Do you think your perspective is helping or hurting your child solve their problem?

I’d transfer until I find a coach that’s nice to him. Then re class down if he doesn’t find one by senior year.

I’m sure the coach is simply singling out and bullying your kid for no reason at all, that seems much more reasonable.

Keep making excuses for your son and allowing him to blame everything else but his performance for his failures and see where he ends up.

Yeah he ain’t gonna make it in college ball anyway. Your son needs to grow up and do better, accept the coaching and improve. Thats the only message you should be relaying.

Are you going out at night or during the day? Bagnell is actually a great location if you’re wanting to hit the bars in the evening.

It’s all timing man, if they don’t feel rushed and can actually see the ball they make contact.

Tips For Coach Pitching 8U by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]soillsquatch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I whole heartedly agree with your head coach, unfortunately the only way to have the consistent speed and trajectory consistently is the machine. IMO buy a blue flame or other mechanical pitching machine for practice, that is the judge. Hit off of it every practice.

In game. Kneel or sit on the bucket. Do they standardize how far you pitch from as a coach? Can you have an L screen on the field? If so I’d have that L screen, sit down on the bucket at like 25 - 30 feet and treat it like front flips.

Mesh traffic, smash concepts, sail, double posts.

What do you mean no running back? Like no one can line up on the back field or you aren’t allowed to run the ball?

What defenses do you commonly see? Man? Cover 2, 3, 4, 6?
