    How much Chirping?

    Question for the vets here. How much chirping do you take from the benches? I am not asking about the usual "whoah" or "nice spot Mary, looked good". I am talking stuff from players like talking about not golfing, he isn't calling that strike for our pitcher, that girl was so safe - learn the...

    Hit # 300

    I don't know how much of a milestone this is in the world of softball, but this is my daughter's 300th hit in organized travel ball. Luckily for us she has played on teams since she was 10 years old that kept very good stats per season and I was able to gather them all together and realized...

    The game doesn't know

    https://youtu.be/hShZQVezpN4 0 for 5 to start the season, 1 for 8 coming into the last at bat, she hits a 2 run walk-off double for a conference win. Keep grinding. Each at bat is a game in itself, the game doesn't know, or care if you are 0 for 5, or 5 for 5.

    Respect for the game

    We were playing the last game of a 4 game showcase in PA over the weekend. 4:30 start, not a college coach in sight, STRICT drop dead time of 80 minutes. We kick a few balls around and they go up 6 -2, we didn't look good at all. Probably about 10 minutes left when we are due to come up for...

    Almost that time . . .

    When I first joined this site in 2009 I was a "NEWsoftballdad", just starting 10U. Well, here we are almost 8 years later and I am about to be a "NOsoftballdad". DD is a rising senior and has decided not to play past high school, due to a lot of factors, job, school work, college major...

    Tryout thoughts (sorry for length)

    This is the first year in 4 seasons that my DD has truly had to do the tryout circuit. I can tell you it has been stressful for her and her parents. The stress of her performing under that pressure and then having to make the best decision about where to spend her Junior, and hopefully, Senior...

    Going to be a rough day . . .

    I came here a a "NewSoftballDad" in 2009 when my daughter got into travel ball with an 8U town travel team. She stayed with that organization until the bright lights of a "high level" travel program lured us away. That lasted one season, the daddy ball and treatment of my daughter stripped her...
