    Front toss - keeping weight back drills

    Working with my 11y/o on keeping her weight back and stop lunging. She's getting it on tee work and soft toss but any good drills or ideas for front toss? Couldn't find anything online. Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Pitching practice - drills or full pitching? (12u)

    My 11y/o takes an hour lesson once a week and we do our best to go to the field and pitch twice a week on our own. Our sessions are usually a warm up and then full pitching (locations, fastballs, changeups, a simulated inning or two) and end with some long toss. We don't do the type of...

    Games for a fun pitching practice?

    Anybody have fun ideas for games that might make my 11y/o DD pitching sessions (me, dad as catcher) more fun. She does a lesson every week and then we go to the park twice a week on our own. After warmup we usually do some long toss, work on corners, and then pitch a couple of simulated...

    Front foot - up on toe?

    Another hopefully not so dumb question from a 10u dad. I noticed some of the better hitting players on her team have their front stride foot raised up on the toe(s) in their stance. Not something I was ever taught in little league decades ago. Obviously flat footed is the wrong answer but is...

    Hitting lesson the day before tournament

    Excuse the potential overthinking and silly parent question here but is doing a hitting lesson the evening before a one day tournament a bad idea? 10u player who when she connects can drive the ball in the gap but she is in a big time hitting funk. Late, lunging, all the bad habits. The only...

    Move up in length and weight...or just only one?

    10u, contact type hitter has been using a 29/17 lxt for a season plus. I'd like to get her away from the -12 but not sure if I should just look for a 29/18 or 30/19. I wish there was some place close to us to try bats but no such luck. Some good deals on used right now, maybe because of the...

    Lxt or CF - does it matter?

    My 10u daughter uses the x19 lxt -12 (29/17) as her first higher level bat and hits it well. But I think before the spring she probably should move up to a -11. I'm considering a used x19 lxt (29/18) or a 2020 CF Zen (29/18). Is there a noticeable difference assuming both are in good condition...

    Fun drills a small group can do on their own

    10u team. I normally have plenty of assistants but this week for practice I may be on my own. Any ideas for fun drills/games a small group can do on their own while I'm walking another small group through some tee or front toss work? Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    10u lineup thoughts

    I'm probably overthinking this (no definitely am overthinking it) but curious about thoughts on building a lineup for 10u rec. 12 players, no bunting. Likely will play a max of 4 innings so depending on how they hit, the girls at the top of the order probably will be the only ones with multiple...

    Incorporating pitching into 10u rec practice?

    Curious if anyone has thoughts or good ideas. How do I incorporate pitching into my practice plans? Taking over a 10u rec team (rec level play but travel around the county). League is kid pitch, but no walks so when it gets to 4 balls (routinely), the coach comes into pitch. Team is a mix of...

    Vendetta or LXT - preference?

    Looking at a couple used bats for my dd - vendetta and lxt x19, both 29 drop 12. Both close in price and in good shape. Curious what folks think of either one, will be her first use of a composite. Thanks and happy new year Sent from my SM-G991U using Tapatalk

    Buying used composite?

    Happy Holidays! I found a number of used, seemingly fairly priced, Demarini Bustos which all seem to be from 2014. Perfect size for my daughter but I've never purchased composite bats so I'm a little hesitant to go for one that is 7-8 years old and wonder about the durability. Any thoughts? I'm...

    Bat question - stay with the same weight and go up in length?

    My 10 y/o daughter has been using a relatively cheap Rawlings bat, 27/15. She hits it ok but I'd like to get her a better bat for the upcoming spring season. Should I stick with the same weight but go up to a 28 (so it would be a drop 13, which I've heard maybe should be stayed away from) or...
