Thanks for the lead! I found the USA Softball New England site with the tournament listings here: http://www.asanewengland.com/TournamentInq.aspx?RegionKey=1
Yeah. I imagine a lot of mixed feelings. Our home field was not in great shape for a few years. When my oldest graduated, I kept remembering her little league days when she picked flowers in the outfield. :)
Hell no!! And get yelled at by a-hole softball dads like me. No thank you! LOL
I actually think the softball moms are worse with umpires but don't tell my wife that.
I am sad to say that my role as a softball dad will end soon. This week marks the end of a 11 year ride in fastpitch for me. Both my girls played travel ball and their varsity teams. My oldest even plays college D3. But they both decided that this will be their last season playing softball...
I wrote to Island Fastpitch last year and nobody responded. I will try again.
Given the lack of good options, I think I may have to create a league or tournament myself. Setting up the event is doable. But finding the fields for an outside event is hard. Its so tough to find softball...
Hi all,
I posted something similar last year so I am checking again in case something new popped up.
My daughter's team have all aged out of travel ball but they want to play in the summer. Are there any fastpitch leagues or tournaments for adults near the NYC/Tristate Area? Even a little...
My DD and her 18U team are playing her final travel tournament next week.
My daughter will play in college but for players not playing in college, is this the end of their fastpitch journey?
I saw that there's a 23U recreational league for baseball. Do leagues like that exist for...
A Varsity coach will look for quality players whether they come from JV or not. So the real question is, is your JV team preparing the players for Varsity? Does your community support fastpitch in general?
My neighborhood does not unfortunately. They barely tolerate fastpitch and favor...
I would suggest bringing the bucket when DD is fairly consistent with her pitches and spotting. If she's still wild, the bucket causes more pain (literal physical pain) for you. Some pitches are harder to catch when you're on the bucket.
Low drop balls around the edges are really hard in...
This is the first time hearing about "no wrist snaps." Seems a little counterproductive.
Wrist snap IS needed to generate spin on some types of pitches. Not everyone throws them the same way but many pitchers employ at least a little snap for rise-balls and curveballs. My daughter's...
Thanks for info. Very helpful.
At first i was disappointed about playing on turf in the summer but after thinking about it, I'm not sure it's worse that playing on sunbaked hard clay. At least on turf, we get truer bounces.
Hmm. Hot field vs lumpy field... :)
