    gorilla gold usage during game

    Thanks everybody for your input. I don't know what the rules state, but I will probably try to have her keep it her on herself while pitching. Half in and half out of the top of her pants or something, but I will have to check on rules.

    gorilla gold usage during game

    Ok, this may seem like a very dumb question, but how do your pitchers use Gorilla Gold during a game. Meaning where do they put it and do they leave it in the bag? My 14U DD doesn't have pockets on uniforms and not sure what to do with the towel. Maybe I'm overthinking it, but just wanted...

    Practice Competition Drills

    Here’s one I just started doing the other night at practice (10u). We call it “Throw it to First” (yeah dumb but simple). Split teams evenly. Place a BigMouth BowNet just in front of first base. Coach will be hitting from home plate, girls will start by lining up where your 2nd basemen...

    First Base Interference Intent?

    Fair question, good one too by the way. She got low enough as the ball was coming in, that it looked as if she were playing catcher, if that helps you visualize. Obviously, she would not normally catch or stop the ball that way, but play developed quickly and did what she could to stop the...

    First Base Interference Intent?

    Okay, so last night at my daughters HS Varsity game, we were playing the 1st place team currently in conference (we are currently two games back in 2nd), game was at home, so big game and big crowd. Daughter starts at 2nd base. Here is the situation: Runner on 2nd, one out. Batter shows...

    Best portable pitching mat to avoid any more indoor hard-floors?

    Bought this one for my DD, have had it since Xmas. I have two DD's (9 and 12) that use it a good three times a week. It's heavy due to the backing, but is much softer than the gym floors. Softball Pitching Mats

    Young wannabe slapper

    Thank you everybody for your input. As many have stated, we are going to focus on batting this year. If she works hard on that and increasing her running speed, we may progress a little towards this fall and see how it goes. Thanks everybody!!

    Young wannabe slapper

    Ok, I'm coaching a first year 10u team, and yes I have a daughter playing on the team. She turning 10 in September and is a lefty. She is very interested in slapping. When she watches games either on TV or her sisters playing other teams with slappers, she has to makes sure to point it out to...

    Equipment recommendations for new 10u team

    Ok, have a dumb question to add on. Most of these girls (including myself and my daughter) will be moving up to 12u NEXT year and I don't want to spend much on 11" softballs knowing they will be moving up. Is there any harm in using cheaper slowpitch softballs for practice? I only need the...

    Easton Synergy Speed fp11sy10

    FWIW.... DD's team has this bat in 32/22, DD has a Stealth in 33/23. While it is a good bat, she gets much more out of the Stealth. I can't quantify it with numbers, but she has never hit the ball as far, and with as much energy with the Synergy, compared to the Stealth. Both bats were...

    Equipment recommendations for new 10u team

    Thanks for all the feedback. One of the biggest things I forgot was the water cooler, thats a biggie. I will have to look into the TCB balls. I actually saw them at a sporting goods store, and couldn't figure out what they were. Sounds like a good idea.

    To confront the HC or see if he handles it himself

    Personally I can see an accidental slip, however continued and depending on the severity, I would have probably asked the AC to watch his language and\or pulled my daughter. It’s a bad example for the players, and for the program.

    Equipment recommendations for new 10u team

    Ok, so I have been asked to coach a 10u team. I “agreed” to do this, to help the program (yes I have a daughter on the team). Team will be new, but the club is already established (I have a 16 and 12 year old on the two other teams). I have a coaching degree, and have coached youth programs...

    HELP WITH BAT CHOICES in cold whether

    Not to hijack the thread, but I have read in other threads on other boards, the Easton CV12's can be used in colder weather, but have not talked to many that use them. Any body use them in cold weather?
