Politics in College Ball
A lot of things can factor into these AC teams, but a few things. First, you need to compare apples to apples. In a cursory look at the conference leaders and the awards, the first example you gave as a less than deserving award winner was in a utility spot. You'd expect the lower at bats, as...- ceas04

Anyone still playing? Got shut down again here in So Cal
Everything here in Massachusetts is still going on, but the landscape has changed. Tournaments, as we know them, are not allowed; so they the augmented club tournaments. USA softball did a club league. The state doesn't allow you to play more than one team in the same day, so DD's team is...- ceas04

If High School ball is cancelled. Then those girls can now play Travel?
I had no idea that some states blocked players from doing both. My daughter is 13 and in 8th grade, but the rest of her club travel team is in HS and more than 1/2 play varsity. I have a lot of friends with older (some already on to college) that have had issues over the years where they overlap.- ceas04

My daughter is dreading high school ball approaching
Agreed. The director of my 2025 DD's travel team is a college HC. I was listening to her talking to one of the U16 parents about transferring schools because the team is poorly run and isn't good. She said not to bother because she'll get the exposure in travel and camps and that a coach...- ceas04

What makes you lose your mind?
Most of the things that drive me crazy, in gereral, have already been mentioned. For my daughter - especially in rec ball - it drives my insane when she walks girls that can't hit because she's trying to hit spots with different pitches. I get that she's trying to work on pitches but some...- ceas04

2020 USSSA Updates (Online revisions)
Has the previous rule with both feet having mound contact always been a thing, or was it changed. at any point. DD seems like she will benefit from the start back but is there a chance (i.e. likely) that they will revert back to the two points of contact rule? Just looking for opinions from...- ceas04

What is the goal to all of this?
"I’m probably naive when it comes to how kids get noticed by college recruits. But, if a kid is good enough, like I was (due to hard work on my own time, not travel ball) why is it necessary to start kids at 6/7 years old, playing competitive travel ball? Yeah, the competition is greater, but on...- ceas04

Crow hopping
My DD has only played club for a short time, but the only few times I've seen an crow-hop called was when the there was when the drive foot left the ground. Interesting video that I found when I was watching Gabbie Plain from Washington. DD's pitching coach has her keeping the glove and ball...- ceas04

Pitching toe guard for turf shoes?
My DD has pair of NB turf shoes that I picked up and she loves them, but there isn't a guard for toe drag when she's pitching. I see a few products but they look like they'd only be effective for cleats. Her cleats have a protector, so she's all set there. Any suggestions?- ceas04
