Umps calling strikes above batter's head
I figured it was a fast pitch game, but if they are consistently calling balls above her head as strikes; maybe no one told the Umpires ... LOL ... It is not inconceivable to think that a pitch with any arc and a girl up in the box, while using the front knee and back shoulder as the...- GIMNEPIWO

Umps calling strikes above batter's head
All joking aside, are they calling a slow pitch or fast pitch strike zone ?- GIMNEPIWO

Whats after 18U?
It much be a reginal thing ... Here in Central VA there is not much more than Co-Ed slow pitch for women ... A few years ago I remember a fast pitch league near Bristol Tenn., not sure if that is still is going on ... Any way, in Southern Maine where my DD's live there are Womens Slow Pitch and...- GIMNEPIWO

Newcomer to the game
Get as large a piece of cardboard as you can find (old refrigerator or washer / dryer box *with staples removed) ... Break it down so it's just one large flat piece and lay on the grass somewhere ... Then take an old top sheet off of a bed and lay it flat on top of the cardboard ... 1.) Step...- GIMNEPIWO

So, that would make "leaping" legal ? I doubt it, but who knows ?- GIMNEPIWO

Whats after 18U?
We did the 23U & Womens Division for 3 years I think, maybe 4 ... The competition that was out there was very good ... Mostly college athletes looking to keep sharp over the summer, some who didn't play in college, gals that had already graduated and some young mothers sprinkled in ... One...- GIMNEPIWO

Too many pitchers?
I had a JV team years back that had 3 solid pitchers and they each played other positions ... I set up a rotation and everyone, including parents were happy ... Alternatively; you could let everyone pitch until they go through the line up once (unless they're throwing a no - no ) ... That would...- GIMNEPIWO

10U Coach Giving Take Sign on 3-0 Count
Is THIS the only gripe you have with the coach ? You have gotten and will get differing opinions about this call ... BUT if you want to approach the coach about this and your DD stays in softball for very long you're gonna need to step up your pre game meds .... Just sayin' ...- GIMNEPIWO

Explicit Walk Up Music
Read back ... Dabears17 posted the rule which is still in effect. And yes, the team that I was talking about is / was a perennial powerhouse and their speakers were above and pointed into the visitors dugout. My suggestion is that if you want to stop it, have a copy of the rule handy and speak up.- GIMNEPIWO

Explicit Walk Up Music
Few years back, so I'm going by my memory which is less than perfect ... BUT, I believe it was something like "Walk up music is prohibited and music is only to be broadcast during dead ball periods in between innings"- GIMNEPIWO

Explicit Walk Up Music
The rule I'm talking about was not a NFHS rule, but a VHSL rule ... I don't know of anything in U-trip, ASA, NSA or any other rule set that would specifically disallow walk up music ... However, if it delayed the game I would be looking for a strike on the batter.- GIMNEPIWO

Explicit Walk Up Music
That was not the Umpires experience either when I informed him that walk up music was not allowed in VHSL ... He initially resisted but then asked them to shut it down for the game and he would get clarification ... Which he did and we later discussed that he had no idea ... My AD confirmed it...- GIMNEPIWO

Explicit Walk Up Music
In Virginia (VHSL) high school softball (NFHS), there is no walk up music and no music allowed at all except during the half inning or inning ... I like the rule ... At one school we competed against they had two loud speakers, both facing above the visitors dugout and would blast their walk up...- GIMNEPIWO
