I’m not sure if you read my entire post as it was a bit lengthy, but I mention taking care of the body. I also mentioned this is my experience with my DD and what we did has worked so far.

If the goal of the family is to lessen the COST of college then academics is of the most importance. Even the worst softball players in the world can get an academic scholarship.
Things I would suggest.
1. Lift weights you do not I repeat DO...
"COACH" Must be above reproach, an example setter, a mentor, a father figure and an ambassador. TW should be suspended at least 1 game and so should Fagan for the shove back. Here's where i'm coming from.
1. It's offensive touching to almost Sexual Assault. Seems far fetched but if he...
OBP, SLG%, BAVG and my favorite "who gets the job done with runners on" Doesn't matter if it's a bunt, sac fly, double or whatever. these players should be credited.
I had an umpire in a game telling my runners not to slide coming home. In between innings I asked him to not do so as it could be a safety concern for a girl running full speed about to slide only to be told 5 feet from home not to slide. Thankfully no one was hurt THAT GAME. Very next game...
I just read a post for region 1 USSSA which is the MD/DE/DC area and they do not allow guest players/pick up players. Parents do have to approve the roster addition, but pending would not allow them to play. The best answer is verify through your regional/state director. Don't take anyone...
Mine is a 2019 that just moved from a local/regional showcase team to a National level 16U team. The process is crazy at times and if you read into everything you might go nuts lol. Best of luck to you. Love reading about all the stories and experiences.
Do they have a football team? If so use a home game weekend for a visit and you might get to see the game. Look at the softball camp dates, do they match up with football or basketball? My DD worked an unofficial and got a tour, 1 on 1 with the coaching staff and 3 tickets to the football...
Not even sure how to start this, but college players are going to try and be your DD's best friend during a visit. Why? Because if your DD feels comfortable she will share some dumb things she's done in her life and that will get back to the coach.
My DD went on an unofficial visit about 2...
Hopefully 2 scrimmage games tomorrow for school depending on the rain. Sunday we have practice with DD's new team. Can't wait to watch the team play this summer.
Tough decision but if this girl who is injured might be your starting CF I would say play with 14 until she's back. At the point you find out she won't be back make the team manager your new 15th player and make the injured girl your manager. Also take into consideration academics for players...
Core,
Thank you for the contributions you've made here. You've been a great source of information and I hope that continues. I will also not be purchasing a new bat from them anytime soon. DD has plenty of bats to use in varying sizes and I refuse to support douche bags like them. Next bat...
What I did with my DD when she was 12. I showed her proper form pushups, first from the knees then as she got stronger she did regular pushups. Squats, crunches, flutter kicks, calf raises (use the bottom step and hold on to the railing), wall sits, jump squats and burpees. Basically we only...
