    I'm back. 10U rec league

    Well, DD said that I could sign GDD up for spring softball. So, I am head coach. I put her down as catcher. She said should "I try to hit the bat with the ball?" Umm. No. Oh, and I will be 65 tomorrow.

    Fixing the overhand throw

    I am a stickler for correct throwing. One of my new students just couldn’t get it right. I had recently been through this, with a 9 yo boy. I tried patiently demonstrating, coaching and using gadgets. So, with this girl, I assigned her friend to keep encouraging her to get her arm up and not...

    Remember that 04 Rockettech?

    I have an 11 yo student, without a bat. I looked on EBay and found this 04 for about $25.00. I think I paid $350, for one 14 years ago. But pins are missing from the end cap. Someone once said what those pins are. What are they? I want to fix this.

    My granddaughter is 8, now.

    He keeps correcting me

    Rec 14u. He is a dad, that I let coach the bases. I am assistant coach, pitching coach and I keep the score book.

    Drinking at 13

    Yep. one of my rec players was overheard telling a lady that she was drinking and is grounded. The mom did come up to us after practice and said "To not give her any leeway." The girl does not focus. We say "Do not leave the dugout," and then, she is out wandering around. She plays first base...

    I really don't need any help.

    I stepped up to help a 14u team, (rec) that needed a coach. Last night I was instructing about rotational swings and how there is no "level swing" and that I know that people will yell that at them. I spotted "Grandpa" walking by and this statement caught his attention and he walks up and says...

    helmet masks

    What rule set, besides LL, lets you wear a helmet without a facemask? What about the chin strap? What is the penalty, if the batter does not have a face mask?
