    Injured again!

    So my DD had been hurt last year with a rhomboid area injury, well she has it again. She got a mri and it was a serratus anterior strain, after resting it for nearly 2 months it’s not fully better. Does anyone have experience with kids and this injury? What in mechanics can cause it?

    Rhomboid pain

    My DD has been experiencing pain in her rhomboid, she just finished up 6 months of pt, as well as 3 months of No pitching which helped but it’s not completely gone. Has anyone else’s DD experienced this, what helped it makes me think she is doing something mechanically that is causing it.

    Travel ball high school balance

    This year has been a busy one for my dd, between high school ball and travel. Once hs was over she got maybe a 2 week break and then the summer travel season started, once that summer season wrapped up, there was no break between it and fall, her team played 6 or 7 fall tournaments. Now she’s...

    Cutting players because of injury?

    My DD has struggled this summer with shoulder impingement, which is a painful condition due to muscle imbalance in the rotator cuff. Well her coach said something that irritated me, basically he said we’re lucky he’s not like real travel ball coaches because they would cut a player for being...

    Fielded choice?

    Scoring question, this has happened to my DD twice this year, she’s hit a ball to the out field, out fielder fails to make the catch (not scored an error) and the runners at first who have tagged up gets thrown out at second. Our score keeper scores it as a fielders choice instead of a hit...

    Pitch speed progression

    Does anyone know the pitch speed progression, that you use to determine where speed faults are? For example walk through should be 105% of mound speed. K’s or motion k’s should be x%?

    Reading the ball off the bat

    My DD is a 3rd baseman and she does a great job except with hard hit balls. It takes her a bit to realize the ball is coming toward her so she has a slight delay which in hard hit balls cost her. Are there any drills I can do with her to teach her or help her with reading the ball off the bat...

    Experiences with speed cords

    Does anyone have experience with speed cords? I am trying to honk of ways to get my dd to explode off the mound faster to help increase her speed as well as pitching speed. I was thinking of using these while she is pitching to give her some resistance while driving off the mound.

    Question for the high school parents

The second is/was he changes times at the last minute, the first time he did this was...
