Thanks for the advice. I'm the rec ball coach so what I've been teaching is what I've learned from clinics and others who are more experienced than myself. I wanted to learn more from the more experienced travel coaches, but it seems like that may be difficult, at least on this topic.
I did make a mention last night at travel practice about positional practicing and if they want DD to catch during the game you have to give her reps in practice and not yell at her during the game for doing something that she was never taught. I have taught her to throw everytime someone steals, but apparently the travel coach does not want the catchers to do that for some reason, although the video from the games show the other catchers throwing on bobbles. I've told DD to follow whatever the coaches tell her. But she already sees that there are favorites on the team, and she's not one of them. It will be a learning experience for her in all aspects, and we'll widen our search for travel teams next year.
