    Travel Ball: Sick of other Parents & the Coach

    Get a chair - get a small cooler - sit in the outfield and shut up. Sorry but the entire post from the way I read it is about you. No wonder he doesn't want to talk to you. Shoot I couldn't finish reading the entire post without thinking about not wanting to talk to you.

    How to transition from 8u rec (Mom coaching) to 8u TB (Mom spectating)

    My best advise would be to let her have fun. Cheer for her when does good and cheer for her when she hustles and cheer for her when she messes up. At that age hate hearing mom and dad scream and yell. On the ride home don't talk about the game, don't talk about mesing up, don't talk about the...

    3B Coverage on a Bunt

    Wonder how many have there catcher spint down 1st base line to cover in 95 degree temp. on every hit?? I don't think this situation comes up on every inning and every game so I don't believe it would hurt a catcher that much but again JMO. I just don't agree with no back up on the bases. Wild...

    3B Coverage on a Bunt

    Lets think --- any outfielder covering a base - bad throw - hmmmm now two runs score on a bunt --- give me outfielders backing up the bases - biggest part on sac bunt or push bunt is communication - and there is no one set way - you have to adjust to the bunt - to the type of runner on first and...

    Softball dads converting their DD to I/R

    Just wondered why coaches don't allow pitchers to warm up?? Or they warm up before game.. play a different position on field for 3-4 innings and hour later they yell at her to hit the circle and she hasn't pitched a ball, thrown a ball since before game started. Just thinking out loud. Gatorgirl...

    slingnit actually the slingshot pitch wasn't or isn't a tactic. I've seen several slingshot pitchers to this day. Have met Coach Joyce several times being at her camps or after games. She coaches at FAU and was at her camp this past December. If you get a chance talk to her. Fantastic... She...
