    Should I say anything?

    I don't know -maybe our team works differently. The coach regularly asks the catcher if my kid is hitting her spots, what pitch is on most of the time he is not watching the pitching warmup. If she is then the catcher says so, if she isn't the catcher also says that. It is info that the coach...

    Utrip World Series, no score board?

    At Disney ESPN you get a scoreboard AND announcer. At all the satellite parks you get bupkis:/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How do you appropriately stress fitness?

    Team conditioning- everybody can use some conditioning, and if you do it as a team it will not be seen as optional by anyone Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Heat

    Start drinking water the night before and continue before, during and after the game. We alternate every couple of waters with a bit of Gatorade. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I got nothing, so I decided to post it here

    Tunnels stink! When DD was little it always seemed like the team making the tunnel was very gleeful(as in rubbing it in your face we won!) and the team that had to go through the tunnel had their head down and was being punished/borderline embarrassed about the loss. We only experienced this a...

    Player fees

    No refunds- I would prorate the fee to not include tournaments already played then divide by initial payment schedule. BUT- all payments that were already made by the rest of the team need to be caught up. So if the team has made 3 payments already that person owes 3 immediately. Sent from my...

    Are we asking too much at a young age?

    I have had experience with a coach who wanted to pitch my kid all the time so we would win. The very first tournament we played he pitched her 3.5 games one of them was a 10 inning game-on elimination day. Her previous coach wouldn't even think of allowing her an opportunity to pitch, so I think...

    Wild pitch vs passed ball

    I don't think that is true - sometimes that is where it is called. WP is when the pitcher doesn't hit her spot. If the coach calls change up and wants it low "in the dirt" catcher knows - and has to block however it may bounce. Just like if the coach calls inside to back them off the plate and...

    New model bats

    Wow condescend much? Ok thank you for pointing out my error - mr expert. I couldn't possibly have meant the CF series when I typed CF8 and then talked about them being released several years ago. I stand by my assertion- they usually release a new model if there is significant engineering...

    New model bats

    Mostly new color- every once in a while the will re-engineer to try to get rid of a flaw or tweak. Most of the time they are not changing a lot... And if they are changing the bat significantly they will come out with a new model and add it to their line I.e. Several years ago CF8 had only a...

    17yr. Old wants to return after having baby

    You have a moral and ethical obligation to allow her to return and try to get her life back together for her and her child. Who do you think is going to be responsible for that baby?? Don't you think getting some sort of money for school if that is poss would help out a single teen mother??? All...

    Travel team info gathering

    Best bet is to Contact coach who has a team that DD would be a good fit for, or figure out where travel teams post/advertise to find new players. For instance discuss fastpitch or pitch2fast in south Florida or some other forum that is similar in other areas. They usually post when tryouts are...
