Indoor Tournament Winter DVD?

[default]

I know there is already a thread regarding what and what not to include on your DD's DVD sent out to college coaches, but here's my twist...

My DD attended the QDS North this month. Suddenly this week I have had college coaches emailing her and asking for a DVD. Since she is a sophmore now, last summer ('08) we did not put together a DVD for the QDS. So! With 10" of snow outside, our only option is to put one together from her indoor workouts. She also pitches, which shouldn't be much of a problem for getting the views. Any suggestions and/or ideas on what to include and how best to achieve it within the constraints of a school gym for the fielding and batting aspects...?

Thank you in advance...

If she is a pitcher, you should be able to get her pitching and the correct angles to show movement and technique. You can also show her hitting off a tee. Coaches are interested in her technique and form. I would also set up a home to first with correct distance and show her speed. Remember, coaches can time her from the recording. Home to home times are also good, but be careful on bases slipping indoors. I would also have her field her postion from pitcher (grounders and bunts) and make throws to a first baseman. Doing an indoor DVD for a pitcher and infielder is much easier than doing one for an outfielder. Coaches want to see technique in pitching, fielding, and her speed. I would think you could put together a very nice DVD indoors.

Most school gyms will allow you to use softies so set up the tee and measure the distance from the tee to the wall and predetermine where certain points are on the wall to point out the height and calculate the angles. Then add in as you edit the estimated distance the ball may have traveled. Front toss her also so they get a look at her timing and rhythm....if nothing else the coach may think you are creative and maybe your daughter is also!
