Throwing 13U

Posted by Coach on November 18, 2024, 8:59 am

I just recently came back into coaching softball after being gone for a few years. The organization I'm with is doing a throwing program that I am not familiar with. Looking for opinions on this program and maybe some opinions on how to update my way I teach throwing. The program they teach is the Austin Wasserman high level throwing(seems more baseball than softball). Any thoughts??? Thanks

Austin Wasserman is the gold standard in throwing. See if you can find one of his clinics around, even if they're 2 or 3 hours away. They're well worth going to.

Austin Wasserman offers a great program and works with female colleagues who will work with fastpitch teams if requested. But at times he can be a touch too technical (the phrase sagittal plane sprigs to mind).

Dan Blewett is another excellent choice.

Watch and learn as much as you can about his system. You'll be a better coach by doing so.

Apparently I taught this without knowing. I had many ask me if this is where my kid learned how to throw. Nope, she learned from me. I just pulled it out of my …well, air. Little one could throw bullets, many coaches and parents were like, wow that kid can throw. Anyways, I’d say his way is a great model to use.
