Softballdad, why not have her start with her hands in the strike zone, then she wouldn't have to drop them.

Softballdad97, What state are you in and what the heck kind of diamond is that? I am referring to the grass next to home plate. I mean there is no batters box, the plate is a couple of inches out of the ground and it appears that there is grass all around. Your girls need a ball field. 
Hah, you should see my grounds. All grass. It hurts my heart. I have to pitch on mats (it's OK though, I'm tearing every one)
It's worse because my home association has 12 skinned diamonds. So I went from the best softball grounds in my state, to soccer fields.
Loving all the pictures!

Amy, There is a lot of demand for the fields in the Chicago-land area, and unfortunately the occasional tournaments are not always played on the best fields, especially at the younger levels. Many travel ball tournaments are fun raisers and are played on various park district, middle and elementary school fields. High School Varsity fields are hard to come by and normally off limits. Some of the more prestigious tournaments are played on better facilities. Our home town fields are nice but it can be hit or miss going to some tournaments. At least we're out their playing and learning to get to the older and higher levels and that's what really matters.

softballdad, Thanks. I was thinking that you were going to say NYC, but Chicago makes sense. We never saw those kinds of diamonds in Central IL., at all. I played all my life in IL.
What age groups Big Momma? We played the Chi-Town express 12u a couple times last year. DD#3 looks a bit big for a 12u but if memory serves correctly half that team looked like they could have driven themselves to the fields. I gotta see if I can find the picture of my 3rd baseman at bat against them. She was still shorter than the catcher when she was in her crouch.
