Girls Softball clinic

Girl's softball is an entirely different animal than traditional guys baseball. The rules differ and the players require a different coaching style. Coach Jim is running the beginning pitcher class and after watching him instruct for a 1/2 hour I was curious about his thoughts on the differences with the boys. He had a very well thought out answer.

1. Boys think they know everything
2. Girls listen better
3. The dads are more receptive to girls fast pitch. The reason is that most of them played baseball and right or wrong have strong opinions about how it should be played. With softball, it is such a different game (pitching in particular) that they are active listeners without the benefit of direct experience.
