Why D1 ?
** yes, most D1’s have a lot of majors, but it doesn’t necessarily mean they are the best school for a specific major.** This was 100% my D3 Daughters case. The D1 schools she considered were not able to support her field of study (Butler, Dayton, etc etc). Additionally her current school in...- DKOfTFC

Why D1 ?
I have kids at all levels, and you are 100% spot on here (Travel). The D3 player doesn't have a cakewalk when it comes to her program. And aside from the travel, as much as you hear that if you go play for a D1 program "they own you" - again, its not a cakewalk at this D3. Her fall schedule...- DKOfTFC

Why D1 ?
Why would the Division Level even matter then if you were 'financially sound' enough , no need for aid? I'm not saying that there were any mistakes made on your daughter's decision, because I wouldnt know that. But it seems like you may be insuating that if an athlete goes to a Div 2 or Div 3...- DKOfTFC

2024 Spring Break - Best place/most cost effective place to take my high school softball team
I would consider looking into Myrtle Beach for the 'Bang for the Buck'. They will work with you to with your schedule as it relates to 'skill level'. This is held at the Cal Ripken Experience, which is a great facility. We've taken our teams the last few years, and it's been a great...- DKOfTFC

JV - path to Varsity or dead end?
Should NOT be the case - especially for DEEP programs. JV should follow other sports progams, where the JV teams are really focused on developmental and the goal to push them up into Varsity. That being said, there are always going to be cases where some girls come in to just find a sport to...- DKOfTFC

2020 Easton Ghost
My daughter 16U (young 15 years) - just got her new Easton Ghost 33/23. She said that that her bat feels a bit heavier than her DeMarini CF10. But, it took of all 7 at bats for her to go yard and hit her first homerun with the bat. The game prior she hit the wall and ended with a triple. She...- DKOfTFC

Qualifier Win (Fall) - Fighting big time knee injury....
My DDs team won a Nationals Qualifier this past weekend , their first on the year. So neat to get one knocked down so early on the full travel season. My DD earlier in the day banged her knee a couple of times. First, on a steal attempt, her C threw a pea shot down to her cover, and she...- DKOfTFC

Made varsity in her 2nd sport
Awesome - tell your daughter to keep doing her thing. Lots to be proud of. HS Athletics (depending on the Coach) is when you see 'grow up time' being utilized. It becomes focused more so on competing, being the best you can be, working to be better yet, and ultimately being a good teammate...- DKOfTFC

academics
Awesome news! I admire her for her mature / adult decisions, especially as a young woman. I don't know what my daughter will do, she's just a Freshman now at a Private College Prep HS. She will have big decisions too. IF she stays with Softball, I don't know if she's quite yet Div I...- DKOfTFC

Season highlight video - pitching and hitting
Liked a lot of what I saw on this video. I'm glad she's done throwing the bat (just sayin') One pitch just caught my eye, because I love 'SICK' pitches, somewhere at 35 seconds, a girl #22 fans and misses at her change. I get that this happens a lot, but the sell on her change is awesome, and...- DKOfTFC

Homerun Derby
Like the finish through on that swing. Perfect on the split of the ball, on that bat angle. Awesome - so fun to watch your own kid tear it up. Proud moments, and it's always a result of the hard work they put into this great game !- DKOfTFC

Wrist roll- what to do?
Firstly, if somebody thinks that a softball / baseball swing mechanic is cut and paste - that's far from the truth. The OP was looking for ideas that keep a girl from rolling over the wrists early. I see a lot of folks sharing ideas, which is awesome. Because what might work for one 'girl' -...- DKOfTFC
