    Anyone use baseballs in practice?

    Softballs are harder than a wool wound and cork core baseball. Softballs carry more energy due to their mass.

    How cold is too cold?

    Playing in Colorado Springs temp is 25 with wind and snow. If you are going too play in the cold, you need to practice in in the cold.

    Alternative to TCB's

    We use these and are very happy with them.

    A revelation.

    Cut your losses now. Bad effort and attitude only hurt a team, parent or athlete. Had to cut a parent with bad attitude already this year, wish we had tryouts for parents too.

    RVP for Other Sports?

    They like to watch themselves run in slow motion!

    RVP for Other Sports?

    I don't see why it couldn't. I use it for many things with my team and my children when they are messing around. Effective and fun tool.

    Great Article about keeping score in kid sports

    I saw this article and thought I would share with DFP. I have always felt that score should be kept in all sports, gives the kids something to play for. :cool: Should Scores Be Kept In Children

    Pitching signs

    I agree GM, I try to teach DD and her catchers how to call a game. They have a better view of blues strike zone than the coaches in the dug out. The catcher should be the coach on the field directing traffic.

    TB Coaching Question

    HC does not have any girls on team. Team pays for all of his hotel stays at tournaments. Around $900.

    If someone is injured do you take the extra base?

    I will say that when we have a lead of more than 10-13 points our HC and I (AC) will have the girls work on aspects of their game that they are not used to. We will place them at different postions and change what they would normaly do at bat, power hitters will bunt or slap, slappers will hit...

    If someone is injured do you take the extra base?

    No where close to being the greatest coach, average at best, always learning something new. Gender does have something to do with this discussion. Had it been a male pitcher in bb this discussion would not be had. To my point, when on offense the object is to score as many points as you can, on...

    If someone is injured do you take the extra base?

    As a coach, my job is to teach the athletes to win. I might slow down if we are up more than 20. The offense is supposed to score, the defense is supposed to stop the scoring. Even at 12U this is the case. No problem running up a score or having one ran up on us. It is part of the game, take...

    Coach Lotief abruptly resigns at UL.

    farewell to a great coach I really enjoyed watching ULL, I am going to continue to watch. I wonder if the spot grip will continue on there. They seemed to have a great deal of success with it.

    mojo ball review

    mojo I just bought 36 and my teams likes them. They do come off the bat better than our Diamond Force weighted balls. Both have a place in our hitting workouts. DS loves the Mojo, he can play catch in the living room and worry about breaking anything. (He's 7).

    Gotta laugh...the money-making tactics of big tournaments...

    Please do not blame Colorado, This is strictly TCS at work. Their tournaments are usually $100 to $200 more than any other tournament hosting org.. TCS seems to think that they are elite, yet they are no better tournaments than ASA, USSSA, etd...

    Coaching Issues

    I have just started a new 12U team as well, Iif I had to give myself a title it would be president of org and the ac. BC makes all playing time and batting issues. If my own SS is not pitching well or getting on base she is going to be on the bench. Clearly outlined this expectation at tryouts...
