We haven't had one of these in awhile. Fall season should be going by now I would think. What's everyone up to this weekend?

We're in our first tournament of the year this weekend, the ISA Fall World Series in TN. It's my husband's head coaching debut. I'm hoping we do well in this one before we go head first into the next two, where we're signed up to play 12U A. Sure wish we had one more A level pitcher!

We had one of our players break her ankle this week :( I'm sad she'll have to sit out right at the start of everything. Last year we were plagued with injuries all year long. I was really hoping we'd not have any this year but this is where we're starting out. Hopefully no more!

Good luck to your daughter and husband. I really feel for girl with the broken ankle. We have three players out so far this fall. Our fall season is past the halfway point.

Two friendlies tomorrow, against teams who are probably not at my DDs' team's level. I don't expect much, but hopefully DD2 will have time in the circle. DD1 is their primary catcher, she caught every inning of the tournament we played in two weeks ago. She is home sick from school right now, and can barely move. Hope she will be able to play tomorrow, she will be devastated if she isn't.

DD's team is playing in a Showcase this weekend. 3 games on Sat. and one on Sunday at 4pm. Really 4pm? There will be many colleges playing on the same fields, which will be kinda cool to watch.

Did a little tweaking in DD's swing set up, load and stride. I am ready to see it in action to see if there are any drastic improvements in power!

DD got a concussion in soccer and is missing her first softball showcase. Bummed, but so glad she'll be ok. She finished her fall season playing up/guesting for a 16U team and had two exceptional games against an 18U team. Can't tell you how proud we were of her! She even took one off the shoulder. Coaches from both dugouts started onto the field and she waved them off.

DS has soccer and the weather is looking good. This is most likely his last year and possibly my last year coaching, so I'm really trying to soak it all in. This particular group of players are exceptional human beings and it's been a treat to watch them play and grow. Hate it when these kids grow up! Looking forward to watching the grandkids someday!

DD has a bracket-only tournament. First game is Sat at 10:25..if they lose they don't play till 5:25 ughh. I hope they win but they are a team with half 08's and half 09's and are playing
an 07 so I am not too confident.

Just behind home plate
Here's what we have going on this weekend...

Currently at lunch after sitting through two face painting sessions for tonight's football game. We're playing one of the top ten teams in the state for our school's classification. Then, we have our pep rally coming up at 1:30. Game at 7.

Saturday for softball, we play 2 non tournament games. The weather is supposed to be nice, here for mid October. They're calling for partly cloudy weather and in the low 80's. Then, we're having a football watch party that evening.

Sunday, there are 2 more softball games we're playing in. I'm bummed that I won't be playing behind the plate either Saturday or Sunday because of elbow tendonitis. But, I can still help with my bat.

I feel bad for the OP's DD's teammate. I had a minor ankle injury from cheer leading thats almost fully healed. So, I can sympathize with the injured player.

Second of three fall tournaments for DD and myself AC. We have roster of 13 but are riddled with injuries, and have one girl not making it Saturday for pool play because she has "a very important soccer game". So we are down to 9.5 players this weekend. The half is because another girl hurt her elbow doing backyard gymnastics and can't throw. So it should be interesting.

My dd's team is playing in a PGF Regional Qualifier. Pool play started tonight and we had two games. Won both games outscoring the opponents 24-0. They have one more game of pool play tomorrow, and Sunday is single elimination bracket play.

DD has a doubleheader on Sunday. First game is against a team coached by a real prince (during a game last spring the guy insulted DD loud enough so she could hear). Second game is against a team whose coach says DD is his second favorite softball player.

One coach inspires her because she wants to prove him wrong, the other inspires her by believing in her. Should be a good day.
