You provide an immense amount of information that this coach / daddy can put to use immediately both with my daughter and myself. There is no denying that the recent fastpitch craze began with the super teams on the West Coast and the US Olympic teams. Its arrival here in the East in the last few years has spurred us to do all that we can to catch up, and now we even have a few legitimate East Coast superstars. We also have an excess of parents who want their daughters to be the next Monica Abbott, which brings me to the reason for this post. I am excited to see that you and the sites that you link to all suggest that young pitchers start with simple mechanics and that you don't even have pitch training aids until the age of 10. Too many young Baseball arms have already been ruined and it is refreshing to see a pro come out and say "hey guys there will be time, slow down and enjoy the game, learn to throw strikes first."
