    Cutting kids

    As a coach, there is only one thing you can guarantee, that's that you'll put the best players on the field that earn their positions week in and week out. No one has a set position, they earn it week to week in practice, tournament to tournament. What a Player "likes" to play may not be what...

    Big Fish in Small Pound or Small Fish in Big Pound?

    One thing that I believe to be extremely important is to identify what your DD wants before selecting a team, not what you want as a parent. Once identified, guide her toward reaching her goals. Questions need to be asked at/around 14 so goals can be set , in place, and working toward them by...

    Tourney Down Time

    Time & Money Great suggestions. A couple things we used to do, as we were in the same money boat, was to have someone bring a DVD player or portable DVD Player and watch "inspiriational movies" as a team. Generally, the girls brought movies like "A League Of Their Own" etc.. Of course, this...

    Parents!!!!!!!

    Pitchin, I agree with Amy on all points, and what a coach to take it out on a child. The league definitely needs to know about this person, so he doesn't coach again or not in the head coach capacity. Having been a head coach and been in that scenario, I usually tell my parents in the...

    Rules understanding/clarification

    Since the league is amending the ASA rule, it seems they can amend again for this scenario. It's simple, you bypass the injured player's position in the lineup without penalty, especially when you have enough players to continue.

    Cheering???

    No Cheering, wouldn't think of it. Matter of fact, I encourage it. Yes, it can be a little crazy at times, but I see a difference in focus and performance when they don't. Has anyone seen that email that's been floating around that depicts the female brain in comparison to the male brain...

    Welcome to Being a Softball Parent

    Amen !! My wife has been on a break for the past 6yrs for the same reasons !! The girls we coached together thought it awesome to have a female on the field to look up to. Sad that the parents didn't feel the same way and drove a female role model away from the game. I miss her as well, I...

    If she's in the Southeast (Florida and Georgia), she can go to Pitch2Fast - Florida Boys Baseball Girls Fastpitch Softball Forums. Teams post for recruiting of players and they list tryout information.

    ACL injuries foe Girls

    Glen, Yes, unfortunately. My DD tore hers at the end of 2006. She's still not 100% but getting there. Long process to recovery. We've had some posts on this in the Softball Discussions thread under Conditioning Exercises to Prevent Knee Injuries.

    being stabbed in the back

    Allie, Your situation strikes home with me as something very similar happened to me as a young adult. I was a football player. I stood at a gigantic 5'9" and a whopping 175lbs, not the build of the perfect football player. My Rec Football coaches, my Dad, My High School Coaches, said I would...

    Independent pitcher?

    Psychology Fivepots, Ah, 11's and 12's, I loved to coach that age, they can be such sponges. Sounds as if she learned a lesson, hopefully the lesson was do what you do best, with the guidance of her coaching staff, and to trust her team mates to make the plays. I don't claim to be the best...

    Uniforms...

    Ang, Sounds good. The company we deal with for our local league is great. It's a husband and wife team. She's the artistic one and he's the labor !! So, if you need a logo designed she's the one. Anyway, good luck. Coach Jim Krusherz18U
