was not one of the 7 options to pick.

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    DD got warned a few time for quick pitching the umpire. Like you we needed her slow her down a take a breath. I do not recall her quick pitching a batter.

    Hopefully that means they need DD.

    Playing 3rd

    My least favorite position on field, DD always wore a face mask there. 3rd base can be a real force on the field in SB. How much up she plays towards the batter and SS depends on her ability. I have disagreed with coaches that DD had to hug the line. Depending on game situation she will...

    She finally understands,you get what you put in.

    DD played 8U as a pitcher with coach backup. She got to 10U and was on her own. 10U did not go well for her. She had a decision to make, Practice or quit pitching. She chose practicing.

    Left-handed Pitcher, what say you?

    I do not think there is a significant advantage pitching lefty. Batters are a different story, lefty batters have an advantage over rightly. I would not force either one in SB and would not teach anyone to be a switch hitter. A professional SB which every on here knows told me I might to...

    Non High School spring options

    We are in Bollingbrook and a little west of us they had a league for players that did not play HS for whatever reason. DD never played there but they advertised it as pretty low keyed. No standings for example. If you have any interest I am sure I can find it and contact information.

    8u rec practice

    Teach them to protect themselves. Whether it is ducking or moving out of way. Some kids this age do not have filters and can hurt other less experienced players. You will probably will have as many parents as players at practice use them. No SB knowledge required.

    Move 3 Feet, a perspective on changes to the game.

    The perment plates were always a safely concenern for me. I asked them to pull them out and they did. You tell me the rules we play to what is set down

    The coaches daughter

    Generalization I know but the coaches kid(s) are usually one of the better players on Team.

    The coaches daughter

    I was waiting, not routing for, HC's DD to fail. She hit school ball and the fall happened. My DD was through the wars and did fine, HC's DD not to much.

    Ball Rollback?

    DD has pitched a fair amount and was armored up a little bit, face mask. She has never has been hit by a batted ball. I am resistant to any changes but I might be open to changing the ball a little bit. DD has been hurt few times, non contacted sport lol. I have only seen 1 player...

    What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?

    What I like about this drill is you can put a plunger in the batting tee so you can put a huge ball on to it. Hit it a few times in a row decrease ball size, If they miss that ball back to the bigger ball. It becomes a completion. As others have mentioned the pitcher guiding the ball is...

    First - when to tag runner vs base?

    Tag the BR if it is convenient. Do not chase Her around the field.
