    Rec Leagues Practices&Games/Week?

    Hey DFP, I wanted to ask other members how often events (practices and games) are held for their rec softball leagues (8u or 10u)? For us, it's just one practice and one game (2 events) per week in season. Our league's all star teams are getting smoked by other leagues that do 3 events per...

    7yo swing

    DFP, I have a clip of my DD taking a swing of front toss, some things I noticed. 1) Foot gets down when ball is about halfway to the plate. Is this too late? Should it be down sooner (at pitch release)? 2) Hands gets disconnected on the load, back elbow drops before foot is down. Then hands...

    Playing Up 8U-10U

    My daughter (2016) is in her third season of 8U rec league this spring, playing up all of 2023. She's eligible to keep playing 8U through the end of 2025. She also played 8U rec all stars in 2023 and plan to do so again in 2024 and 2025. I wanted to hear others experiences with moving their...

    8u Rec - Throwing/Catching in game

    Hello DFP, I wanted to get opinions on how to coach kids in 8u rec. Given how new some girls are to the game, a lot of times if you ask them to throw to another defender in game 90% it'll be a wild throw. My question is, do you keep having them make this throw (thus leading to passed balls...

    Composite Bat Sound/Feel Change?

    Hey DFP, I recently got a good deal on a Louisville Slugger Nexus 28/16 for my daughter to use during one of those bat day sales. I broke the bat in a bit and I thought it was sounding and feeling pretty good. A 'pop' when hitting the sweet spot and little vibration, almost feeling like...

    Moving up bat sizes

    For youth playera, at what point do you move up to a different size? Should you upgrade when the bat is definitely becomes too small, or should you always try to have them use as heavy a bat as they can swing with good mechanics? Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

    Hello DFP, Our 8u rec fall practices have just started up, and as all 8u rec leagues go, we will inevitably get girls thst have never played before. Since our league is coach pitch, I've been tasked to work with the new girls on hitting. My goal is to get those girls to learn to be able to...

    WTB True to Weight Demarini CF 28/17

    Looking for as close to a 17oz Demarini CF as possible. The bat weight database seems to indicate that CF5 or CF6 are close here. Not sure what modern CFs weigh but the 28/17 prism I got clocks in at 19oz so I need something very close to 17 to use before my daughter can move to the 19oz Sent...

    Chloe 8u Hitting Help

    Hello DFP, My daughter Chloe just finished up her first season of summer all stars and wanted to get some more eyes on her swing. She has no problem with putting the ball into play on coach pitch but seems to often hit the ball off the end of her bat. It looks like she's not extending properly...

    Hello from ATL

    New softball dad here, have a 6yo that loves softball. The advice in this forum is such a great resource for someone that has no experience with baseball/softball. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk
