    Looking for 18U Tournaments in February or March in Southern California

    Unfortunately there is no real high school ball here. We may look in January as well if there is nothing else.

    Looking for 18U Tournaments

    I have an 18U B Girls Fastpitch team from Vancouver Canada. Looking to bring them someplace warm to play in February or March for a tournament. We are not a top level A team but we did win our B level provincials. Do you have any suggestions on which one we should target? I did a few google...

    Canadian Team Looking for a Big Tournament.

    We are a 2005 born B team from Western Canada looking for a large tournament in the US Southwest for late February or early March 2022. Can someone recommend one that’s well run, fun to be a part of, and one that would give us a chance to have some success?

    "Bully" coach or are we over reacting.

    You might try to come at it from the angle that you care about this coach and want to help him be even more effective. We are all on a journey and everyone one of us needs help. I would suggest shooting a couple innings and then sendIng it to this coach with some kind words about his passion for...

    Psycho Parent qu'est-ce que?

    Wow that takes he cake. However there is behind the scenes damage to reputations that I've heard of that can be just as bad.

    Caught ball, force out?

    Bottom of the 7th inning of the semifinals. Down to our last out. We hit a ball to the SS who barely threw the batter out at first. After the out was called the first baseman (who made a snow cone catch) dropped the ball. The drop happened about 2 seconds after the catch while the first baseman...

    Timing and stuff

    I'm not as far along as I thought I was in my understanding so please help me out. Is the correct sequence... - Back, start coiling "Into" rear hip? Not sure what into hip fully means? - Forward to middle finishing the coil while the bat tips forward and arms pivot around hands which are being...

    Bad year

    I'm not quite on Sluggers line of thinking. 13 yo is not old enough to let her make all the decisions. Give a little more freedom each year until their 17 seems like solid parenting to me. We had a crapy year of rain this year as well and played half as much ball as normal. However for your...

    Screwed Up

    OK here is the video from this morning. I'm still in fix it mode so the middle one is the only one where her screw ball tries to come back. https://youtu.be/3N0nSFpONB4 https://youtu.be/gqwhlgM2ZKA https://youtu.be/k2ShGqQU0Lk She doesn't have great command on how far the screw will ride...

    Screwed Up

    So you think I should keep her throwing screw balls and fix it after?

    Model Fielding ...

    Almost all of the picture links are dead. Pics need to be kept on this site or this thread deleted.

    Screwed Up

    Emergency! The situation. I've just had two of my pitchers become unavailable when we host the Lower Mainland Cup next Weekend. We still have one good pitcher and my DD who was in development. Problem is DD picked up a bad habit of throwing screw balls every pitch and hits a lot of batters. I...

    1st base coach

    Do any of you have the first base coach stay by the runner confirming signs from the 3rd base coach? Why or why not? What do you have the 1st base coach do?

    Error or Fielders Choice

    Scratch all of that. After watching it again the ball took such a big bounce the first time that the SS would have had to make an amazing play to get her at first. It's not close enough to discuss the fielding of it. That's why the play at home was somewhat close.

    Scoring Question

    The throw was on the run. I went back to see if I had kept the video but sadly deleted the footage of that play.

    Error or Fielders Choice

    Runner on second is stealing 3rd. Ball is hit to SS. It skips up and deflects off her glove to the second baseman who throws out the runner that was on second trying to go home on the play. Result the runner was tagged out about 3/4 down the third base line which ended the inning. If fielded...

    Coming back from an injury.

    A player on my team had broken her wrist a while ago which required a cast. 2 weeks ago she had it removed and started strength training. At her first practice yesterday she said her wrist kept hurting from the catches. She wanted to sit and then kept complaining about the pain. After some time...
