interesting comments
i too, coach 10u and we spend all season trying to teach the kids the strike zone. then we get into tournaments and the the zone expands up about a foot.
for some of the umps anything under the bill of the cap is a strike. i know this helps move the game when the pitchers are 10u and it works for/against both sides but it drives crazy telling the girls that the umps calling them so they better swing.
sometimes i fear i'll offend the ump if he/she hears me telling the kids to swing at the high "strike".
i guess this does help the kids learn that every ump has his own strike zone to some extent.
