Softball Signups!

It's about 10 degrees outside and I just realized that it's time to sign my daughter up for spring softball again. I'm definitely coaching again as softball is my favorite sport to coach.

I'm already developing some basic practice plans and have some ideas on how to really super-charge things this season. I'm planning on buying a popup net and a good tee for portable (and frequent) soft toss and hitting off a tee. I really want to focus this season on (fundamentals of course!) teaching the girls how to rip the cover off the ball.

It's hard to imagine it ever being warm enough to play softball outside though!

I heard that many of the better players are moving on to travel softball this season which is fine by me, I'm still more interested in helping girls find themselves and building basic skills and an understanding of the game. There's nothing quite like teaching young girls about force plays at second and seeing them finally get it halfway through the season.
