    Looking for guest opportunity for New England Finest's for DD & Teammate

    Reach out to Angel Mangual of Team Long Island- he also does a Top Prospects team. He always had a team in the NE Finest Tourney. You can also reach out to Dave Lotti of Rhode Island Thunder. I believe he is the director of New England’s Finest tourneys and probably hook you up

    More bad news for Auburn

    Yes everyone makes mistakes, Yes I drank in college before age 21. No I didn't smoke weed or do other drugs. I followed the team, school rules AND laws of my state and community..it was not that hard. Why can't we hold ourselves accountable for anything anymore??! Yes kids make mistakes. There...

    More bad news for Auburn

    Exactly. Whereven is the line drawn? I read this a while bakc and it really resonates here..about stretching the rules. To see the altercation between Walton and Fagan with zero consequences made me sad. What are we teaching? Give this a read again.. Sorry can't get the link to attach. It is the...

    Skip practice for private pitching lesson.

    While I agree no player is any more important or should be treated with kid gloves, I believe OP was talking about a one time occurrence at the 10u level. My DD out worked every kid on any teams she's ever played on, and any kids on other teams as well.She continues to out work everyone and...

    Skip practice for private pitching lesson.

    LOL Riseball...I still think it needs to be put in other perspective. One missed practice for a lesson not a big deal. #letitgo ��

    Skip practice for private pitching lesson.

    OMG this is 10u people. Missing one practice for a lesson or grandpa's 90th birthday or a school function should NOT be the end of the world. My DD is a pitcher..she went to EVERY practice, worked on her own (while other kids were playing video games, going to dance, sleeping etc) 4-5days a week...

    more drama from Florida v Auburn

    IMO Waltons behavior and rewponse is very wrong..no questuon. But I'm talking about the player. Not shaking hands with coaches? Not acceptable in my book. EVER. You are on the ball field after a game, respect it. IMO the fact that "we" think it's okay has led to a society of entitled and ill...

    more drama from Florida v Auburn

    NOT acceptable behavior by the athlete. Leave your personal issues outside the fence and respect the GAME. What if she had a problem with an opposing player? Would we not think it is unacceptable to drop her hand? Quit whining. Suck it up. You see Walton in Walmart and choose to ignore him-fine...

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    Obviously she is a beast in the circle and very very impressive. Not to change subjects but DD and I saw Megan Good of James Madison pitch live and she was being clocked at 69- 71 and you could see and HEAR the spin. Another impressive young lady

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    My DD may or may not get more speed.It's fun to dream but we are realists..I also point out Alexis Osorio who keeps her riseball in the 63range.. DD hit 65mph a year ago.She jumped from 60 to 65 in one year due to i think physical maturity and focus on better mechanics. So maybe that's all...

    The Kelly Barnhill Thread

    Riseball, I hear you and agree. My daughter is mechanically sound..she continues to work on her craft, working on little things and her flaws that creep in. She is same size as Barnhill, very strong and athletic..She looks fluid and balanced and ashe a HS sophomore tops out at 65mph right now...

    Diamond9 Showcase - Orlando - this coming weekend - anyone done this before?

    My DD played at D9 last year and she did get interest from coaches who stopped to watch..but she was also a hard throwing uncommitted freshman pitcher and happened to also hit a ball off the fence while there. This year she is picking up with a a different team (hers is not going) and she is...

    Should I say anything?

    I would NOT say anything...DD is pitcher and has had her share of lazy and disinterested catchers through the years BUT I never felt it was my or DD place to complain about another kid...Honestly they all are developing at that age.I mean at 11 they were just happy when the catcher held onto...
