    Is it safe to be having national tournaments right now?

    Of course it's not safe!!! Not too mention that the selfishness and recklessness of coaches gambling with kids has eliminated sports for the teams that follow the rules. Case in point - NM.

    TB as a farm system for HS Ball?

    Playing for your hs and with classmates is a big deal! During the past decade, travel ball has watered down local rec teams and forced hs softball to ride shotgun. Just speaking for myself, I think this is very unfortunate because at this rate the sport won't continue growing. As it stands...

    playing for money?

    NFA (National Fastpitch Alliance) has some "payout" tournaments. http://www.my-nfa.com/home.php

    Registering as a C Team

    In New Mexico, some rec leagues are Utrip and also travel and play tournaments after their rec season. In Farmington, they are all classified "C" because they play in that league. Doesn't mean they can't win games or tournaments against A n B teams. They do. And out here, an A team just means...

    NCAA softball is toast!

    I'm just throwing shade at another SEC school, just because. Replace MS State with any other school. 😎🥎

    The understandably frustrated lawmakers, the desperate working class, and the companies/ businesses not interested in losing everything they worked for. To survive right now, we need our economy back. But no matter what WE the people want, this virus will decide. All the death rate stats and...

    You're right, death is death, but hearing a first hand description on how these people suffer has thrown me a bit. My wife is as tough as they come but even she is having a hard time dealing. 20 years of ER and ICU experience did little to prepare her for what she is seeing. Someone needs to...

    The Almighty Florida Gator program can do what it wants!! Chomp chomp 🙂 Look, if a sport can't put asses in seats going forward, good chance they're getting cut. The trickle down will reduce or eliminate the other revenue Olympic sports (politically correct for non revenue sports like softball)...

    Not a troll, at all. I'm a softball Dad/Coach that's invested 6 years into this amazing game. I can't even watch baseball anymore after discovering Fastpitch. But look, this is going to be our reality. The money is (soon will be) gone and cuts are coming across the board. I wish this wasn't the...

    Name one. Not Florida, Oklahoma, UCLA, Oregon or Bama. Regular season softball attendance consists of parents and the occasional youth team.

    My wife flew to NYC three days ago to work Covid cases. Last night, 63 people died, horrible deaths, grasping for air on her shift. The experience has been overwhelming so far and I hope she comes home the way she left. The news and the politicians have agendas, which I get, people need to eat...

    Conference revenue sharing from those teams. D2 and 3 stands no chance.
