    Things you never hear softball people say ...

    My daughter was late to pre-game warm-up. She should sit the bench 1st.

    When Talent Doesn't Work Hard...

    I get frustrated with my youngest for this very reason. She has more natural talent than my oldest. The difference is that my oldest works VERY hard and wants to get better. My youngest wants to just skate by, but then whines because she doesn't play her preferred position. I keep telling...

    Rec Parents!!! Need I say more???

    We are one week away from the end of our season, and she still hasn't improved. She is constantly 20-30 mins late for pre-game warmups. She has missed more practices than the rest of the team combined. Grant it, some were due to a death in the family, but others were not. I try to tell her...

    Rec Parents!!! Need I say more???

    How do you deal with parents that think their child should be playing a certain position? Position: Catcher. Currently, I have the better catcher (Catcher 1) behind the plate. Catcher 2 is slow and can't keep the ball in front of her. Last tourney, we asked Catcher 2 to get her gear on and...

    U10 Team playing U12

    In our league, if a player/team is playing in "select" tournaments, they have no choice but to play up an age division in league play.

    10U Rec Parents...

    Unfortunately, since it is rec, I couldn't do that. As for packing her stuff??? Her mom did that and took it out of the dugout before the game was even over. If she would have come up to bat again, we would have had to let her use someone else's stuff. After the game, the kid let all of us...

    10U Rec Parents...

    I probably did, but I just couldn't let it continue. It just wasn't fair to the 2 girls that are always there...

    Those are my favorites, too! So, they get preferential treatment!

    10U Rec Parents...

    I had all of the other parents, and league board members behind me. Unfortunately, the mother texted, apologized and asked if I would let her play. Of course, I said yes. I did however explain to the mother that I do move girls around, and they earn their positions in practice. As for player...

    10U Rec Parents...

    Eric F - I explained my strategy on the batting order to the girls before the game, and I reiterated it in front of the parents after the game. She just texted me and said she is contacting the head of our league and pulling her daughter.

    10U Rec Parents...

    I guess I was just needing confirmation that I did the right thing.

    10U Rec Parents...

    Jojo - Thank you! I have the support of the other 7 sets of parents. I just have these 2 that seem to think I play favorites. I don't know how, when their daughters are always on the infield, even when they don't make practice. Last night, I just looked at a couple of my girls warming up...

    10U Rec Parents...

    My 10U team had a game last night. Players x & y showed up 35 mins late to pregame warm up and miss more practice than the other 8 combined. They usually start infield. I had 2 girls that have practiced their positions. So, I let them start. We have 10, so no one was benched. I also tried...
