    Player safety when injured

    I don’t think my kids have ever been at an event without me or their dad. I am a physician and have often been called to the field to administer basic first aid until appropriate staff can arrive. For travel ball I carry an extensive first aid kit and I’ve put tampons in noses, splinted arms...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    Because in every other aspect of my life I have no issue with transgenderism so this instance is inconsistent with the rest of my over all belief system which at the core believes in supporting opportunities for all humans regardless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    This is where I’m at. My heart really wants to be inclusive but my head is winning this one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DEFENSE

    I agree that in the collegiate game defense is secondary to hitting. There just isn’t enough pitching to go around that can keep a game low scoring so you better be able to slug it out. Those players that can do both are special kids. What really suprises me defensively is the number of...

    Hello from Illinois

    Welcome! Illinois has a strong PGF presence. Not sure what part of IL you are in but try to get hooked up on Dave Betchers list. He generally runs the best tournaments in the state. The better teams you can umpire the less crazy the parents are going to be and the fewer unusual situations you...

    Dallas Morning News article re Portal and Recruiting

    This is the class I feel got the biggest part of the shaft. Lose your senior season. Have your freshman playing time cut because of players that were supposed to move and didn’t then compete against the next group without the benefit of all the experience you should have had. Sent from my...

    Is my DD considered fast...…for her age?

    As a committed senior my righty runs a 2.6 flat home to first hand timed by her high school couch and a 2.7 on deck laser timed dash. The way you time matters so comparisons are hard. Some kids will get slower as they go through puberty some will stay fast and get faster. Being hard to get out...

    Is my DD considered fast...…for her age?

    It is easier to compare if you just have her run a straight 20 yard dash. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    5 Simple Rules for Surviving High School Softball

    Well these stories make me grateful for dds high school experience. Has it been perfect certainly not. Do I agree with all the decisions the coach makes…nope but has it been a million times better than what’s described here. For sure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Big 10 softball

    I’d say it’s a combination of all of that. DD wouldn’t consider Michigan Minnesota or Wisconsin due to cold weather. Purdue has been flat out awful so they were off the list. Indiana was great from coaching/facilities and the team is on the rise but ultimately felt the campus was too large. She...

    Stepping up to a -11

    College has some

    Fully paid softball scholarships are rare but fully paid stacked scholarships with academic and/or financial aid are not rare at all. Many coaches will literally calculate what they expect their players to be offered academically and offer the difference athletically to create a full ride...

    College Roster Sizes, sorry some of you don't get to go with us~

    Cf8 vs 2020 CF

    DD loved the CFs until the 2020 then ended up with an fnx and now lxt….she does think the newest blue lxt has more pop than the red from last year but she’s a weirdo that never liked the ghost. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
