[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a so-so pitcher, I would personally not go down this road. It’s expensive and time-consuming. We’d be much better off just letting her be a regularly fielder, but we had no idea when she first started pitching. [/quote]

Have you [i]seen[/i] the desperate pleas for pitchers at the older age groups?[/quote]

Maybe so, but I feel like our family’s time and money would be better spent places other than private pitching lessons and pitching practice. But we keep doing it to support her. Ones just offering OP a different perspective. If I had it to do again I would have focused on just great hitting and fielding lessons. [/quote]

How often did you do lessons and for how many years?  Did you see improvement? It’s a good point that it’s a lot of time and money…but since pitching is key, I’m wondering why money would be better spent on fielding or hitting. [/quote]

My 14 year-old daughter has been pitching for 5 years. She did a few lessons at 9 and was doing weekly lessons by 10. Now at 13, she does lessons about once a month as more of a tune-up. She pitches 6 days a week year round though but for a couple of vacations per year during which she will pitch maybe twice in the week.[/quote]
