DD frozen at plate?????
Sounds like practice might be too easy for her. Challenge her more in practice ie; faster, closer, hit the corners better. Try to expose her weaknesses in practice.- 42'sdad

10YO DD Batting Practice
Me and My DD loved this thread, I'm glad you revived it. There has been some real good discussion in here. My DD loves it because she likes to see the videos of other girls her age and the advice given to improve. We also sift thru it and take it to the cages to see what works or "clicks"...- 42'sdad

She doesn't have a hitting coach
1st year 10u means 8 and 9 year olds. When we have tryouts for this age team it's a bonus if they even know which end of the bat to hold!- 42'sdad

She doesn't have a hitting coach
1st year 10u. If you have a lot of girls that aren't working outside practice, then IMO the most important thing you can do for them in the time you have is work on their attitudes when going in the box, their mental approach to hitting. I would want to see a whole team of girls going in the...- 42'sdad

Asa
For any ASA tournaments you never know what they will check. It's best to be prepaird for anything. I aways have every player on my teams ASA cards and birth cirtificates, plus a picture that gets taken the first time they try out for us, and a sighned release. I also require every coach to...- 42'sdad

What's the deal with TB coaches?
Your last statement is pretty bold and blanketed. I also have never been thrown out of a game, or even ever, been given a warning. It is common for me and my coaching staff to get compliments on our sportsmanship. It's even more common for my players to get compliments on their sportsmanship...- 42'sdad

The worst part about it is, I think the 3 hearts on the front represented 3 softball players that got killed in the tornado's they had last year. Not positive on that though.- 42'sdad

What is this country coming to? Furious!!!
:mad: I'm the coach of an A level TB team. This summer we were 10u and have moved to 12u this fall for the 2014 season. Just establishing age for everyone. Anyway, this year at USSSA World Series in Branson we exchanged gift bags with a team from Oklahoma. They were awesome bags too. Had...- 42'sdad

Umpires: Call a STRIKE ZONE
My pet peeve is, a called ball at 0-0 should still be a ball at 3-0. The expanded zone on 3-0 drives me nuts!!- 42'sdad
