    Sex offenders in youth sports

    I think it's horrible that the old club kicked out the daughter because of what her father did. I hope that you are not considering doing the same. Ban him from coaching and having contact with the kids if you want but don't take it out on the daughter.

    Anyone build a practice mound for their DD pitcher?

    Just curious. Is your space bar broken?

    So I ask...is it really worth it to pay more for college softball graduates?

    That's funny. ;)

    Your advice/suggestions would be appreciated!

    I actually read that whole thing. You seem WAY too involved for someone who isn't a coach on the team.

    Family Quitting a Team – 12U Rec.

    I really don't think you can blame reality television for the way people behave. There were plenty of idiots around before reality TV. Things aren't worse then when we were growing up. They're just different, and in many ways they're much better.

    Can't I just be a fan of the game???

    I was coaching summer all stars a few years back and my daughter was pitching. It was a pitcher's duel for the first few innings but then we had a defensive breakdown and lost something like 6-0. After the traditional handshake, the opposing coach pulled my daughter aside and handed her a game...

    Prayer circles after games

    If a team in the Bible Belt was invited into a prayer circle and then the person leading the prayer started praying to Allah, I bet a LOT of people would get offended.

    DD showed me this last night.

    What makes for a highly successful prayer circle? No brawls? What would you expect? My kids have been through thousands of handshake lines at the end of games and I have yet to see a fight break out so I guess these have been highly successful as well. And I agree with Sparky. My guess is a...

    Nothings ever good enough approach...

    Grandpa was wrong. This is a 10 year old! She had an amazing pitching performance. I think it is probably OK to discuss the walks sometime in the conversation but it should not be the first words out of his mouth. That's my 2 cents.

    DD showed me this last night.

    Ugh, do we really need prayer circles at the end of youth softball games? I think a polite handshake is sufficient.

    How to help an ambidextrous pitcher.

    Greg Harris, a former Red Sox pitcher, could pitch from either side, although the Red Sox only allowed him to pitch right handed. He had a special glove that allowed him to wear it on either hand.
