Strike Zone...
I will give a wide outside... and a little high.. inside I dont stress on inside due to potential of these girls to hit their hands.. so i'm dead on the plate on inside... a little low on the middle.. its a strike.. if in doubt on low outside, where it seems hardest to see.. i will call a strike instead of the norm on unsure a ball.
Thoughts?

Wade-in, I deleted a bunch of your post (above)...
Your zone sounds fine. Whatever you are going to do, do it, and do it consistently throughout the game. BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO DISCUSS IT during the pregame. Just do it.
If you discuss how you are going to call something, you are going to get caught somewhere, sometime. There are always the gray areas and your gray areas are different than the coach's. Even after you have explained yours during the pregame, his are still different. You are going to see a pitch and call it the way you saw it and the coach is going to come unglued because he saw it different and feels it is different from the way you explained you were going to call it.
If you explain how you are going to call something during the game, you are setting yourself up for pain. You've got the rules in your head; just enforce them. Don't give the coach any opportunity to preconceive anything; just call your game.
JMHO
