    have a player who is tilting her head. The only way i can describe it is she goes from her eyes being horizontal to tilting her head so her eyes are almost vertical when she is in her swing. Do you have any drills or tips to work her out of this

    Shorts or Pants

    I would like to switch my team over to pants and replace their softball shorts. I cannot get my girls (sorry I still call them my girls) to buy into it. I like the look of pants better then shorts and I tell them it will help with scrapes on legs and thighs. They say it will be too HOT. We...

    College Coaches Lying?

    Marc, I know alot better now than I did with my older daughter. 1st the bad, she went to a SUNY college, that is where she wanted to go even after checking out some private unversities. The coach did have a lot of contact back and forth with my daughter and the coach "was looking forward to...

    Should DD play Travel & League?

    Izzy, Just my oppinion but I think your daughter can play both. especially if she is not playing school ball yet. I could be wrong but I'm sure she wants to play and "Hang out" with her freinds who probably play little league. Remember for most girls it is still a very social event. Just...

    Tagging Up

    Tagging up I agree with everyone here, I also encourage aggressive base running and if the player happens to be thrown out on a good relay, tip your hat to the defense but encourage the base runners. Another thing I do as the 3rd base coach when there is a runner on second. After every pitch...

    I am in the same situation as my 13U daughter has just started catching in September. I'm trying to find drills and different ways to practice with her. I do have her attending a 3 weekend Clinic for catchers at Hofstra University. I've read all the posts here and decided to ordered the...

    Where to put throwing hand?

    Mike I do encourage my catchers to put their hand behind the glove with runners on base. The only thing I do a little different is the fist is not tight around the thumb. If I was to describe it your index and middle finger pads(where your finger prints are) should touch your thumb knuckle and...

    Is yelling really benificial?

    1st of all I would never yell or shout at any individual player. My thoughts are: If I have to yell to be heard then they weren’t listening. I used to be a fiery coach. I found out that this worked for some, but for others I was scaring them half to death. I’ve since changed my approach and...

    Catching Gear

    Hello RobD, I just ordered the scorpion gear this week myself. I think you answered your own question about a glove, you are ordering the nokona catchers glove, so go with a Nokona fielders glove also. I still think they are the best gloves onthe market. Plus made in the USA... Happy New Year...

    Miken Icon and Icon Light

    I heard rumors that Miken is coming out with a bat to replace their NEW Icon and Icon light. We are planning on purchasing them for the entire team but I want to make sure we are not purchasing (already) outdated equipment. I'm hearing one will be all composite and the other will be half...

    How fast is fast - running

    Our team is a 1st year 14U team so most of the girls have just turned 13. I timed them in November going home to first before we started working out and adding conditioning to our workout just to get a baseline time. The average time was 3.36, with a low of 3.02 and high of 3.78 (mostly...

    Catching Gear

    Hello RobD, Just an update I ordered the Schutt Scorpion gear. The shin guard are the triple flex that cover the gap between the knee pad and shin guard. I don't order her a glove because the one she has is still good. But if your DD is serious the only brand glove I would order is Nokona...

    Tanel360 or Ringor

    Looking for opinions on the new rigor Diamond Gem™ Cleat. My DD's have used ringor but about 3 years ago have switched over to the Tanel 360 they like the ringor but felt that the weight was too much for a cleat. The new ringer Diamond Gem™ Cleat claims it is very light 2oz per cleat vs the...
