    Looking for best end loaded or bat with some weight for 14 yr old

    I will agree that the new Fs/FX eastons seemed to be "toned down" to say the least. I had high hopes for the new eastons when they came out but was disappointed in them. We have had an Anderson Rocktech a few yrs ago & may end up going back to it. I'd like to try out the cf6 insane before I make...

    Looking for best end loaded or bat with some weight for 14 yr old

    My DD is 14 & plays travel & school ball. Right now she is using one of the older black & purple stealths. She's done pretty well with it but its getting pretty worn. We've tried the newer black & yellow easton stealth but didn't like it as well as the original white & purple ones. I saw a used...

    most durable catchers bag (doesn't matter the cost)

    I have a 14 yrs old that plays middle school ball & travel ball year round and there is no telling how many bags I've been through with her. Either the bottom rips out or the wheels break or the stitching comes apart. I'm going through bags every few months. I searched "best catchers equipment...

    What are your unwritten rules?

    I get what you're saying. We've never done the restroom thing but playing travel ball now for 5 years a lot of the parents, no matter what team we've played with, believe our chairs have to be in the same order no matter if we have to move to another field or not. Some believe it to the point of...

    Heater in the Dugout ... Yeah or Nay ?

    That's why I like this site. I learn something new everytime I get on here. I had heard recently that it wasn't really that the bat that mattered if it was cold it was the ball because the ball then becomes harder because it's colder. But yes we just bought daughter a brand new Easton fs1 or...

    TV schedule. Game in a few minutes.

    Sorry to offend any Auburn fans but that was terrible. I just turned on the last few min of it. My husband said Auburns team was mainly freshman? IDK but even their throwing just seemed to be terrible. They said that game broke Alabama's record of runs scored in an inning from last record was 9...

    Heater in the Dugout ... Yeah or Nay ?

    We had heard of another school in our county where they had a heater in the dugout when it was super cold outside (that was actually a day that our school had cancelled our game because we felt it was just too cold and calling for snow) and the girls had their bats over near the heater trying to...

    playing for a travel team while you are playing under TSSAA rules in Middle School?

    Yes the player that was even thinking about it was stopped dead in her tracks. I just don't get why the coach of the travel team would even think about playing in a tournament and even ask all these players from other teams knowing full well that it would jeopardize everything the other girls...

    playing for a travel team while you are playing under TSSAA rules in Middle School?

    Ok I think I see what you are saying now. So since you are from my area do you know anywhere that keeps stats on Middle School teams? I know they have that site coacht.com that tells the wins/losses on all the high school sports but I was wondering if you knew of any where that tells those stats?

    playing for a travel team while you are playing under TSSAA rules in Middle School?

    Ok I'm confused on the 50% rule? What you are saying is that the whole team couldn't travel together but what if a few here and a few there traveled together as long as it wasn't 50% of the team together? Is that legal?

    DD hit in the face.

    I sure didn't know that she was opposed to wearing the mask. I'm not opposed to it at all but my daughter is. She is very tomboy and most of her friends are boys and she says well baseball players don't wear facemasks. I said yes and baseball players are almost 20 ft back further than you are...

    DD hit in the face.

    My daughter is playing 3rd for the first time in her life playing in Middle School. She's 13 and has never worn a mask cause she's mainly played 2nd base or been a catcher. Their coach wants her right up on the batter and she does not feel comfortable being that close. The other girl that...

    Daughter taken out in middle of inning?

    Yes there were like maybe 5 cut from the team and yes I can only imagine what it's like trying to keep that many parents happy. My husband coaches my youngest daughters league team and has for years so I know how hard it is. And yes I am very blessed and thankful that she had started and played...

    Daughter taken out in middle of inning?

    Well I don't know if you are a jerk or not but it think some of it is that the head coach doesn't like me. And that's fine. I dated her nephew in high school when I was 16 years old and when we were dating she was soo nice to me and then we broke up and she's never spoke to me again. I WAS 16...

    Daughter taken out in middle of inning?

    Yes I agree with you and told my daughter that she needs to listen to head coach. She is of course 13 and knows absolutely everything there is so trying to reason with her is like trying to reason with a brick wall sometimes. She's seeing it as this girl, assistant coach, (not long our of...
