DD top moment was not on the field but in the words from her her very first SB coach. When DD started T-ball when she was 5 she had an older gentleman as her coach and his son as his assistant, they asked me to coach with them. DD played for this gentleman for many years. When she was 8 this...
we use the little soft skills balls, they have blue and red stitching on them. when doing front toss with them (hitting with a broom stick) i will make DD and DS call out the color of stitching. sometimes i will toss two different color stitched balls and tell them what color they have to hit...
Last night DD came to me with tears in her eyes. I asked what was wrong and she said i can't believe tomorrow will be my last time trying out for HS softball. She is a senior and has been on the team the past 3 years (already a lock for the team). But the realization that her HS career is...
My DD's HS starts at 7:15 and ends at 2:45. 8th period is for athletics. JV games start at 4:30 and varsity follows 30 minutes after. if rain is coming they will play varsity first then JV since varsity games count and JV doesnt. all fields in our district have lights so no issue there. we...
Looking for some Nike softball pants for DD and i am having a hard time finding them. Does anyone know a reliable company i can order online from? Please share who you order uniforms from.
my daughter carries 3 bats as well. 1 winter bat, 1 bat for hitting off the machines, and her live ball bat. 2 are the exact same bat (machine and live ball) and then winter bat is an older model of the same bat (if it breaks in the cold oh well).

after watching the video i notice two things. One, looks like some of the girls are swinging at bad pitches. Two, it looks as if the girls are trying to pull the outside pitch and not going with the pitch to the opposite field. My DD (lefty) works almost always looking to drive a pitch to...
I would ask all coaches & parents on DFP that if you have played in and around the Houston area since 95 that you try to reach out to past players and friends of your DD and make everyone aware of this. Please sit down with DD and former players/friends and talk with them and ask questions. IF...
My daughter has played in numerous tournaments that he was the UIC. i have talked to him on many occasions and he always seemed like a great guy (yeah i know that's what we always hear when someone does something bad) but i would have never expected something like this from this guy. goes to...
i use the little foam balls and put different colored markings on the balls, the kids will then use a broom stick for the bat. i make the kids say the color they see on the ball prior to hitting, this really works the eyes.
