TB yocoach our 12u team is made up of 3 good,1 decent, and 6 ok/not good rec players. I dont see anyway to turn these girls into a competative team in the short term.
Hit by pitch i feel your pain. She is faster at practice. But still not fast. She throws 2 and 4 seem fastballs and hits inside and outside corners. Flip, horse shoe and circle change along with a drop ball.(5 pitchs) San we do the distance drill she is easily in the outfield and getting to the...
My DD is 13 and has been pitching for about 2-2 1/2 years. Started lessons about 1 1/2 years ago. Has always been taught to throw hard first and dont try to control the ball. Trust your mechanics. she has 5-6 good pitchs but is super slow. Any drills or taughts to get in her head to help speed...
My DD takes pitching lessons from a old showcase team coach. He coached his DD until she enter high school. Her and her dad kinda tag team lessons. We have had several conversations about hitting while im on the bucket catching. She has mentioned another coach tried to teach her how to hit like...
We are in our first spring season. Most of our team will play 12u agian next year. My DD and 3 others will have to move up. Any help on where or how to recruit more 12u girls that have to move up. There are plenty of well established organizations around here. So these teams get most of the...

Thanks to all. Yeah i guess age wasnt the best info for the question. My DD is 5-2 5-3 maybe 85-90 lbs. The 30 -10 is really making a huge difference. She had a "hitch" in her swing. Now she is swinging smooth and hitting the ball. She was always a good hitter in minors. But when we moved up to...
Im hearing the older 2010-2011 Xeno's are hotter then the new 2013 bats. Anyone have anything on this. I guess the logic is the 2011 bats where really hott. So they changed the guide lines to help the bats have less pop. Also my DD is 12u turns 13 in late march what length bats are 12u girls...
Its going to be 38-40 degrees here this weekend. So weve decided to have a video session for practice. Does anyone know of any good links to some skills trianing, practices, or game segments. We hope to find videos with voice overs describing whats being displayed in the video. As always thanks...
We are starting our winter workouts this week. Im looking for tips on good all around drills. We have access to two batting cages. We can use as two or raise the center net and have one bigger cage. We are playing 12U and have some younger and less experienced girls. Thanks for any help.
Im just getting started in TB as a AC. Does anyone have any insite on Indield shifts? Any good resources i can read up on the matter? Thanks for the help.
