Is this a bad idea? Starting motion
My daughter is a new pitcher...about 8 months. I focused more on "loading and exploding" and less on pre-motion. In the last couple of months, her accuracy has improved tremendously. I started to incorporate a slight rock back. With this, she has the tendency to crow hop. My question is would...- Fitz1210

What would you start with first?
Hi! I’ve been casually working with my almost 8 year old daughter introducing her to pitching. We haven’t done a lot of drills. I would like to zero in on some of her mechanical issues. She is young so I would like to keep it fun, but what would you start working on first? Crow hop, stride...- Fitz1210

Leap Drap
Can anyone point me to some good side video showing how a pitcher's toe is dragging off the pitching plate before the pitcher plants her stride foot? My 10 year old has a good leap, but her push off foot lags behind. She is still touching the pitching plate when she plants her stride foot. Hope...- Fitz1210

Mound time
I have a 10 year old and she has finally grasped the concept of I/R. She looks good all through her warm-ups until she gets to walk throughs. At this point, she does H/E sometimes and looks very stiff....this is not every pitch. With the season growing near, I am concerned with her being...- Fitz1210

Long toss
Is it good to do long toss with a beginning pitcher who is still working on her mechanics? Would doing long toss cause a set back?- Fitz1210

Bungee cord for pitching
Any of you purchased a bungee cord and belt to work on leg drive? I've been looking online and they are quite pricey. Anything I can get at Walmart etc.? What did you use? Thanks.- Fitz1210

Should she be strength training?
Should I have my 11 year old doing some exercises to improve muscle strength in her legs and trunk etc. Nothing serious obviously...I didn't know if that is something you do when she has her mechanics down. She is a beginner. Thanks!- Fitz1210

How to explain I/R release/hand position to 11year old?
I have read the I/R threads and understand the concept of I/R. However, I am having a hard to explaining how the ball comes out of your hand to an 11 year old. The follow through i can explain, but how the ball comes off the fingers and what position the hand is at release is a little harder. It...- Fitz1210
