    wearing soccer cleats for softball?

    Soccer cleats do not have the front tip spike as do the base/softball cleats which is needed for that push off when running. It is a safety issue in soccer when using base/softball cleats.

    Roller Duffel Equipment Bags or Backpack Bat and Equipment Bag?

    Maxballbags.com have a sale right now on backpacks. We are switching to those this coming year. They also have seperate storage shelves in them. They do great team package deals. We used there roller bags for 3 years and my daughters bag is still good to use with a few tears.
