    Pre-game warm-up routines

    HS coach here as well, and I like to try to get to out of town games at least an hour and a half ahead of time, and home games, we'd start hitting about an hour or hour and 15 minutes before game time, just depended on the year and how quick the teams got it done. Here's what we do though...

    Favorite Game/Practice Balls

    Love the Dudleys for game balls, but the MacGregors are a good practice ball that won't break the bank and last a good while.

    Number of Teams in an Org.

    Our organization is growing and we have the possibility of being able to field more than 1 team in a couple age divisions. How does your organization do multiple teams? Do you put the best players on 1 team, the rest on another? Do you make the best 2 teams possible and let them go...

    Complete game lapse of swing

    Give her 1 goal in a game: Hit the ball hard. Doesn't matter where it goes, but just have that mindset when you're in the box.

    Never seen this before, what's ruling?

    Yea, I understand with that age group, but just made me curious what the rule would be for older kids as well, if for some reason it happened by accident. What would the proper ruling be? Just made me think, since I'd never seen it before.

    It was just league ball, coach pitch.

    Blast motion vs Diamond Kinetics

    Anybody here use either of these to aid in instruction? Looking to get one, just not sure which would be the best option for me. Any pros/cons of each? Thanks

    Never seen this before, what's ruling?

    It was baseball, but still never seen it before. Sons game last night and the kid hits the ball, runs to 1st. The throw got past the 1st baseman, while R1 was turning to come back to the base, he just picks the ball up and proceeds to hold it for a bit, then give it to 1st baseman again...

    Blast, DK, etc....

    I've been looking into getting either a Blast Motion, Diamond Kinetic Swing Tracker, or something similar. I'd like to hear your experiences and preferences on which is better and all the good stuff. Just looking for more info from people who've actually used it before. Thanks!

    NFCA Conference

    Travel Ball Coaches: Team Insurance? What company/How much?

    I use this insurance as well, and it has worked for everybody we have played with. Also more cost effective than the others, which is nice.

    Is it a requirement that varsity baseball and softball be equally funded?

    The uniform issue could also come down to coach preference. I know in some of the school districts I have worked in, you are expected to buy uniforms with your budget. If this is the case, the coach may choose to buy just 1 uniform as to not use up as much of the budget. Every district is...

    Team Hoodies

    We've used them for high schools a few times, but I didn't see any youth sizes, which is something we are going to need.

    Where are some places you have used to get hoodies for your team?

    Advice Needed

    I have a kid that is really struggling with the move up from T-Ball to coach pitch. Struggling to make contact and having a hard time with timing the pitch and is usually very late with the swing. What kinds of things can I do to help with this?

    Moving up to 8U Coach Pitch.....

    Yes, we have been doing this as well.

    Moving up to 8U Coach Pitch.....

    I have an 8U team and we have quite a few kids who are moving up from t-ball and some of them are having trouble adjusting to getting pitched to. Any suggestions on how to kind of shorten the learning curve? We currently are doing hitting stations each practice with tees and different...

    6U T-Ball Help

    A friend asked me to help out and coach a t-ball team, and I decided to accept the challenge. My goals are for them to have fun and want to keep playing in the future, but I want to be able to teach them the fundamentals while doing that. I'm trying to think of different things to do, so it's...

    simple effective bunt coverage for rec all star team

    Sorry for the confusion, but yes I was talking about the fake bunt/steal if the middle IF are going to the corners. If you can read it and know, then that's perfect, but It won't always be that easy. I just don't like giving them 2nd that easy if I was wrong about it. There's no way you're...

    simple effective bunt coverage for rec all star team

    If you only have one bunt defense, you're essentially going to give up an easy/easier steal to the opponents at either 2nd or 3rd. If your middle IF cover the corners, any bunt/steal is a free base to 2nd every time. If SS covers 2nd and P/3B covers 3rd depending on who doesn't field the bunt...
