    Almost time for Rachel Garcia Signature Cleats?

    While everyone is talking about how the passage of the name, image, likeness bill in California will possibly change things in football and men's basketball it could have an even bigger affect on women's athletics where the is basically no money to be made professionally. The law doesn't take...

    Merging multiple players from one team into another team

    Our team returned nine players for the coming season and we are bringing in five new players. Normally, integrating new players is relatively straight forward, but in this case all five of the new players are from the same team and have known each other for years. We will have two groups that...

    How is your favorite college team doing this season?

    Looking for Suggestions on 11 Year Old Pitcher

    My daughter is 11 and making the transition to a 12" ball and 40' distance this fall. The distance hasn't been a big issue, but the larger ball has been. She has pretty small hands and is afraid of having the ball slip out of her hand inadvertently. She has been pitching for a little over two...

    Breaking In Easton Stealth Clarity SSR1B

    A friend of mine just picked up an Easton Stealth Clarity SSR1B for me for $50 on craigslist. It looks practically brand new. This will be my daughter's first composite bat and it looks like it will need some breaking in. Other than just having her use it in practices and games what...

    I am the coach of a minors Little League team of 10 and 11 year olds. Our team is fortunate to have two experienced, and by minors Little League standards, quite competent pitchers. We have four other aspiring pitchers who have had intermittent success. When I am working one on one with my...

    How many defensive coaches are allowed on the field at one time? Last night the opposing team had their pitching coach and head coach on the field at the same time during at stoppage in play. The pitching coach was talking to the pitcher, the head coach talking to the infield and catcher. I...

    Was Stealing Home Poor Sportsmanship?

    I am the coach of a LL minors team (9-11 year olds). We are not a team that is trying to rack up wins. Everyone plays the same number of innings and roughly the same percentage of innings infield and outfield. We bat a continuous batter order all season long so everyone gets the same number...

    10u Rec. Pitching - How Much Suffering Is Too Much?

    I am gearing up for my first season as head coach of a 10u rec team (Little League Minors). I have been the head coach at various lower levels for the last four seasons, but this will be my first year coaching full time player pitch. I have no idea what I will have for pitching as we are still...

    Slow Motion Versus Stop Action for Teaching Mechanics

    I am the coach of a 10u rec fastpitch team and a 6u T-ball team. Like many of you I have read “The Talent Code” by Daniel Coyle and I would like to implement as much of his deep practice methodology as I can.
