    POLL~ about QUITING during the...

    I voted no. I would have my DD leave any situation immediately that was putting her in harm's way above the risks assumed in the activity. I do not view this as quitting. We enter into a social, and sometimes financial contract with coaches, athletic directors, teams or associations. If they...

    What glove would you get for a pitcher?

    Taking a page out of @ANNASDAD's book I would say any Rawlings DCT pattern for first base. I think this is the first base pattern to end all discussions. I always suggest the smallest possible glove for pitching. My DD is U13 and uses an A2K D33 custom.

    Deciding between 3 gloves

    My DD gamed the A2000 FP75SS from U11 (Canada) and loves this glove. Getting the glove game ready took a bit of sweat but it was worth the effort. The glove is light and durable and eats balls. She plays SS when she is not in the circle and I think the single post 3X web is a perfect design...

    Small hand glove help.

    My 12 year DD plays SS and previously used a Wilson A2000 FP75SS. She really like the gloved. She tried on the new Wilson A2K 1723SS which is the new ASO lab creation and fell in love with the fit. She thought it was a much better fit for her hand. During the break in process I have noticed...

    Starting Travel Ball (bat recommendations)

    My daughter used a Meta last year (first year U13) and loved the bat. She was looking for a bit more oomph and the drop 10 was a bit more end-loaded than her drop 11 Demarini. We had no durability issues. Bat had a ton of pop right out of the wrapper. Our team bat this year will be the new...

    thoughts on this drill

    I coach U13 ball in the Great North. I would never teach this in a million years. Looks like a Canadian punter trying for a rouge in the CFL.

    My Kid!

    Feel good story about the other lessons that sport teaches; hard work, perseverance, and handling challenges. Congratulations on your DD success but also congrats to you for instilling the values of friendship and family. Doing things the right way seems to be lost on today's society so well...

    Starting Travel Ball (bat recommendations)

    My DD at that age used a 30 drop 11 Demarini CF Zen. I highly suggest any Demarini for that age as they swing light to balanced, are durable and have good pop. You may be able to find a used bat in good shape. If you have a disregard for money new CF series are great. You will also be able...

    First time 12u Dad from WA

    Hello Pvandatta, I have used this forum for a lot of the questions I have had over the years. I was a long-time lurker but I post the odd question or comment. Let the search function be your friend and jump in if you have any input. None of us is as smart as all of us. Your friendly Canadian.

    Used bats???

    We bought our daughter a new CF Zen 30 drop 11 second year of 8U. Good balance and durability. We used that bat to teach her the value of respecting her equipment. Used for 3 years between U8 and U10. After consigning the bat against our next bat purchase it was $50 a year. Unfortunately...
