I read an article where the US team timed leadoffs and over 1/2 of the team was slower using the rocker stance. The article said only the speedsters got better leads. Also read about a talk where Alabama Coach Murphy talked about preferring track star stance. Track star is much simpler and you...
I have never been a baseball guy and I feel like that is advantage sometimes. I agree not a wrong or right but my opinion is Pitcher should stay and besometimes. At the Younger ages especially it is much less movement and easier. A shallow hit ball where OF fires home there is not time to get in...
Have a great group of kids and parents where most have been together for quite some time. We have been very successful in 8s and now 10s. When this happens other competitive teams notice and start inviting our players to play on off weekends. I want the girls to play as much as they want, but...
yes I have drafted an email to go to a couple different directors of orgs. i also told parents tonight that I was doing it. This was very hard for me but I feel like I am doing the right thing.
Met with parents tonight and after almost 1 hour the dad finally said he was wrong...I requested they address the team parents and let them know a mistake was made and that it would not happen again. I also said they she would only use team bats. Some of which she had already used this season...
Dont have any hard evidence, other than he admitted it. Don't know what bat, what game or even how much. My report will be generic in nature to hopefully bring awareness to the directors.
Understand and yes I think this kid would be a good hitter with or without a shaved bat.
Don't know...
the distance the bat gets is not relative is it? It is cheating and not allowed. the parent and I could be banned for life, the kid banned until 18 if caught in USSSA.
The other coach is friend that we play against in league and he was just told by his parent about it. I assume the dad...
both dads involved play competitive slowpitch softball. several of my kids can hit balls to the outfield that roll to the fence to give you an idea of how hard 8 year olds are hitting these days.
All good stuff guys!! I actually found out from a friend that coaches a competitors team. Another dad, friends with my dad, told my friend he had one for his daughter that he got from my dad. My friend approached me to see what I thought about it, because it was bothering him. I told him...
I just posted a new thread on this same topic. 8u/10u coach and I did not know because how am I suppose to know unless told. Parent admitted it but only when I approached them about it. question is what to do now with parent and/or reporting the violation?
I recently discovered that a player on my 10u team was using a shaved bat. I went straight to the parent and they confirmed that my information was true, but said they were not doing it any more. Not a sorry and actually said it was not a big deal. In researching this, it is not only a safety...
Working with my 1st year 10u team on bunt coverage and have read different articles about who should be in charge of a calling the player getting the bunt. I have a very good and agressive 3B and want her getting anything she can but seems like catcher has the best view?
