Re: Championchip Defence Tips

It was great to see you at North Bay - we were sitting right behind you when you won rookie all star and we were super pumped for you!

Some tips:
  • I could be wrong, but I seem to remember that you were underweight - typically you want to be 119.9 pounds when playing defense, so that it's harder for an offensive team to push you around. If you are indeed underweight, add weight evenly distributed along the outside edges as low as you can.
  • Learn where the opponents like to shoot from and don't let them get there. This is a huge one - some scouting goes a long way.
  • Make sure you take some of your practice time at worlds to get good at getting on the batter quickly and without great sight lines - this will be a huge necessity for good alliances at worlds.
