    Trying to Understand Coach's Motivation

    I have been scratching my head over this one and have to ask what you think the coach's motivation is. Here is the scenario: Kid hits a line drive, outfielder dives for it and misses it and the ball goes to the fence. Batter ends up with an inside the park HR. Batter runs home and other...

    Do you wish your DD never started playing softball?

    Official 2021 High School ball is all Political Thread!

    What coach or organization are you thankful for?

    We are especially grateful for DM who is my DD’s fielding and hitting coach. We have had some truly awful team coaches (daddy/mommy ball coaches) but DM has been a shining star. He has always believed in her and is always encouraging her.
