    Anyone ever use the Hitting Disc?

    Hi, I wanted to see if any of you have used the Hitting Disc as a training aid for hitting? It looks like it would be good for indoor use (being in the Northeast - we are regulated to indoor hitting until a week before the season starts). You Tube video of the disc Even if you haven't used it...

    What is YOUR Biggest Coaching Challenge?

    My biggest challenge has been attitudes - lack of respect for teammates and sometimes coaches. I coach an U18 in a small town but 1/2 the team are from the U14 team to make a full roster. When we are winning everything is great. But one bad play seems to snowball into multiple bad plays and...

    Pitching Drills Help

    Keith, Understood. The problem with changing her to another position is that she is a very good pitcher - great velocity and accuracy. The town rec league does not allow her to pitch since it is not fair to the other players that no one can hit off of her. I am looking for a way to help her to...

    Pitching Drills Help

    Thanks for all the replies with great information. Here is more information about my pitcher. She is a leap and drag type of pitcher with a stride about 3 1/2 feet. She is 14 and is about 4' 10" less than 100 lbs. Her mechanics appear okay to me with her hips slightly opening up (not always 45...

    Pitching Drills Help

    Hi Everyone, Does any one have any suggestions for drills to have a pitcher use more of her legs and hips to generate velocity instead of using all arm? Thanks, Coach CJ
