Dd is a first year 12u, when is it typical for coaches to stop giving signals to C/P, and have the catcher call the pitches? DD did one tournament were in July where she was guesting on a then first year 10u team (as a second year 10u) because they were down several players, and she ended up calling every game she caught, and she did a pretty good job I thought and really liked it. came about mostly because the HC had not really been giving signals, regular pitchers on that team did not have the command and pitches that DD and the guest Ps playing on this team did.
