    Still working at it,

    I am posting 2 links of DD hitting in the cages. The first one is from a couple of years ago, the other is a week ago. I feel she is making progress. I recorded the most recent video on my iPhone in slow motion it ia really cool. I showed it to her and the first thing she says to me is "I need...

    to throw or not to throw...

    Catcher has to make the throw The girl in the dugout telling the catcher to look before she throws is in the dugout, not on the field. if she is such a great player then why is she in the dugout?

    Did the same thing last year. DD played USSSA nationals in MD. She missed the first game at states for LL all stars. We came back and won states.Eastern regionals in CT then went to Seatle/Kirkland WA for the Junior softball World series. It was the best time she ever had on a field. Playing...

    Chapman and the Mask?

    X years ago baseball catchers were going out there with a board straped to there legs. Shinguards were not invented. X years ago BB pitchers could take sandpaper, spit, get the ball dirty and use the same ball the whole game. X years ago the mound was lowerd to help the batters. X years ago BB...

    feeder teams

    Right now your DD is 10. You guys as a family have YEARS of softball ahead of you. Many cold windy days/nights at the field, hot scorching no air blowing weekends. Research any team she will want to play for. Ask questions of the coaches. How many girls on the team, playing time, practice...

    Velocity Difference Between 12U and 14U

    All I knw is that the first time DD moved back from 40' to 43' She about killed me with the drop ball. I was used to catching it in one spot but it went right under my glove and dad had to buckett bail.

    How often do you strike out?

    Played 102 games last year. I have no idea how many PA's. Struck out 8 times. Every one was looking. She puts the bat on the ball.

    The MOST basic hitting concept I don't see on this site

    What drills do you like to use to teach timing?

    Concerns about both my DDs

    Sitting the bench for all but one game a weekend is why girls go play soccer. For girls to get better they have to play. Get on the best team she can play most of the games. You wouldn't have a 10y/o girl pitch every game on a weekend. The same should be for the catchers.

    10,000 Hours Doesn't Make You Perfect

    I heard a college coach at a clinic say. "It is time to stop practicing for softball and start training to be a better softball player."

    The tunnel is next to the boat. The pole barn is 30x60. The local rec league fields are right across the street.

    I would like to add the coach was wrong. She did right. What happens the next time? Never go for the lead runner?
