    Travel Ball: Sick of other Parents & the Coach

    My DD's team is full of issues for me. A coach who is, simply put, a moron that would ruin the program if it weren't for a few good men, including myself, helping to hold it together. The guy dislikes me and plays passive - aggressive games, such as not answering my phone calls, text messages...

    Anti-Slap Hitting Coach.....

    Hi Folks, One my DD's Coaches thinks that Slap Hitting is a waste. Whenever I mention slap hitting to him he gets a bit agitated and starts spurting negative comments, trying to discourage me from looking into this. He says things such as "hitters don't need to slap hit" and he won't even...

    Weighted Softballs for Pitchers? Good, Bad, or Useless

    Hello All, I've gotten into the habit of collecting various types of softballs and I have quite a few weighted softballs laying around. My Pitching DD really never gravitates towards them on her own. So, the other day I was told by a veteran men's fastpitch pitcher/instructor that she should...

    Sluggers, Did your DD#1 suffer any injuries from pitching? Was she icing down her arm - hurt or not? Was she in great physical condition? Just curious.

    How Much Is Too Much???

    DD plays for two teams and pitches on average about 8 innings a week. There is also at least one 1 hour pitching session or practice each week. She is 13 1/2 years old. A colleague/Softball trainer that I know told me that my daughter should be pitching more - in order to get better. What is...

    Faster: The need for speed!

    Hello All, My DD has molded herself through sheer hard work into a ballplayer in just 2.5 years. She slides like an absolute pro and she hits every game but her running looks like slow motion - resulting in outs that could have been potential runs scored. She's a great kid that gets a little...

    Softball Posters, t-shirts, etc.- Where?

    Really, you could have saved that. Google is the first place the average joe looks for everything. I'm looking for those special unique products that likely won't make it to the top of a search engine. The sites and stuff that Softball fanatics, in particular, might know about. For example, I...

    Yelling & Serious Coach? Take 'em Or Leave 'em.

    Thanks for the reply. I know that I'm going to have to talk to them regarding my expectations. Last year, I got into an argument/debate that lasted for 2 1/2 hours after the game with the problematic one of the duo. Just not an easy person to work with.

    Yelling & Serious Coach? Take 'em Or Leave 'em.

    Sparky Guy, Don't know the answer yet. Just looking for some wisdom from the masses. And I'm not running a "cookies and candy" program...Lol. But I don't want the girls to be discouraged out of the game or lose there love for it by a coach that wants to make kids cry. At the end of the day...

    Yelling & Serious Coach? Take 'em Or Leave 'em.

    Greetings, My latest dilemma..... I am the primary organizer of several teams that compete in a regional league. Part of my responsibility is to get coaching for our teams. Last year, we had a Mother & Daughter duo that stepped in and filled a void where there was no coach for our 13 & 14 year...

    MandM, I needed to vent and did so in my post. Thanks for replying. Be glad that you have a spouse that you can vent too. My beloved Wife gives me about 60 seconds a week to tell her what's going on in Softball land. Part of the problem is that I am very much involved in the organizational...
