    So Sunday we are playing and the opposing team hits a deep ball down the right field line my right fielder turns to run after it and the Home plate umpire shouts Foul Ball, Foul Ball, Foul Ball, Let it Go, so my fielder lets it go.

    One thing I hate about tryout season

    Sorry all but I need to vent. Tryouts have pretty much ended in this area. We have selected our team of 12 players who responded they would play. Had 2 practices already, sent out emails thanking all the other for trying out but we have decided in other players. Turned a few girls away who...

    the PowerPush

    Has anyone used this training aid? How do you feel about it. I have a pitcher who pivots her foot and is losing pushoff power. Is it worth the $50, or should I attempt to make one myself.

She understands that it can allow batters to time her better not to mention her leg looks like hell after pitching, but she can't seem to get rid of it. She has been pitching this way for quite a...

    Using legs

    Can anyone give me drills to get a young pitcher to start using her legs. She pretty much taught herself how to pitch, but she throws all arm. Any drills or tips will be great.

    Hooking Arm

    One of my pitchers recently began hooking her arm out at the end of her pitch (after about 3 O'clock). Is there any drills or something I can do to help her stop it. It is causing her to throw outside pitches constantly.
