    5 Simple Rules for Surviving High School Softball

    So why is softball unique? We got our coach after she got fired from being the basketball coach. Girls basketball doesn't pay the bills either. I agree with you that you can't get rid of her but why does softball get the absolute worst coach?

    5 Simple Rules for Surviving High School Softball

    Just remember however bad you think your kids high school coach is my kid's is far worse. She spent all of non district demanding they "stop at contact' when hitting.

    34" Bats

    Are 34" bats only for really tall and big girls? I have heard that 33 are more common even in college. Can more average height girls (5'5 or so) ever use the big bat successfully? What ate the pros and cons of 34/24 vs 33/24?

    Becoming a pitcher only?

    My DD's HS team lost their catcher for a few weeks and that was no fun...so I might add catchers to the list that should not run. NFHS rules are pretty generous on courtesy runners so I say let those bench girls run.

    Becoming a pitcher only?

    Softball pitchers are often some of the bigger players so you should definitely let them hit if they can hit....but a good pitcher should not run if they don't have to....particularly on high school teams.

    Stepping up to a -11

    One thing worth noting is a drop 11 is not necessarily a drop 11. It is my experience the bigger the drop and the shorter the bat the bigger the delta. I think I would get a drop 10 asap for my DD if I had it over to do again.

    Stopping at contact

    I have definitely seen the drill were they stop at contact. Her coach is actually insisting that they stop at contact during the game.

    Stopping at contact

    My DD's high school coach absolutely insists that they stop at contact. This is absolutely contrary to everything I have ever heard about hitting. Is this some new fad that I haven't heard of before?

    Bucket Dad Mitt

    I was actually able to catch up with the person who took my mitt and got it back so I haven't looked at this thread, but the problem about her throwing hard and my lack of softball skills remains. I actually went to Scheels and the Rawlings Heart of the Hide fit my hand really well, but it will...

    Bucket Dad Mitt

    My old Under Armour Catchers Mitt walked off from me the other day. I need a new one that will accommodate short but fat fingers and hands. My pitcher pitches around 63. The Under Armour one wasn't protecting my hand too well but that may have been just to my inability to catching in the...

    What glove would you get for a pitcher?

    I am going against the grain but I am not sure a lifetime glove is the best glove for a pitcher. The heart of the hide and the A2000 ate stiff and weigh a ton. My DD uses a Akadema AJB74.
