Subs vs extra player vs a coach new to 10U
Thank you all for your input. We had a good first game. We got clobbered, thankful for the 7 run per inning rule they cut the game at 55 minutes with a score of 16 to 1. At least we scored. We did bat through the entire line up. The girls were prepared in practice but they got nervous and the...- Brandi Brown

Subs vs extra player vs a coach new to 10U
I have 12 girls on my roster, one who has only been to practice twice and plans to be on vacation after school gets out, so really I have 11 to play. I finally was able to get in touch with another coach who was under the same impression as I was, that we had to play "tournament style" play, his...- Brandi Brown

Subs vs extra player vs a coach new to 10U
These are the rules I have been given. My 10U rep is the one that told me they had to play the same position throughout the game unless subbed for. She also told me they had to pitch from 43 feet so I don't know how accurate her knowledge is. It's usually the other coaches who chew me up and...- Brandi Brown

Subs vs extra player vs a coach new to 10U
I'm not asking for a butt chewing. I am just trying to understand the rules which say if you don't have a sub then you take an out in the line up if someone gets hurt. Every game I have played someone had some reason they had to leave early or sit out because they got sand in the eye or took a...- Brandi Brown

Subs vs extra player vs a coach new to 10U
I think that is my question. The rules only say 9 players unless the 2 extra players are used and a designated hitter is used then all 12 can be played . I know only 9 play on the field but I am confused about why using extra player option is better or worse than just using substitutions.- Brandi Brown

Subs vs extra player vs a coach new to 10U
Please don't beat me with a worn out t-ball bat. I finally got those kicked of the field. ;) So today is our first real game of the season. We had a scrimmage a couple weeks ago but it was just for fun so no scoring or line up worries, girls played all over for the experience. This year is our...- Brandi Brown

Yes, we will Run !
Yes! I love this. We implemented an MVP award this year that helped in the beginning of the season but then I'm a big softie and now everyone has won it. =( Waste of money, I know. Sigh. I'm digging the teammate encouragement thing you have going on there. We have some that communicate well and...- Brandi Brown

Swimming on Game Day
Our rule is no swimming. My daughter knows the rule and schedules her fun around it choosing her summer program field trips accordingly. She is committed becoming a better player in everything she does so she almost never complains. My parents however are a different story. I had one set that...- Brandi Brown

Can't I just be a fan of the game???
I think we should all be a fan of the game and the girls. Granted it is only 8U but I cheer for both teams when they make good plays, good hustle, nice hit, and I try to always clap and tell the ones that strike out good effort. Those kiddos are hard enough on themselves they need all of the...- Brandi Brown

To mask or not to mask...
Thanks everyone. I ended up finding one before the Saturday game. We only played two innings and had our *** handed to us by an 8U team that gets play 10U. I'm grateful for our can do, have fun attitude. Those girls might have won but they didn't look like they were having fun. =(- Brandi Brown

To mask or not to mask...
I know it's a dumb question and I think I know the answer but I will ask anyways.Tomorrow starts 5 games in 7 days then season is over. We started kid/coach pitch on Monday against a very leisure team so we didn't worry about it as I had ordered one and it hadn't arrived yet. Since then I found...- Brandi Brown

Choosing positions
OK. When next season starts things may change but for now... Three of the girls pitching have a parent coach and at least one other will be trying out for the position, depending on who we pick up new. My plan is to have a couple of unbiased judges that don't know any of the girls come see the...- Brandi Brown

Choosing positions
Ha ha! That is a funny question. We are supposed to have fun but many of the coaches that I have met are uptight and intense. They were the ones that ate me alive last year for my first year. We will have the D3K rule next year. I'm not sure what open home plate means so I still have much to...- Brandi Brown

Choosing positions
Next week is our last week of 8U rec. Next year at least 7 of my 10 current girls are going to move up to 10U so I am preparing myself for a whole new set of rules. Hopefully they don't eat me alive next year..... Anyways, I have been chatting up many people and getting much needed help and...- Brandi Brown
