    Coming Back From Injury - Unconditioned Pitching Arm

    My starting pitcher hasn't been able to play for the last 3 weeks due to a wrist injury on her throwing side. Total injury time was about 5 weeks. No fracture. She's been practicing with the team the whole time but most throwing and all swing away was shut down till she had no pain. This past...

    Coach Says DD Should Slap - Against Her Will

    Long story short, my family had DD in a top travel team for the past 3 years and slapped pretty good. She played up with girls almost 3 yrs older and we reached the point of diminishing returns and DD was already demotivated by hitting balls in the dirt over and over. She's over it. I have to...

    Getting Hit - By Your Own DD

    I heard that people use the soft, low compression type balls to lessen the blow and for indoor practice. But what's your guys opinions?

    Preparing 9yo for 12u

    Aloha! My DD just turned 9 in May and we're moving up to 12u with our current team for a bunch of reasons. My heart wants to keep her down but our club just can't get the girls to fill a 10u team. Move teams you suggest? We've looked around and the teams just aren't at our level - we won our...

    Changing from Righty to Lefty

    My DD played 8u (she just turned 8 this year 5/2013) and was playing for a rec league team and bats right. We recently moved to a travel club, A division. DD is now playing 10u because they have no 8u team but she still gets compliments from our new coaches that her eye-hand coordination is very...
