    Takeover Dad

    So...new player joined team 2 weeks ago (12u). Dad has very quickly tried to insert himself in to the coaching staff.

    Offense or defense?

    Which is more important? I personally love watching great defense - smooth double plays, tracking down a deep OF gap ball, throwing out the runner at the plate on a fly ball - just love it!

    How to get off the softball roller coaster?

    I'd really appeciate advice from any parents who have "been there, done that" and were able to change or spouses who survived. DH is on the softball roller coaster with our oldest DD. She's 17, rising senior, plays 18U gold on a well-known, established east coast organization that has a...
