    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    I might be out of date, but I didn't think this was the Olympic policy. I thought it based on hormone levels for a few years, did it change?

    Using resistance bands as part of warm up routine?

    Thanks, the examples above were what I was looking for. I was finding more workouts originally not warm ups. Used the one that Ken linked above yesterday and she liked it. It was much more useful than the wrist flips ect.. that the rest of the team has been doing that she was trying to follow...

    Using resistance bands as part of warm up routine?

    Thanks, I found and downloaded free Dynamic Warm Up from HLT but missed a few of the links included it looks like. No bands are used from what I can see so far which is surprising since they include one with their weighted ball set. Mostly legs and similar to what she does. I looked up Jaeger...

    Using resistance bands as part of warm up routine?

    I see baseball players/pitchers use bands often as part of their warm up, but haven't seen many softball players do the same. Could be just where we live and wanted to see if what warm up routine others use and if they use bands as part of it. My daughter seems to take a long time to warm up and...

    D3 pitching speed

    Checked their stats from last year and she pitched 260 out of 280 innings for the team. Pitched 16 innings in a DH with one going into extras. You weren't joking about running her into the ground. Maybe she'd throw harder if they'd give her a day off once in a while.

    Spin rate and Velocity

    I haven't read the article yet but will, I always thought that the ball breaks the same amount over the same time periods but as the pitch slows down as it gets closer to the plate, during the same time interval the ball travels less distance but breaks the same amount giving the appearance of...

    Spin rate and Velocity

    I've been wondering about this lately also, my DD picked up a few mph recently but also lost her drop about the same time. We think the increase was due to a small mechanical change. I noticed that her spin orientation wasn't as consistent after, but even when it appeared to be correct it didn't...

    This pitching motion legal?

    Every pitch came from the same arm angle.

    This pitching motion legal?

    She didn't throw very hard but was having success. Several were pulling off the ball and hitting off the end of the bat with some missing altogether. As you'd expect, none of them have probably batted against a side arm pitcher before.

    Did you watch the video or just see the screen capture? The difference between them is huge when watching the videos. Also, I think you need to look at the release, not the point leading up to it. I think this is from the same video that your pic came from.

    This pitching motion legal?

    I haven't seen anything like it since 10u when pitchers are still trying to figure it out. Couldn't believe someone made it to 18u pitching that way without someone saying something. Was pretty much 100% sure it was illegal, and I think the opposing teams coaches brought it up but didn't push...

    This pitching motion legal?

    https://1drv.ms/v/s!AjeNQl9VEybaptZ8EmGGTZcVH95lnQ?e=bFRpbp Saw this over the weekend and was surprised to be told that the umps said it was fine. This was in USSSA and an 18u team. I really didn't care but was surprised it was said to be ok and looks like an injury waiting to happen to me.
