    What are your favorite measurables?

    It is an older team and am trying to benchmark for some offseason goals. Not just pitching, but hitting, overhand throw, base running, etc.

    What are your favorite measurables?

    Going to put together a baseline for my new team and wondering what you think are the most important measurable things? I have access to a radar gun and a stopwatch, so go nuts!

    I need help recording games!

    Is that the one called Battery BackPac? http://shop.gopro.com/accessories/battery-bacpac/ABPAK-401.html Little's Dad, the external supply just acts like a "charger" to the camera/battery then?

    How do you appropriately stress fitness?

    This probably has a lot more to do with it than anything. We're an older 14U solid B team striving for A. Conflicting opinions of what that means is likely at the root of all of this.

    How do you appropriately stress fitness?

    We have been for two years now. I think the issue is more that some kids think that Player A is inherently better since they may naturally built a certain way. While Player B could get a whole lot more power and speed than they likely expect by doing the work. We're at the point where we...

    How do you appropriately stress fitness?

    As the title reads, how do you best approach this topic on your team? There are several kids that could benefit from additional core strength, speed, and general fitness. I am certainly aware that saying the wrong thing could be upsetting and even devastating to a 15 year old girl. Wondering...

    I need help recording games!

    How many 1h30m games will each battery and card handle? Also about how high up on the backstop are you mounting?

    I need help recording games!

    Share your preferred equipment, filming locations, tips, tricks etc. Ideally I'd like to have something that records the whole game that I can mount and grab at the end of the game. Good enough resolution to see a decent part of the field. Battery life and memory to do four games. Any...

    How long to become a competitive pitcher?

    Long story short my 14U daughter may have to give up her favorite position as a catcher/first base due to what has been an extended battle with tendon issues on her catching hand. She's played at a high level for a while and since she won't be making $20M a year in the pros, it's best for her...

    Hitting with back issues

    Fix the disc, or find lower risk activities. Switching to a different style of hitting will not cure the base problem. If she slides and ruptures the disc that's instant surgery right there.

    Glove Modifications?

    Thanks for all the tips. I'll be reaching out to Rous just as soon as ANNASDAD gets his info to me. Ordered the remoldable one as well to see how that works. After looking at the EvoShield she has, I think it is waaaaay too big for her hand, probably part of the problem. I may consider...

    Glove Modifications?

    I will get a hold of him for sure. It's not really about expanding the hole, as the guard fits in there no problem. The problem is that it shifts around, is a little large, and can get lost. I'd like to figure out something permanent to the glove so those issues go away.

    Glove Modifications?

    Emailed him just now, thanks!

    Glove Modifications?

    My daughter has a Vinci CBW413 Fastpitch First Baseman's mitt and absolutely loves it! After trying several, she settled on this one about two years ago and hasn't touched another glove since. Early last year she sustained a thumb injury. It is fully healed, but with kids throwing harder she...

    Where can I watch college softball games?

    Please list your favorite sites, streams, or tv channels to watch college softball. Bonus points if they are free or you don't need to cross sign in with cable. I'm trying to get the kids some resources to watch high level games for inspiration!!!!

    Bunt coverages....?

    We'll be first year 14U and everyone is pretty darn good, no hiding or needing to compromise because one kid can't execute. We did BC2 for a few years, and moved to BC1 because F4 would fail to block throws that weren't perfect. All our pitchers are pretty alert and have done well covering the...

    What's your favorite and why? Please detail all infielder responsibilities.

    Roster size limitations

    I don't have any rule books handy, so wondering if anyone knows the various governing bodies rules on roster size? I have a younger 14U team that is looking to split some time with an older 14U team over the fall and early spring. All combined we could have as many as 15 that want to play at a...

    She just quits...

    Think it could be a case of dad sucking the fun out of the game or being more interested in it than she is? I've seen a few players bow out for those very reasons.

    Being lucky

    That luck seems to pass around our team each year. OBP is sky high yet the actual at bats look terrible.
