Wendy,
The only way that you can keep your foot on the rubber while releasing the ball is to purposely not generate any momentum. Your daughter should, however, make sure she is dragging her foot instead of picking it up off the ground, if she is even doing that. Pushing off the mound with her drag foot is how pitchers generate momentum and create speed. If they don’t, their mechanics can be sacrificed.

Hi Wendy. Please do not listen to the person that told your daughter that. I am 22 years old and have been pitching since I was 8. If you follow the proper mechanics of a pitch I’m not sure releasing the ball while still on the rubber is even possible.

My 9 year old daughter has been told she needs to release the ball while her back foot is still on the rubber, but I have yet to see anyone actually do that. Any advice out there? Thank you in advance!
