    Pre-game rituals

    On the car ride to a tournament a few years ago, my dad asked if we could please put on some of his music. So, I went onto Pandora and turned on Queen Radio. That day I hit my first home run, and we have been listing to Queen Radio together before games ever since. As you can tell, he is very...

    How Does YOUR DD Finish Her Swing??

    ...and does it matter? I have seen girls finish high, finish low, with one hand, or with two, or wack themselves in the back so hard that it has to hurt. I understand that everyone has their own take on hitting. Previously, I went to a hitting coach who told me if I have a bruise on the center...

    Playing up, Up, UP

    Putting in my 2 cents If your girl's first year 14u team is being paired up and thrown into tournaments against 16u girls, it can absolutely be intimidating. When I played 14u, I was on a team with all girls my age playing against girls my age (and of course a first baseman who I could see eye...

    High School Softball

    I am a middle infielder, and I play on an 18u showcase team. Due to seniors departing, the team will be in need of middle infielders. However, as mentioned, there seems to be a set squad already. A friend of mine is dealing with the same situation (left the town travel league early) and she is...

    High School Softball

    Needed some thoughts and opinions on this situation.. Due to lacking funds, my high school is bringing in player's fathers to assist in coaching both varsity and JV, as well as run the winter training. They are the same fathers who coach the town's travel league, and their plan is to make their...

    Any off-season ideas??

    Along with two workouts per week with the team and privates, my coach wants us to find alternatives to keep active during the off-season. I was thinking something along the lines of Zumba or kickboxing, but I was curious if anyone else had other ideas on programs that my teammates and I could...

    Playing Down....need some help.

    If you feel that it is affecting your dd's mentality and game, I would pull her off the team. The point of JH ball is really just to play with your friends, get extra time on the diamond, and have fun. I would keep travel ball as your main focus, because college scouts don't usually come to JH...
