Forum philosophy on pitching

[sluggers]

The goal for this forum is to create a resource so parents can learn the basics of pitching and then teach the basics to their daughters. Then, if their daughters have the temperament and desire to become "really good", they can go to pitching instructors like Ken, Hal, Amy, Bill, and Screwball.

I believe that there are certain things, such as breaking pitches, that simply cannot be taught through the forum. On the other hand, enough of the basic pitching motion can be taught to give kids an opportunity to try pitching.

When I got involved in pitching some 20 years ago, there was nothing except a handful of contradictory and confusing video tapes. Finding a good pitching instructor was a little like Diogenes' search for an honest man. Through our collaborative efforts, we have created a tremendous resource for pitching.

Thanks to everyone for their help.

This is the best forum on the net. It's helped me tremendously and I've learned a lot. With some of Ray's advice my DD improved tremendously the last few years. Youngest DD is just starting to pitch. I am getting her started off much better than my older DD. I'm not as confused and I have the general idea of what she is doing and why certain pitches are the way they are.

One thing I like about the forum is it does not allow trolls to stop conversations to fit their montra of name calling and such.
