    Should HS seniors EVER play JV?

    My point is this..... You can always play up. You cannot play down. When I grew up JV was for underclassmen. If you were a stellar underclassman you could dress for varsity however IF you played even one pitch you could not dress and or play in that week's JV games. An upperclassman player could...

    Should HS seniors EVER play JV?

    Since when has Junior Varsity been for ANYONE other than 9th and 10th graders. Juniors and Seniors should not be playing JV. JV is about grade level not skill level.

    Throwing

    Throwing is tied to footwork and timing (sequencing). So if you want to correct the end result you must correct the process. Wasserman is a great place to start. I teach this a lot. Every year I have girls who may throw great but lack power. We then teach them the sequencing/timing between their...

    What's your motivation?

    There are too many who are "lost" on this path you mention. All too often I see big names laying claim to the players who made it to play in college only to look and see the actual schools these kids are going to. Many of these schools would pick a talented player regardless of all the money...

    What makes a good catcher?

    M2C.... In younger ages 1oU catching is about athleticism. Athleticism allows to teach blocking and fast response times on passed balls which are inevitable with young pitchers who are learning. As the players age up command of the game matters most. I think command comes from great receiving...

    History.....

    This was awesome in many ways.... The man talking about how "Fast" the game was as opposed to baseball. The Reggie Jackson being struck out by the Brackettes pitcher. Kinda like the Jenny Finch of her day. The 90 mph pitching...lol.... And reported on 60 minutes none the less... Awesome indeed.

    Things you think you might mention on your tryout notice....

    I am laughing so much right now... see this all the time. I used to make mistakes like bragging about our wins .... like 5 years ago. I since learned it means nothing.

    Only had to kick off two crazy Dads this season! Not bad

    There are more parents than coaches so the ratio is skewed...lol

    Things you think you might mention on your tryout notice....

    We are a new A team needing a catcher, #1 pitcher and a couple of athletic utility players to join us as we are now a part of abc organization and therefore expecting seriously increased tryout attendance now despite the only thing changing is our name. And take a breath......

    Travel team choices.

    10U and 12U = Drill Heavy on Fundamental Skills vs. Situations 14U and up = Shift to a little more situations vs. Core Skills This is how we will be changing this coming year as we move from 12U up to 14U. That said, it is subjective. Good Luck.

    Metal Cleats - Catchers' Parents - Please Weigh In

    My DD's wear out along the inside edge of the shoes alongside the toe. I am going to try the pitchers toes on her next pair. She loves Ringor since moving to them.... But am interested in the Mizuno's based on this post.... I just like the foot protection the leather provides on the Ringor's. A...

    Pitching Regulations - Present the Ball???

    Since we are here again how about we list what the illegal pitches are.... I recently had an umpire call an illegal pitch a "balk". TO which I walked away and under my breath said, "no such thing in fastpitch." I know immediately when I have a good umpire versus not these days. The good ones...

    Monday Madness-First Edition

    High's - Better attitude and effort amongst the players after a 6 week stretch of lows on both. Having a player back from a injury after 8 weeks to help morale. Low's - Watching this year's group, who played awesome early on, continue to struggle to put some things together in our 4 week slump...
