How often do they practice together, and for what length? These are excellent drill ideas that I'll be sharing with DD...keep the videos and drills coming please!

They have been meeting once a week for an hour, but their schedules for the next 2 weeks are going to be a bit conflicted. We love her and all, but flying her to Panama City (where we will be) from Aurora, Colorado (where she's going to be playing) is a BIT much. We'll see her again whenever we get back from Florida. We've been keeping in touch everyday though. She's having a good tourney so far up there. We leave for Florida on Saturday morning. Super Excited.

I'm a coach on our 8u boys baseball and 10u girls softball. The discussion has come up on how the catchers feet should be. On top of the toes or flat footed? To me I think you have better mobility being flat footed, I could be completely wrong...just not sure. Or are we over thinking this? What say yall?

Thanks

The only time they should be on their toes is for giving signs. Otherwise, flat footed. This is per the Weavers NECC video.

All MLB catchers are flat footed, if that means anything. My friend, who caught in MLB, told me that they are taught to keep the heels down.

Just watch an MLB game on TV. You won't see any up on their toes, except maybe a few who are while giving the sign, but then they get flat footed.

Nice video... that's one hell of a leg workout

Thanks. I was sweating just watching them. It had a little bit to do with the triple digit temps too....

I have noticed that. Thanks for the input to all
