    Bill’s answer:

    Erin,

    Coach Sledge asked:

    What should the rightfielder do when the ball is hit to third base?

    Bill’s answer:

    Don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but anticipate a bad throw. I would work with all the kids on looking at opportunities to help out when things go wrong instead of being the spectator.

    The challenge with outfielders is that there is a lot of r... Continue reading »

    Michelle Dougherty asked:

    how much is too much pitching

    Bill’s answer:

    It mostly depends on how efficient your mechanics are, if you properly condition for the activity, and if you get enough rest for recovery for the workload.

    I agree with Lisa, you need to manage the workload. Track it very carefully and chart it. Li... Continue reading »

    Jackie Fancett asked:

    How do I get my throw stonger and faster but still acurate?

    Bill’s answer:

    Jackie,

    You need to build a good solid base of strength in your core area, your back, and especially your shoulders. And I'm not talking about getting into the weight room and pumping a bunch of iron. Simple body weight exercises that will help.

    Desmond Morgan asked:

    I am a LL pitcher. How do I strenghten my pitching arm?

    Bill’s answer:

    Desmond.

    You should work on your shoulder strength and core strength first. I would start by using your own body weight. Don't get into weights. If you are looking for a good head-start, check out our 12-Minute Shoulder and Elbow Endurance Solution ... Continue reading »

    Bill’s answer:

    Zabrina,

    How about a Google search? Contact some local high school coaches to get some names.

    Coach Trina asked:

    When do most coaches start tryouts for Fall?

    Bill’s answer:

    End of summer. A lot ask players from existing teams to join. Do you have a particular team or league you are interested in? I would contact the coaches now to find out more about the process in your area.
