    Heart Guard and Commotio Cordis

    I replied on another thread about masks and I mentioned heart guards and I was asking about any studies relating to them. I remember reading a while ago about them not being worth the time or money. I'm still searching for the artical I once read, but it was talking about how heart trama occurs...

    Mask Watch

    Being a father of two high school aged boys, I have asked them about wearing cups for sports. They told me years ago nobody wears them for baseball except the catchers. In football nobody wears the in HS and I know nobody wears them in the pro's either. I'm not saying this is a good thing I'm...

    She has a hitting coach...

    On my DD's team the head coach is in contact with her hitting coach. We have girls for all over the place and the head coach is in contact with most if not all of the different hitting coaches. He said he's mostly wants to get the cues on the same page with the hitting coaches. He also like to...

    Bat Sharing????

    On my DD's Xeno when she hits the sweet spot it has more of a hollow sound (almost sounds like a DeMarini). If she hits it anywhere other than the true sweet spot it makes different ping sounds. The closer to the true sweet spot the less ping sound is heard. She uses the different sounds coming...

    Shake things up?

    Every player should play more than one position. On my DD's 12U team each player plays at mutiple positions during each game. No players have a set position. That being said the coach doesn't put anyone who can't handle a certain position in that spot, like a lefty or slower fielder playing at...

    Making Changes towards all stars

    Sounds a little like letting a team stay down in the fall to win trophies. What about the pitchers that pitched all season at the 10U age bracket. I guess they are told sorry no all stars for you we have two pitchers from the 12U age group moving back down to take your place. If the players...

    Anyone wear Boombah Cleats

    My DD and my son both wear Boombah and they both love them. My son says they are the most comfortable cleats he ever had. Also all the different colors they have will match most team colors. The only down side to Bommbah is their shipping and handling charges are just a little higher then most...

    Tryouts Today

    It seems early but today is the first of two tryouts with my DD's current organization. The next tryout is Aug. 8th. She's 11yo and will be moving up to 12U this fall along with 8 others on her 10U team. Here lays there problem, there is only one, maybe two others players at her skill level from...

    Move up to 12U or stay another year at 10U?

    We had the choice last fall to move up or not and decided to stay at 10U. We're in a little different situation, my DD is not a pitcher but she does play first base. We felt that there was no rush for her to play up at that time and we wanted her to get as much playing time and training as...

    I was attacked by parents at practice tonight!

    You will never make everyone happy so don't even try. There is always going to be one or two parents that will always be unhappy, that's just life. You said that you have been there with your own daughter but you went from one extreme to another. All outfield to all infield, so one of the...

    Questions about Xeno

    Thanks for the quick response. I was a little gun shy because I bought a bat last spring for my son. I was told this year the bat can no longer be used, because it doesn't have the new USSSA marking on it. Must be a local rule but they would only accept the new mark. Bummer because it does have...

    Questions about Xeno

    I'm not sure if this is correct, but I heard that for 2013 bats must have the new USSSA sticker on it. If not it can't be used in certian tournaments or leagues. If anyone has any info on this let us know. I'm thinking about a 2011 for my DD, but if she can't use it next year I'll just have to wait.

    12U Rec. 1st Complaint this Season – Team Size

    You think 15 is a lot. My DD's team has 18 on it's roster. Our rec. program for softball is bad. Baseball on the other hand is treated like it's the best thing in the world. We play in a local league that is made up of 6 or 7 towns. Some of the towns field as many as 5 baseball teams including...

    More Important....

    I'm not sure if it's legal or not but we always chose a game over practice. This is a tough one b/c a scrimmage is a practice game not as important in the big scheme of things. Also our middle school only plays during the week and pretty much right after school so there should be a way for...

    Infield Face Masks and College

    PA. Yea I know, they can be funny and I really don't take them too serious but this one caught my attention and I just wanted to put it out there. I was looking up softball forums and I found one from another state and believe it or not it was the same thing. Thanks

    Infield Face Masks and College

    I was reading on another board about how wearing an infield mask hurts your DD chances with D1 coaches. My DD is not in the age group, she plays 10U, so it doesn't affect her at this time. But what quite a few posters are saying is that it makes them look weak, that their skill level is not what...

    Dumbest Thing a Parent Ever Said!!!

    I had a parent once tell me they took their 10 yr old kid to be athleticly evaluated and the specalist said the player should be playing SS. Years later and I still get a chuckle from that one. We joked about starting our own company and charging parent $500.00 to test their kids.

    Running Through 1st Base

    You do not have to peel to the right, all you have to do is return to first base without making a move towards second. By peeling to the right you leave yourself further from second base. The runners job is to look either for an overthrow on a play to first or watch the fielders fielding the...
