    Bunting Question

    1) The batter lays down a bunt 2) When she throws the bat down she throws it down in front of the box and the ball. 3) The bat and ball hit each other and it sends the ball off in another direction in fair play. What is the call? The Blue called her safe because the batter didn't throw the bat...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    I am not pushing her. She is pushing me. I would be perfectly fine with it if she wanted to quit softball as I know she will someday, but right now we both have tons of fun playing the game. Our softball journey has been mostly laughs and high-fives with very few tears and ZERO scoldings. We...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    Doh, by "talk to the coach" I was thinking of asking him if he wouldn't mind if we missed a few practices to pick up with other teams and try and get more innings. I'm not sure why wanting more softball innings is ruffling so many feathers. So far we have been rejecting pickup offers in favor...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    I don't have a concern anymore. Comments on this thread make sense. My overall concern is developing my kid as a player and making sure it's fun for her. She HATES sitting on the bench. When we decided to switch teams last season(she was playing up on a higher level team) my goal was to find a...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    Ha, not being punked at all. And to be fair the team isn't exactly lighting the world on fire on Sunday. We play far more pool games then Bracket games. This means that DD can end up getting less total innings on the field than the other players. I'm only a few seasons into the travel ball...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    We play C/B tournaments and a few open. I have read that as pitchers get older pitching becomes their one and only position. We were in that situation on our team last year. Which was one reason for the team switch. We decided to play down to get more field time. DD really enjoys playing all...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    12U Also, she is still batting #1 or #2 during those pool games where she is sitting during defense. I guess this is pretty standard and is best for the team. Still feels like DD is getting punished for putting in extra work. She doesn't need the extra development because she does it in her...

    How much bench time should I expect?

    My daughter is a top player on her team. She is a bracket pitcher/Utility player, top of the order, hard worker. She is probably one the best on the field at any position. First to get to practice. Last to leave. She has a great attitude listens to the coach and asks me to work on the things the...
