    World Series experiences and tips ...

    Great ideas. Outside of these, any off the field things you did with your team that made the weekend special or different from the other tournaments?

    Strangest thing an Umpire has said to you?

    1. I don't know ... 2. I made a mistake ... 3. I missed it coach, I'm sorry ... All three said last weekend, eventually we had to ask ourselves what he was there for.

    Stuck in the Outfield!

    You're right. In 10s, the IF gets more balls hit to them. If the OF has their feet in concrete, they wont learn anything .. If they do their job, they'll learn.

    New Travel Team

    I think you're down playing this way too much. We started a new team in December, team is set and practices have been going on, but behind the scenes is pretty disorganized. Make sure that work and sick arent excuses for not having jerseys here when you said they'd be, etc. Remember, 11-13...

    Fun indoor practice ideas?

    We like the Star Drill. Competition brings out the best of them. Cut off, relay races are fun too.

    What would you do?

    Your post is from June, but I'm going to reply to it. I 100% agree with this. During rec league play, they allowed coaches to be along fence line on buckets, or in whatever fashion as long as they were not distracting the game. (Walking on field, etc.) During tournament play, they enforced, with...

    Non-Softball - Email from HC

    I'm definitely generalizing, not all are this way. But you and I both know that there are far less good coaches than bad ones.

    Non-Softball - Email from HC

    They all say that's what they'd do. But find out what actually happens and you wouldnt be that surprised. We all know what rec ball should be, but when you have 5 all stars and 7 girls that stink. You have 5 constant players and 7 girls that rotate.

    Affordable equipment.

    Update: We went with the Mizuno Franchise GFN1200F1 Amazon.com: Mizuno Franchise GFN1200F1 12" Fastpitch Womens Utility / Infield Glove (Right-Handed Throw): Sports & Outdoors And as much as I tried to convince myself that we needed the CF5, I went ahead and ordered the Vendetta.

    I/R in the Classroom

    To add to this, I don't think she actually turns the ball to 2nd when pitching - whether right or wrong, I think she leaves it forward. But she was taught to turn it.

    I/R in the Classroom

    I know my DD is NOT being taught to push the ball, she is definitely being taught to roll off the fingers. I/R - I don't know. I feel like she is exploding with her left hip, ball to 2nd, release at the hip, close hip, finish figure four. Obviously, without video, all of that is moot, but I...
