    Pitching instructors are like a box of chocolates...you never know what you are going to get, but Adrienne Chery at Today’s Faces in Buford, GA is very good.

    Update on my DD...redshirting this season

    Thanks for sharing and I wish your DD the best of luck with the tryouts for her new team! Everyone's DD need to be on their best behavior because they never know who is watching!!!

    Speed

    Most pitchers are going to have a natural motion that lends itself to one pitch or another, so that pitch may get a little extra "whip" during follow through.

    I know it’s not a Vinci, but...

    My DD loved her Vinci in HS, but she also likes the A2000 she has now, so there are several good gloves on the market!

    Update on my DD...redshirting this season

    I know my plan is for her to still graduate in 4 years! LOL Not sure what she will do with the 4th year of eligibility.

    I'm Calling BS

    Nothing like hitting 300+ yard bombs and getting your rear kicked by a 70+ year old who can barely hit it 200 yards, but shoots his age...

    Update on my DD...redshirting this season

    Unfortunately a torn labrum will never heal on its own, so surgery was inevitable, it was just a matter of when.

    Please make a point to introduce yourself if you are at any home games this season. We plan to be there for most of them.

    Donated Helmets not School Colors

    Sounds like a good project for a couple of dads and a cooler of adult beverages...if they have access to a compressor and paint sprayer they should be able to get them to an acceptable standard of a single color. Cans of spray paint may work in a pinch. Secret is several light coats vs. one...

    Update on my DD...redshirting this season

    Early last season my DD tore her right hip labrum. She got through the season with a Cortizone shot and a lot of PT, but this year the pain was not getting better, so the decision was made in December for my DD to have surgery. Surgery went just as expected, and DD will be on crutches for 4-6...

    Winter break

    We liked to shut down any softball (pitching and hitting) activities between Thanksgiving and New Years, but DD would continue to do core strengthening and conditioning over the Holidays, although not as frequently.

    Sunglasses recommendations

    In my experience, buying expensive sunglasses for softball was not a good idea. The $10-15 ones at Walmart work just as well and you are less likely to have a coronary when they are lying on the ground in the dugout lenses down...

    Parent Coaches

    Running a TB team is a HUGE commitment and the number of people willing to do that without a child on the team is limited. While everyone wants to avoid "daddy ball", coaches who offer private lessons and give preferential treatment to their student play "daddy ball" too...
