    Team Merger

    This happened at 16u with two very very high level teams. Started out with a roster of over 20 kids. By the time nationals rolled around they were down to like 10-12 of their actual players left Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Nice weather at PGF Nationals So Cal.

    My big kid was there last week and my baby is there this week in 10s. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Have to choose a team...again.

    If dd seriously wants to make a run at college ball she needs to realize it’s not about loving her teammates anymore. It’s about the end goal and the team that’s going to get her there. That doesn’t mean playing for terrible people or terrible teammates but it does mean looking at the situation...

    If Softball HAS to Have Time Limits…

    Usssa has the shortest time limited I’ve ever seen and the furthest thing from real softball there is. PGF around here tend to be the longest usually 80min pool and 90 min bracket. Sometimes bracket is 7 innings in qualifiers . Alliance is just taking hold so not sure what their qualifiers look...

    CSE/On Deck Evaluation??

    I would use the reported score. My kiddo never knew all of her numbers just used what was on the score report Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Top teams in the nation that are not franchising?

    Bandits allowed one team in California to use their name this year because they wanted to play PGF and their organization wouldn’t allow them too. It’s not a franchise plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    A ball vs playing up thoughts?

    There is a world of difference between 14B and 14A anyone who says different has never seen a real 14A team. A real 12A team will beat a good 14B team 9/10 times. Top Gun is an excellent organization keep the lines of communication open if she decides she wants to play in college. Sent from...

    Do your players really hit >.600?

    I was assuming and guess I shouldn’t assume that home to first meant a timed 20 like on deck when the OP said 2.9. My dd is a righty and lasers at just over 2.7 at on deck. Hand timed at various camps she has been anywhere from 2.62 to 2.9 depending on how they do it. I assume at camps they are...

    CSE/On Deck Evaluation??

    Not sure what you are talking about dds on deck generated 1 composite score and 1 raw number from each category unless you did it more than once? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Boombah bag

    Boombah bags have never held up for me. We’ve always used the demarini back packs. She’s been playing with the same org since 10u and is just finishing first year 16s and we’ve only needed 2….and we play a lot…including flying with them. If you have trouble again try those. Sent from my...

    Another age level question

    Register 11u at whatever level you are. You can always play up but if you register 12u then you can’t attend an 11u tournament if you want to. The 11u usssa nationals in Iowa are a great place for 11u teams to test their stuff at the end of the year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Leaving National Teams

    The sparkler is the most convoluted hard to understand huge tournament I’ve ever seen. Don’t forget there is also the TV bracket…which is somehow connected to the power pool, but anything lower than the supplemental is just a regular local tournament. There are some good teams in the...

    What’s the benefit in changing names?

    Last summer was the beginning. This summer was the explosion. They at least have maintained that only their main teams can use the premier in their name so it’s a little easier to know who’s who and there are some flat out bad franchise teams. There are very very few big names that aren’t...

    What’s the benefit in changing names?

    Nope impact thunderbolts and ec bullets are all franchised out now….don’t know who you are playing and could be anywhere from barely better than Rec to solid national level. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
