    Finding Instructors

    Hey folks, Where or how do you all go about finding instructors for your teams? Looking for former college players etc. Advertising? I don't even know where to begin other than emailing college coaches to see if they have players that would want to help. Thanks

    Refund Policies Suck on Rain Outs

    Half of our Showcase this weekend was rained out. There were two different parks being used with the teams splitting days at each facility. The fields where we were supposed to play on Saturday were closed so we only got in two games on Sunday. From what I understand if you play no games you...

    We are not hitting

    And I don't understand why. We crush the ball in practice off of myself or the machine. We have only the used the machine twice so it isn't like they are used to that. I am standing at the 1st base coaches box wondering why we aren't hitting these pitchers that are throwing meatballs up...

    I/R vs. HE injuries

    I had HE explained to me at a lesson with a prominent pitching coach that described the stress it creates to the pitching arm shoulder and elbow. Made sense and I still believe that. Burying myself into learning I/R has me wondering if that stress is now placed on the hips instead of the...

    Showcase Play

    I have players on my team that aren't interested in playing for college but they don't know why. I think it is a matter of them not realizing all the options out there outside of the 32 teams they saw in the WCWS. Others may have interest in it if someone shows some interest in them. I have...

    SportsNation tournaments?

    Anyone play in sportsnation tournaments in and around Richmond or Va Beach? I am trying to gauge turnout for the 18u level.

    Dr. Yeager

    What are your guys thoughts on his teachings? I see some of what he is talking about in my DD's swing as far as the shoulders and lead arm not passing the lead foot to create the whip. I also like his bucket demonstration when describing hip rotation.

    Coaches, why do you coach?

    I know I should leave well enough alone and everything I post will be put under a microscope because of a thread here on this subforum. I don't care, I owned and stood by what I said. After reading a facebook post about the thread and how I suck as a coach, need a forum to hold my hand and...

    Scrimmage Etiquette

    Not sure etiquette is the right word but it is my feeling that scrimmages should have umpires. I get the substituting whenever and not keeping score but I would at least want the game called correctly. What do you all think? And is $50 a game decent to pay them?

    Type of spin a good hit produces

    Didn't know where to post this so I went with here. DD was hitting last night and had some hard hit line drives that were knuckle balls and some with back spin. Which one is better and what does it mean? My take is a knuckle was hit square and back spin means she hit the bottom half of the ball.

    Advantages of joining organization

    I am curious as to what the advantages are of joining an organization over being a singular team or two outside of being a 501c or whatever it is. I may have the opportunity to do so but it will test my convictions. I'm leaning against it because I may have to cut some girls that I committed...

    Uniforms?

    Where do you all get uniforms from? I know there are a plethora of online places but can't seem to find what I am looking for. I'll know it when I see it though. Just looking for good deals on home/away jerseys.

    Selling 2014 LXT and Pocket Radar

    If this isn't ok then delete the post... I have a 33-23 LXT I bought DD in the tail end of May. She doesn't like it and is back to her RockeTech. The top of the tape is coming off so a tape job could be in order and there are a few chips out of the paint at the top where it looks like it was...

    Anything good in this swing?

    http://youtu.be/eKCEV9lPGIM I like some of it but not all of it. Specifically the fire. Not much after that.

    Cut or keep?

    I have a player that I am on the fence on. Never hustles, never practices outside of team practices, misses a LOT of practices and wants to pitch. She pitches ok at the level we were playing but will get hammered at 18u. She is a young girl on the team (15) and could develop into a good ball...

    How to teach the intangibles

    We just finished up our first season as a team. We are moving to 18u in fall as I have some pitching help coming over from another team which will help considerably. The problem I have with my team at the moment is with intangibles. Things that make good athletes, great. Two examples...

    I yelled at an umpire...

    And I'm not very happy about it. He blew three calls at third and the first blown call was in favor of me. All three plays were at 3rd and involved tags. The first girl was mine and she was out by a mile. I'm talking not even close. Called her safe. The other team appealed to the HPU and...

    Tape over players name on uniform?

    I had two girls leave (read poached) my team after our last tournament. I had to find a pick up player to have enough girls to get us through this weekend. I ordered a uniform that was supposed to be delivered yesterday but received a call saying the vendor screwed up etc so now I don't have...

    A little scared to post this...

    But I want to get better and for her to get better so here it goes...we are just over a year removed from spinal surgery and just got back into pitching this past Fall in little doses. Sorry I can't slow it down from coaches eye. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jzLRewieeeo It was a bad pitch and...
