    DD's team may be imploding

    DD plays on a 16U team. During tryouts, she was told her favorite coach of all time was going to be the HC. Turned out not to be the case. He's been an AC. Have always been unhappy about this bait 'n switch. AC has been just as frustrated with the situation. HC makes questionable coaching...

    DD ordered to intentionally hit the batter

    My dd (16) was pitching yesterday and her team was struggling. The other team was making a gesture whenever the crossed the plate that our coach viewed as disrespectful, so he called a timeout and met with DD and her catcher. He instructed DD to intentionally hit the next batter. Throw it in...

    No catcher for pitching lessons

    Long gone are the days where I can sit on a bucket and catch for my daugher, age 16. And now we have an ongoing problem with getting her team catchers to commit to coming to her lessons every week to catch for her. We had one who said she'd do it, but has missed more sessions than she's...

    Colorado Freedom tournament next week

    Hi all, My daughter's team is playing next week in Bloomfield, CO at the Freedom tournament. I can't find a website that shows the schedule or anything really specific about the tournament. There are some blurbs here and there, but nothing like what I'm used to seeing for a big tournament...

    Daughter punished by coaches this past weekend

    My 15 year old has a problem I don't know how to help her with. She's one of 3 pitchers on her team. She's also an outstanding outfielder. Up until this weekend, each girl pitched pretty evenly. They are all pretty much at the same level, but there are times when one has a better weekend...

    I'm not very familiar with the recruiting process, so I don't know all the names for things. Can someone tell me what kind of camp this is? Thx!

    As coaches, please tell me...

    My 14 year old daughter had her first tournament with her new team this past weekend. She had the worst playing weekend in a very long time. She is beside herself. On a personal level, my poor daughter is dealing with something very difficult (and very personal) in her home life that no kid...

    ASA rankings

    A couple of months ago, I followed a link to an ASA website where they had ranked the top 140 (or so) teams in the U.S. by age group. I can't remember where I saw the link, and I'd like to visit that page again. Does anyone have the website URL for that? Thanks!

    How many tryouts?

    My daughter is looking for a new team. She had one tryout already with the team she really wants to play for. They had to leave for Nationals and so the coach was unable to get back to her. We probably won't hear from her until next week sometime. Meantime, other teams are having their...

    Balanced v. End-Loaded

    At what point does a girl switch from a balanced bat to an end-loaded one? My dd is 14, usually bats 3rd and is a switch hitter.

    Question about a tie in pool play

    Yesterday my daughter's team and another team each won all three of their pool play games. To break the tie, they used the run differential method. Biggest run differential got the #1 seed in bracket play. Our third game was a close one, with the score tied 10-10 in the last inning. We...

    A little help with understanding how Big Tournaments work

    There is a "Western Nationals" tournament in Medford, Oregon this summer. How do teams get qualified to play in this tournament? Or do they have to qualify (meaning, any team can sign up to play in it)? I've asked several people and no one I've talked to seems to know the answer. What I'm...
