I've been a member of NFCA for 13 years. They just released excellent youth sports material to add to their high school and college materials. I highly recommend you get a membership during NFCADay week. @Ken Krause

I don’t know why I waited to buy this superb ebook. I‘ve told people for over ten years the best money I ever spent on softball was buying the their catching clinic DVD. This is a steal at $199.
My daughter worked with Jay Weaver 3 times. The first time was just before she turned nine at...
Runner on 1st and 2nd. Home team on offense. Local rule where after 2 walks in an inning, it’s coach pitch. Ball 4 on batter after 2 walks already occured. Observant catcher fires ball down to 3B who tags the runner jogging from second. My teenaged partner looks confused, starts to call...

Fun from 10u fall ball rec game with several players on both teams moving up from 8u that I umpired today. In this league, in 10u, the coach comes in to pitch after three walks in an inning. The coach pitches the ball short of the plate. It bounces, and the batter swings and hits the ball. I...
I've been trying to get Austin Wasserman out to Northern California for over 5 years and things have finally aligned to pull it off.
Austin is going to be in Mountain View, CA August 26th and August 27th. My DD worked with him once 9 years ago and I've highly recommended him ever since. I...
I'm not going to question the umpire unless I see the play. Especially in 8u and 10u pitches occasionally come with a high arc resembling a slow pitch trajectory. I don't like calling them strikes, but occasionally they catch enough of the back half of the strike zone you have to call them...
Morgan Stuart's material has been on my list of things to check out for about 4 years. She has started a "Defense Club" online resource that the first month is $1, after that it is $20 a month. I'm going to definitely check it out.

10u rec league game. Inside pitch, hits player on hands, not over plate. Replay in my mind to make sure it hit the hands, not the bat.
me: “Dead Ball! Take your base!”
parent behind me “Aren’t the hands part of the bat?”
me to my partner in between innings, “Funny, none of the bats I’ve...

Highly recommend Austin's clinic. After my DD finished her 2nd year 8u All-Star season I visited my sister in New England and took my DD to be checked out by Austin because several coaches were worried that since she didn't throw like USA softball was...
Jay Weaver is being brought to Northern California by the East Bay Cyclones baseball organization Oct 8-9th. My DD has worked with Jay Weaver 3 times, and it definitely helped her game. It taught her to try to think two steps ahead of what to do when the ball was put in play. I highly...

@STRIKE3 @Megobee As many of the old timers known, Megobee's daughter tragically died a few days after her graduation from HS in 2018 during surgery to fix an issue that would have allowed her to play and pitch in college. Megobee started a memorial tournament for her that summer. I've tried...
For the last 11 years I have been telling people the best investment they can make in the success of their baseball or softball playing child is to spend $39 to somehow get access to the NECC DVD/Videos...
