    Looking RHT First Base Glove

    Looking for a used in good condition RHT 1st base glove for my 13 YO DD. She just started playing there and don’t want to invest in anything new or expensive to try and get though this season and see how she does there. Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Poor behavior

    Saw coach/director of an org berate and embarrass a girl who was struggling hitting and yelled at her to get out of the cage and said in front or two teams and parents that he had three girls waiting to take her spot. Girl was crying hysterically in front of everyone. Then at tryout the...

    Jump Boxes

    DDs PC suggested she start doing box jumps to strengthen her legs / core. Any suggestions on brand or height to get started? (assuming DD will progress and use different heights at some point). DD is 12 and know you pay for quality but looking for something affordable as well. Thanks Sent...

    Spin

    I know this question may be obvious but…I’m watching a lot of the NCAA conference tournaments and commentators are referencing “spin” when discussing the pitchers and making it harder to hit. Quite honestly it’s hard for me to tell what pitches are being thrown unless the commentators mentions...

    Advice on pitching against a former team/teammates

    Update - turned out my DD did get a chance to pitch to her old team this weekend in a relief role in bracket play. Leading up to the weekend she wanted a chance to pitch against them but woke up Sunday with a little less confidence. All things considered (flu all week with no practice except...

    Advice on pitching against a former team/teammates

    Thank you. Sometimes she tends to overthink things but was really good this weekend and was a huge confidence builder for her and hope she builds on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Advice on pitching against a former team/teammates

    12U DD has a tournament this week and we are scheduled to play her old team. This would be the first time she’s facing them and will probably pitch against them. Just wanted to see if anyone had and advice to share with her. Naturally she’s a little anxious and nervous about pitching to old...

    Feedback to DD

    With everything said and done, DD got invited back to play for this team. Hopefully she’ll be put in a better position to succeed in the field and possibly even get a chance in the circle. Thanks everyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Reluctant to throw hard

    Had more walks than would’ve liked and hit one girl in the foot but didn’t affect her mentally and got back in the circle and went at the next batter. Her body language was great, regardless if she gave up a hit, BB, HBP or got an out. Was refreshing to see Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Reluctant to throw hard

    Hey all - just revisiting this and wanted to thank you all for the positive feedback from your experiences. DD pitched for the first time this year in a tournament and pitched very well and was throwing hard and was very happy with her results for her first couple outings. Need to continue to...

    Looking for some advice on HS ball because this dad is driving the struggle bus (Sorry another HS topic)

    This coach should’ve told each girl that who tried out how he handles P’s and said we have a #1 and you will get ZERO time in the circle regardless of situation. Then let the other P play JV to get time in the circle. If they call them up so be it and eliminates that nonsense that she can’t play...

    Looking for some advice on HS ball because this dad is driving the struggle bus (Sorry another HS topic)

    Don’t think the “what if” situation should be applied. What if they are winless? What if OPs daughter is better than the current pitcher. I’ve been telling my DD for years to work hard and put in the extra time and if you get positive results you’ll play and it’s paid off. I’m sure a lot of...

    Looking for some advice on HS ball because this dad is driving the struggle bus (Sorry another HS topic)

    I’m regards to the “rust” comment you referred to. I agree. Everyone says the most important thing for a pitcher is time in the circle, if that doesn’t happen, a pitcher will “rust” and as said unfair and incorrect. Also the statement to say she doesn’t belong or isn’t good enough. If the coach...
