I'll try to set the stage here with the least amount of information. I coach currently, rec. league, 10u to 14u, various teams various times. We have good talent but need better pitchers. I've been in softball and coache rec. many years. I feel I coach great overall form in every aspect but I'm a constant learner. What I would like to do now is devote more time to teaching pitchers. I have my local rec. teams willing. I'd like to start my pitchers in Feb., we are looking for an indoor site and will have one shortly. I'd like to group the 8u and 10u together and the 12u and 14u together. Here goes the list of questions.
How long to practice each group? Good warm exercise, I'm strong on body weight exercises. I also teach to drive hard off the mound, leg strength.
Grips? I teach the 4 seam fastball. I really need what grip does what for the older girls and I realise wrist snaps are the key also.
Need to keep young girls involved and excited.
Also read some of the post here and am not up on the acronyms, so please explain. oh, almost forgot. The local org. that runs my teams doesn't want to spend money, go figure that. I'm sure I'm forgeting something but as they arise I'll shoot them out there.
Great site by the way, love it!
