It's all semantics. @Cannonball you're spot on with what the definition of 'NO DAYS OFF' is. Who gets to pick that?
Everyone is going to have a different optimal dose of work needed to perform.
I wonder how many people I can trigger by replying just to the subject line and not the details in the OP. :devilish:
Just because it's an "off day" doesn't mean you're idle. Now, do you want to argue that mobility work is softball work for example? I'm not interested in the debate, but I...
Whitaker certainly has an abrupt ending to her swing. Reminds me of Glenallen Hill.
I'm not sure if she suffered an injury, but looking at stats, they really fell off in year 2.
The risk of decelerating your bat too soon seems too great for my liking.
Do you count buying/implementing the High Level Throwing materials as going to lessons?
Either way we have taken it upon ourselves and don't rely on the team doing wrist flicks for instruction.
I know it's baseball but I was a fan of some of the simplicity of what is discussed in the video.
Watching the hitting zone, not the pitch.
Attacking the ball.
Pointing the shoulder and letting the ball rip on the throw.
You're in pretty tight so I haven't seen a ton of lateral movement at...
I started here as far as learning defensive strategy for softball: https://media.hometeamsonline.com/photos/softball/rpgsa/playbook_of_defensive_situations.pdf
You or your coaches can decide how to modify it for 10U as some things just don't come up as much yet, or your team's ability. People...

Although, when I talk to my DD, there are no wild pitches. Only passed balls. But that's a mindset, not an official scoring designation. The scorebook might care. But the scoreboard does not. Stop the ball. Stop the runners.
If we're gonna go down the rabbit hole on this rule, I'd much rather argue over the word "dropped" than having it or not having it. You get someone to swing at something that bounces in the dirt but is picked cleanly isn't dropped. It just wasn't caught by definition and the rule still...
Are you in proximity to a specialty store where you can try on a variety of helmets? If not, Amazon's return policy becomes your friend from what I gather in talking with other parents.
Force3 I believe is still the pinnacle of safety. But common complaints are that it is heavy and ugly...
I'm not going to put a bottom of the barrel C team in a A level tournament. Yes it matters. We're going to pick the most appropriate level for us.
I'm not deterred by losing at 10/12U. I'm not going to withhold a variety of competition formats because we're not great. We're going to play...
Well then to each their own cause I'm not talking school ball. Nothing was implied about age in the OP. But if you're going to keep challenging why I do it, I'm going to keep telling you. But I hope to inspire others to not give up, more than having any notion of changing your mind. Seems a...
That was your opening remark. That is not encouraging at all. That's telling people to throw in the towel on even having a team, let alone a tournament.
Why didn't you take your own advice? Instead, sounds like you bet on the kids, and put in work to help make it happen. Basically what I am...
I thought I was being clever by having her call me by my first name like the rest of the girls.
What a weird distraction that turned out to be. The other girls were flabbergasted at the thought of calling their parent by their first name. So they didn't necessarily perceive me as just coach...
