Looking for a lesson or practice to join this week while out of town in Brevard Co Florida.
The Family and I used to live in Brevard co and will be visiting friends between playing at Scenic city this weekend and next weekend's showcase in Clearwater (we are based in Virginia). Anyone willing to allow a "guest practice" with them Tuesday the 8th or Wednesday the 9th? I thought it...- Filterbing

Interesting pitching instructional I havent seen before
Interesting pitching instructional I havent seen before. Looks very old, demo looks good but instruction gets a little HE. Either way like I said one I haven't seen before.- Filterbing

Another route is to look for coaches clinics and get the others to attend with you.- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
3rd, SS, CF, P1, and RF are all seniors. All played in the org at one point(not sure of current travel status). Current LF/backup 2B is a freshman and plays for chosen org. 1st is a junior and both C and 2nd are juniors that play for the same team under the chosen org. All else are sophomores...- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
In addition, someone said, maybe the coaches DD and the others of her starters play for the "batbusters" of the area. That is not the case DD plays for one of the most recognized orgs in the area. The org the coaches DD plays for is seen as mid tier by many. We already do all the things you...- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
I know this looks like she isn't good enough but I'm telling you there is something wrong here. Watch her play vs watching this team play is night and day. Our travel team doesn't play the locals here, we were in clearwater, scenic city, new Jersey, and will be in Denver this summer, she hits...- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
slight update, here is the current offensive state of the team after 2 scrimmages and 3 games (all stats from 5 games). My daughter is at the top with least amount of chances. Team last night could not get a ball out of the infield and RF bunted out on 3rd strike. Its F'n ridiculous at this...- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
The wrestle off was sometimes the most fun we had in practice. It was a great moment when so and so could finally beat the other guy at his weight class and it was a clear indicator of earning the start. Seems like a clear way to set a line up other than "coaches perception". I didn't grow up...- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
Current 2b is a slower runner (on D and O), and hasn't hit out of the infield in these now 2 scrimmage games. Today current 2b did make a good diving catch to her right (if she were faster it wouldn't need be a dive) but couldn't get up quick enough and threw the ball at first's feet when she...- Filterbing

High School playing time/positions, How to ask...from the kid's perspective.
DD is a sophomore and was the only freshman to make the team last year. She had very limited playing time her first year and was on the bench for the first 5 innings in this seasons 1st scrimmage. it Seems she has locked herself into being the back up 3rd base. During tryouts she didn't "get...- Filterbing

First year 14U -How to pick a team?
Both Pattar and strike2 make great points. 14U is a tricky age group. My DD and I had a wild experience for her 14U's. When moving up to 14 we left a 12U team that she wasn't getting much time on and joined a new team where she settled in as SS and P2. after the fall season we had a messy...- Filterbing

‘22 Watch List
I fell hard for FSU after last season from the gutsy play from the whole group and have been watching them every game I can. Really excited for both Sandercock and Watson. I will definitely be keeping up with Valerie Cagle. She grew up local to me and she has been out to help with my oldest...- Filterbing

Question for the high school parents
I agree here, not every player has the teaching skills or disposition to coach. I want to know philosophy of instruction and the team culture. Worse level of instruction to me is line the girls up at short, blast line drives with shouting get in front of it!- Filterbing

First year 16u premier
It's interesting because the team is labeled "premier" and when recruiting, they stated: "we will play a lot of showcase tournaments". So deciphering that has been puzzling. I want to temper any expectations before/if I ask the coach anything.- Filterbing

First year 16u premier
My approach has been to tell her that she needs to be an athlete and play where she is needed. I believe she has the skills to handle it she just needs to get used to the ball coming in a little hotter than they do at 2nd. It's my own anxiety that she's not being "showcased" at her best position.- Filterbing

First year 16u premier
So my oldest has been selected for her org's 16u premier team. I understand that the purpose of this premier /showcase team is exposure but DD has been 2nd base for years and is now being primarily used at 3rd. She is admittedly not as good at third as she is at second and I believe she is being...- Filterbing
