Outfield drills
Does anybody have some good outfield drills? I coach a 10u team and we have a pitching machine we use to throw fly balls. The girls do pretty good tracking and catching fly balls. Balls in the gaps or line drives that drop before we get to them absolutely eat us alive. We take poor angles and we...- Brptl.2012

Bats
Anybody have thoughts or actual use with the Demarini Spryte? I‘ve got a few parents asking about new bats. 2 of my girls have the old CF8 and one has the CFX. They are wanting something similar to those. This is for an 8u girl that would probably keep the bat through 10u at least for 1 year...- Brptl.2012

Travel Ball is Killing Rec Ball
I haven’t read the entire thread so somebody or multiple people may have already said the same things. I was anti travel ball and now coach an 8u team. My background so everyone knows where I’m coming from is I’m a step parent and I coached both of my step kids (the boys). They have to go to...- Brptl.2012

Thoughts and Ideas
I’m looking for ideas and wanting to have a discussion on teaching hitting. What are the things you all use to get through to your kids? I’m not to proud to admit that I don’t know it all. I’ll say that my understanding of proper hitting mechanics are amateur at best. I’m like most coaches/dads...- Brptl.2012

8u players
The plan is to keep her here until she ages up to 10u. I lost most of my team to 10u this year. I’ve got 4 girls that I’ll have for the next 2 years. I’m not too worried if I end up with a roster full of 2012’s. If we had to take some L’s early we can work through that. I’d actually love to have...- Brptl.2012

8u players
Travel team, my daughter was only 6 so I have another 2 years. I have 3 returning girls. I’ve got 7 girls right now and I plan on having 11 total. It’s very hit and miss on getting girls to come tryout. It’s been a little better this year now but not great.- Brptl.2012

8u players
Do any other 8u coaches struggle evaluating potential? Does anybody have any tips? Last year was our first year and we ended up being very successful. It was rough at first but we ended being one of the better teams in our area. I look at where we ended up vs what we have coming in and there is...- Brptl.2012

To TB or not?
I coach an 8u travel team, my DD plays and she’s only 6. We play every other weekend and practice twice a week. We have had a few weeks when we did not have games that we took BP as an extra practice that week. None of my girls are remotely burnt out at this point. We have canceled 2 tournaments...- Brptl.2012
