Thanks - We go to a Tincher Coach...... And that's the other thing..... for a 9/10 year old to learn that Rotation throw.... Jesus!!!!! So many things to go wrong.
I almost also regret starting her with Tincher - But, again, we'll see. I think Denny is coming to our town in a few months so, we'll see him... And I read his blog.
What also sucks about youth Sports and Pitching is that in the Rec leagues I see... the team that celebrates, Carries the trophy off the field and gets all the glory on Facebook is the same team coaches that cried all year about having no pitching and it not being fair..... So instead of Growing pains of working thru 2-3 girls learn a windmill, they trot out Girls just lobbing the ball and Win it all.....
So, the girls that Work at it 100x more get Zero Reward.....

I feel it's a lot of time for a 10 year old girl to spend on 1 activity when they have social life, Homework and other activities... Again, granted, if your kid is the next great thing, like she's an Olympic Gymnast or whatever - more power to you.... I just feel like it's a HUGE mountain to Climb.
And I also think it's important for 9/10 years olds to experience Success from the hard work...
I am going to take the devil's advocate position on this for a second, since I do feel this way sometimes since I am the one who has taught my DD pretty much everything she knows to this point

9/10 year olds, Rec league.. all the glory on FaceBook, come on man!!, lol. Growing pains are necessary to learn the proper way to pitch. Those girls who were taught to lob the ball over the plate will be lobbing the ball over the plate for rest of their lives if they do not experience these growing pains. The girls who went through the growing planes will have moved on to the next level or they will be one hell of a Rec pitcher. I'm happy for your DD for having fun doing something challenging, being mentally tough and dedicated, good on her!!
