    Help! No 501c3...fundraising, do we need to get one?

    I'm close to going crazy here😂 My daughter's on 2nd Year 12A team. We are in an origanization, it seems to offer nothing but name recognition. The org is not a 501c3. The excuse they gave the coach is that teams change too often and even if the teams stay, the coaches may change, so it's too...

    Daily lol

    Amanda Scarborough is talking about it's not about how many pitches you throw but having 3 pitches you can throw really well. Someone disagreed saying pitchers can and should master several pitches or they will get rung up. She said her 2 daughters are able to do just that. So, I of course...

    Bat help.

    DD11 is currently swinging a CF6 -11 31inch bat. It's only been used since last spring but I do live in fear that she will break it or it will die, so I am thinking of a new bat for Christmas or just keeping eyes on prices for a deal. Planning to move her to -10. She is 5'4 and about 125 lbs...

    DD says she "can't feel arm" in windmill

    DD took a couple of weeks off from pitching. We were going to take a bit longer but decided last minute to go to a tryout yesterday. So we head out to the backyard to throw a few. She is 11 so I am not getting a great take on what she is saying. She is saying that she isn't feeling her arm in...

    This is a good story! No really, it is!

    My DD play 10u. She hit 2 homeruns on Sunday, as did 2 of her teammates! Yes, they all 3 hit 2! In the first game DD, who bats 3rd, came up and hit one out with 2 outs. Then the #4 batter follows with her own homerun. 5th batter gets on and #6 hits one right through the back window of a car...

    WWYD? Playing time 10u

    So. My DD plays 10u travel. She's the number 1 pitcher on a team with a number 2 and some girls who are learning. Our tournamens have been kind of weird this year bc of rain and lack of teams registered, but she has not been given much of an opportunity lately to play any other positions. She...

    I need a bat under $100! Need to decide today, help!

    Long story short: Bought DD11 a 32 CF6 on recommendation of hitting/pitching coach. She had been swinging a Bustos so she is feeling it is on the heavy side and needs to get used to it. Her Bustos doesn't have the thumbprint so she couldnt use at tournament. She used someone's cf7 -11 and hit...

    Shameless Brag Post-1st homerun

    DD 11 hit her first homerun yesterday! A 2 run homer over the left field fence!! I jumped up and down like a fool, and only held in the tears by sharing with everyone I know:) Then 2 games later, she hit her 2nd homerun! this time it was a 3 run homer. This field does have a very strange set up...

    Pre game warm up?

    I would love to know what Your DD's do for pre-game warmup. I figure if we get some examples I can give my dd some options so that she can figure out what best gets her ready. Thanks a bunch!

    Annoyed

    We were at Dick's Sporting Goods today and went over to look at cleats. They had them labeled as Women's Baseball. It left me feeling slightly annoyed. It's called fastpitch, morons!

    USSSA C Classification

    Hi! Me again. This is my current hyper focus:) When USSSA determines whether or not you can Classify as C, wil they use record from fall ball to make that determination? It makes sense to me that they would. DD10 team only lost 2 games this fall, one of which was to a team now classified as 12U...

    Help, advice, suggestions

    I am going to try to write this up without sounding like an rear or one of those parents. Lol. And the purpose of the post is to benefit the team, not my kid. So, here it goes. DD10 is going into her first spring with Her current team-they considered themselves a C team. The previous year they...

    Which bat?

    DD10 is currently swinging a Bustos. I started her with that bat as she seemed to have some trouble getting the bat around this spring. Looking good this fall, hitting quite a few line drives into the grass. The Bustos is a -13 drop. What bat would you go to next? A heavier bat that is a bit...

    Shameless brag thread

    DD 10 has been pitching for a year, she's been doing really well this fall. After a game yesterday one of the umps was saying to one of the other parents on her team(I was standing right behind where they were sitting) that he was really looking forward to watching Ella as she gets older. He...

    Do you have pitcher cover?

    If 1b is fielding a grounder, do you have the pitcher cover 1st? My vote is no, but others disagree. Fwiw we are talking 10u here although I don't know if my feelings would change at any age. Thanks.

    Wondering if this is common practice among coaches

    Just wondering if this is common practice. DD plays on a 10B team. #1 pitcher was out for the tournament so HC brought in a guest pitcher. The team had 3 other pitchers available. Obviously if you bring in a guest they have to get circle time. I am wondering if this is something I should expect...

    How much do pitchers pitch at practice?

    My dd10 is in her first spring of travel ball. She played at the C level this fall tried out for a different B team and made the team,based on her pitching. We were led to believe she would be number 2, number 1 is a great pitcher. The girl I would say is number 2 also looks really good most of...

    Not opening shoulders

    My DD10 is not getting her shoulders open. I have now brought it to the attention to both her former pitching coach as well as her new one, and they have not given any insight. Her hips are opening, I would assume they are not as open as they could be with the closed shoulders. This doesn't...
