    Big hops???

    The one thing you have to remember if you are going to teach how to handle high hops is to not make it a habit that they expect first. They still need to work low and adjust up. IF you work too much on the high hops, some girls tend to start to start high and work down.

    Paying for tournament play

    Put together a letter asking for sponsorship and ask each girl to take it to 1 or 2 business that they think may sponsor the team. I believe most fast food restaurants are more then willing to do this to promote that they are supporting youth activities in the community. Or if they have friend's...

    Player ejection from scrimmage

    I am agreeing with James. If like you had said there had been previous shoves throughout the game, the umpire may of used that player as an example to gain back control of the game. May not always be the most fair call, but sometimes they need to do something like that. Hard to tell the tone of...

    School me on D3 softball

    If you like the ideas of D3 schools, do not rule out NAIA schools. 1) NAIA schools are able to give out both academic and athletic scholarships 2) They are as competitive, if not more competitive then many D3 schools and some D2 schools. They even take on a few D1 schools and win time to time...

    Which team to play for?

    It depends on the experience your daughter wants to have. Sometimes a smaller school where she has the opportunity to start as a freshman and play all four years can be a lot more of a fun experience then going somewhere large and not getting a chance to see the field until her sophomore year...

    Asking a college coach to look at you too soon???

    I have gotten the opportunity to attend a few recruiting events as a coach in the past year. Depending on the size of the school, most coaches won't begin to look at girls until they are at least grade 10, unless they are a very competitive NCAA Div.1 school. We get a few videos a year of girls...

    Hip/Arm Problems

    Yeah. I have been stressing that a lot. Using cues like 'snap/release, hips'. I can give you some examples of what I look for when it comes to mechanics? I focus on them using the power line, driving straight out to catcher, having the body 'sideways' to catcher and then closing up. I work on...

    Hip/Arm Problems

    I am teaching an 11-year old to pitch for first time. She has good speed and the basic mechanics down, but she is having a lot of trouble keeping a relaxed arm and getting her hips in the way. She ends up having a crooked arm to go around her hips and the ball shoots off to the side. I have...
