    Fastball in college

    I'm sure its been discussed before... so I apologize if it has. Do pitchers still throw fastballs in college? Any idea how often? I realize it depends on the pitcher too, but in general I'd imagine maybe a handful per game, located just off the plate or when its 3-0 and you'd rather not walk...

    Any punishment needed here? ineligible players?

    Someone posted this article on another forum. It looks like some players tried to fake their address on the transfer form to avoid a 30 day restriction on play. Scoops on Softball: NJSIAA to have eligibility hearing on 2 IC Players | Varsity Aces | NorthJersey.com I kind of have mixed...

    Baseball bleachers taken down after ruling that girls softball team's seats must be

    Now why would they do that? I would think a better resolution would be for the softball parents (assuming it was a softball parent) that complained to have fund raised the money to help the softball team out. Baseball bleachers taken down after ruling that girls softball t - Fox 2 News...

    5th year offers

    I've talked to some travel coaches and they say sometimes they can get college coaches to offer a 5th year. It sounds stupid, but what exactly does that mean for my player? Does that mean she will play 5 years? Or does it mean she can do something like red shirt, or wait out an injury? Do...

    what do players wear to college camps?

    My dd never knows what to wear to a college softball camp. Is it too much to wear the school shirt to the camp? Like if she was going to UVA camp; is wearing the UVA tshirt too much if she is a recruit they are looking at?

    how do 9th & 10th graders verbal?

    Sorry if this has been covered before. But can someone with any experience with this explain how 9th & 10th graders verbal to a school? I understand the player can go on an unofficial visit. Does it happen then? Is scholarship money talked about at that time? I assume most havent event taken...

    Nationally Ranked Private HS vs. Unknown Public HS

    Sounds like a dumb question because the answer sounds like it might be obvious. How much weight does playing for a Nationally ranked private HS (in softball) compared to playing for a relatively unknown or weak HS softball program help in playing in college? I realize the majority of players...

    New Jugs Travel Net (Bow net competition?)

    We use the Bow Net. Anyone try this out? Looks like Jugs is trying to compete with that market. JUGS Compete Practice Travel Screen Not sure what I think yet. Probably need to see it in person. I like how the entire jugs net seems like it has give so it becomes like a big sock to catch the...

    Deception rule

    Our girls are taught to run on strike 3 to 1B no matter what. Dropped or not dropped. Even if less than 2 outs and a runner on 1B. Our head coach likes to just keep the girls hustling and sprinting. At younger ages it draws an errant throw sometimes and at older age groups not at all. By then...

    Swing Mechanic MP30 Baseball Training Bat

    Anyone have any thought on this for fastpitch? Wouldn't using a regular wood bat for practice give similar results as a regular wood bat is heavier than fastpitch bats. Swing Mechanics MP30 Baseball Training Bat

    HS Sports vs. Travel Softball

    I was reading a post earlier about a girl/parent conflicted about attending a college softball showcase but had a HS soccer game conflict and if they should tell coach. There was a strong sentiment that she should not miss the soccer game and shouldn't have committed to HS soccer if she knew she...

    Tryout - Didn't make it?

    How do you let people know they didn't make your club/travel team? Our organization had about 300 girls try out for 8 teams. Over 80 girls for just 14u. How do you let people know they didn't make the team. Do you contact each player/parent individually? Or do you just post a list of who...

    Wrist bands for plays. Thoughts?

    How do you feel about QB style wrist bands for play calling? I saw it at a 12U game. Everyone had a wristband they looked at before every single at bat or pitch (on defense). It was definitely a good team. But I think maybe they would have been good without it also. Not sure how I feel about it...

    ITB - injured player rules

    I would like to hear feedback on whether the umpire was correct or not in his interpretation of the tiebreaker rule. Situation was we had used up all of our bench players and had no more substitutes left. A player was injured and could not continue. The last regulation inning ended with the...
