    Question: When do increases in speed taper off?

    it is funny how it works out that way... I think proper mechanics are a big factor but i also think that some kids just have god given talent to get that speed. A girl from our state, Erin Gabriel (U Tenn) was not a very tall girl (5'7) but was quite muscular and had great mechanics- she was...

    First D1 college camp

    It has been our experience that they don't necessarily divide you by "age" DD went to a Big Ten camp in December- she is also in 8th grade and 14u. we legged the miles to this camp because her TB Coach received a phone call from University's AC, inviting dd to the Camp. Campers were...

    Premier Softball in the Midwest

    I agree, the McCook event on January 2nd was excellent- a solid turnout for college coaches and the girls got to play four games! Looking forward to it again next year.

    dd pitching video- thoughts/feedback ??

    Yes, the way she is taught to throw the rise is different than her other pitches (stay open longer, keep weight back) and of course, a different spin and to get under the ball. In her drop curve she uses shoulder which she is trying to "fix" and use more wrist/fingers.

    How Far Should Balls Hit Off of a Tee Go?

    back to original Q, my dd's 14u team has 6 girls (2 99's 8th graders, 4 98's - 1 8th grader & 3 freshman) that can hit the fence or clear the fence hitting off a T at home plate...the girls range in size from 5'5 120 lbs to 5'9 170 lbs. I'm not saying they do this 100% of the time, but...

    Anyone play PGF?

    I too found it odd the PGF Nats for 14u & 16u (currently scheduled for 20-26) conflict with Atlanta Legacy Showcase and Orland Sparks Showcase (Chicago, Ill.) -both are the weekend of July 19-21 and both are big showcases.

    Question about college showcases...

    This was our experience as well. Dd's team played in the Colorado Freedom Invitational in Broomfield this summer as 13u-this tournament overlapped several days with Boulder IDT. Great competition but we didn't see any coaches watching 14u. When they played up 16u at Orland Sparks in Chicago a...

    time to move on?

    I think because she is younger, it lookslike she is getting scrutinized more albeit unfairly. Confidence is huge in pitching and I think if your daughter is used as a closer when the team is loosing, (almost to just kill innings to rest the other pitchers) that will not help her confidence...
