    IHSA - Player paid Pitching lessons?

    Curious In Illinois - can an active player during the Illinois softball season get paid for pitching lessons that they give to other players?

    First college visit - DD nervous!!

    It went very well. She talked to the coach by herself for a while and met a few of the players. She got to ask the players questions about the program, college life and how to juggle softball with academics. This school has a very high graduation rate and ranks very high in team GPA. She...

    First college visit - DD nervous!!

    Very informal but I want her to be prepared if the coach wants her to ask questions. Thanks for your advice.

    First college visit - DD nervous!!

    My DD is a 2017 graduate and has her first unofficial visit tomorrow with a school 45 minutes from home. It is one of the schools on her list, but she still has a few schools on her list still. She asked the coach if she could come and visit and he has invited her to watch a scrimmage game and...

    Illegal Pitch actually called!!!

    Our 16u team played in the USSSA Nationals in Kansas City and I actually saw at least 5 IP's called during the tournament just in the games that we played in. I was in shock that they were called. Not because they weren't illegal but because someone had the gonads to actually do their job and...

    2016 Nationals - Locations

    I am trying to compile a list of where 18u Nationals will be held for 2016. I found the information for ASA but I am not able to locate NSA or USSSA info. Does anyone have information on either of them or a suggestion on another sanctioning body? We are located in Illinois and looking for a...

    Battery operated soft toss machines

    I bought one for my DD last year. It is sitting in the garage in the exact same place that I placed it. She prefers to hit from a tee. SMH

    Crazy High Batting Averages

    We have a local kid playing HS ball that is batting above .700. But when you look at the fact that she is playing in 1A ball, on fields that don't have an outfield fence and that the competition is horrible the batting average doesn't mean much. When she plays in 18u ASA she bats near .300...

    Are bats too hot? Ringor article

    There are some here that would argue that the bats made years ago are just as "hot" as the new bats made today. I personally think that the new bats are much better. Who doesn't stand up and cheer when their DD hits one over the fence, yet that is considered to be bad for the sport?

    Contemplating not playing HS next year

    I've been away from DFP for a few days, mostly because I was busy but I honestly thought that this thread would be long dead by now. Some of the comments to my OP are interesting and others I just have to shake my head at. Did some of you even read the first post? To clear up some...

    Contemplating not playing HS next year

    I'm not sure if you have a reading comprehension issue or just a high level of mistrust in what people post here. I'm pretty sure that what you are indicating in your post was not said by me, nor implied in any of my posts. There is pride playing for your HS. But when does pride stop and...

    Contemplating not playing HS next year

    Her HS coach #1 rule is never to discuss playing time, period. He made that point very clear at the very first practice. My DD has no option of talking to him about playing position/time with him. His rules. She has talked to the batting coach about what she needs to work on so she knows...

    Contemplating not playing HS next year

    I hear what you are saying but I think you are putting words in my DD's mouth that she hasn't said. She hasn't said that she won't play unless she gets the role she wants, but it is the mentality of a coach that will only utilize a player in this capacity that is puzzling. My DD is a good...

    Contemplating not playing HS next year

    My DD and I was talking last night and she brought up the possibility of not playing HS next year. She is a sophomore this season and a second year starting pitcher on varsity. While she loves playing for the HS, the fact that she only pitches is a huge disappointment. Last year as a freshman...

    Grrrr, high school softball

    We played a travel tournament over the winter. Our team batted through the lineup through 2 innings and in the top of the third inning the opposing pitcher hit our starting pitcher, catcher and SS all in the same inning. The first one we considered an accident. The second we grew suspicious...
