    IBM presents...You Make the Call!

    Maybe the umpire thought she missed the bag? That is the only logical explanation for such a horrid call. She clearly steps on the base.

    Wilson Promotion Gear, did they stop making it?

    Hopefully LS uses Wilson R&D for their next set of catchers gear. The current stuff blows!

    Seemingly intentional drop

    We're talking about a pop up to the pitcher in 18u. This was not good aggressive baserunning. This was not knowing the rules.

    Follow up with coach after injury

    IMO the player and parents should say nothing about the rolled ankle to the college coach. If your dd had a hard time running it was probably obvious. Does the college coach talk to the TB coach? If so it was probably brought up in their conversation if the college coach asked what was wrong...

    NLI Signing

    Our HS recognized that and this was the photo that ended up in the paper:

    DD is ok

    For Jane 225 days under grass and you know more than I. They have long taken your blood, you are a dry stick in a basket. Is this how it works? In this room the hours of love still make shadows. When you left you took almost everything. I kneel in the nights before tigers that will not let me...

    What should I use for DDs glove....

    My suggestion is: Clean glove of all dirt with a slightly damp cloth and let fully dry. Apply pure lanolin very sparingly (a little goes a long way) to entire glove and let sit for 24 hours. Buff the glove with a clean, dry cloth, and place a softball in the pocket of the glove and a...

    Hitting Leagues in southwestern Ohio?

    I don't know of any hitting leagues in SWO. There might be an indoor league at SWOBAT in West Chester.

    Does this make sense?

    Yeah, it makes sense. It's really not that odd of a situation. There's many reasons to redshirt a student athlete: Not medically ready, not academically ready, not transitionally ready, not physically ready, the team is too deep in talent, etc. The redshirt allows the athlete to practice and...

    NLI Signing

    The signing event at the school is nothing more than a photo-op. Just have your dd put her signature at the bottom of a blank piece of paper.

    Should she take a chance?

    My dd is in her sophomore year at a 4 year school and is on track to obtain her BS in Respiratory Care. Solastminute is the person that posed the question and concerns, not me.

    Should she take a chance?

    Pure and simply: Does the school meet your academic goals? For instance, let's say a young lady wants to be an engineer. Should she go to a school offering a full athletic scholly that is a pure liberal arts school with no engineering program, just for the sake of playing softball? Should a...

    Should she take a chance?

    By no means was my post meant to be snarky. I was vague and I apologize for that. Chinamigarden is correct. I was saying to make academics the main consideration when picking schools. Like I told my dd when I was in your shoes, you have softball for potentially 4 years while in college but...

    Should she take a chance?

    Personally, I would worry about her education.

    How Important is Good Blocking Catcher?

    People don't realize how important a good blocking catcher is......until they have one on their team and can see for themselves how many runs are saved.
