    Falling out with PC

    I have found lots of great information on this site for various pitches. We recently changed pitching coaches but had a 3 month lull in between. It was nice in a way to not have to be at lessons or watch my D's face as her PC gave instruction on something we had been correcting at home. We...

    1st year TB...matching bags and helmets

    I would talk to someone on the team that can give you a better answer than "i dont know". If you explain your concerns and they are not open to finding a good compromise, what happens when you bring the next concern to the coach?

    softball fan etiquette?

    Ive not come across this before. I have seen players from teams sit on a side and cheer for the side they are on, but in a way that brings attention to themselves (making the cheering about themselves as opposed to the girls on the field).

    Video of 12 yo DD

    Holding the phone on target while catching the ball is a skill in and of itself so WTG! Looking forward to seeing your other videos.

    What does the typical pitching lesson cost?

    Glad things are working out for your DD and her pitching lessons! the discount helps! Weve seen 3 PC's so far. First one was a clinic style anywhere from 3-6 girls , was $15 per hour. Next was one on one with local D2 coach and that was $20 an hour. Now we drive an hour and pay $45 per hour...

    DD and Mask

    My niece is 14u and she asked me if she could try pitching with a mouth piece rather than her mask. I said lets wait until nationals is over and then we can discuss the mouth piece. She was ok with that and then asked if she could use just her mouth piece while playing first base. I felt like...

    How to beat Team USA

    I am sort of ok with the turnaround of team USA players. It gives more ladies the opportunity to check that box. Whereas previously you had women going to 2-3 Olympic games. Some not deserving of their 2-3 trip but were still members of the team for whatever reason.

    How to beat Team USA

    Cheridan also came from a stint on the USA Jr Nat Team and one of the coaches for USA is from the Ducks.. so, she is qualified, she has had more international exp than any of the other candidates and the coaches are aware of her work ethic/attitude. In a pinch, i can see why she was picked. I do...

    Pitching Coach

    We recently checked out a PC suggested by a friend on the team. It included a 30 minute session as well as the opportunity to watch the PC with another student. As far as pitching coaches from colleges. You may run into issues once your child becomes a Freshman in highschool. Also, during the...

    Will never catch again with out shin guards

    Took one off the top of the foot earlier today (thankfully i was wearing shin guards). She has hit me previously, but one still leaves a mark. Was with her old pitching coach in a clinic style setting and took one straight to the shin bone. I had to walk it off and thankfully i was wearing...

    Ricketts out, Hawkins in... Team USA

    Went to the USSSA Pride game tonight in Kissimmee Fl. and guess who was there! Keilani was mobbed during inning 3 for autographs and whatnot. She took it all in stride and was VERY VERY nice. She signed balls and took photos in between innings. She was up and down and in and out of her row...
