    Travel Ball Parent Confessions

    I can't believe the other coach held the bigger not very fast girl at first on the walk. She absolutley should have been running to first not broke stride and continued on to second. Now he has 1 out and 2 girls in scoring position. If you are not going to throw to second during the whole game...

    Infield Face Masks and College

    My DD started wearing a mask about 2 years ago. She had braces on and was playing third base. During pre game warmup the coach hit one to her and it took a bad hop and caught her in the side of her face. She gathered up the ball, threw to first and then came the blood and tears. The coach who...

    Leadership

    My DD is a leader both on and off the field. When she was in sixth grade she was awarded the Susan G. Morley Physical Education Student Leadership Award. It is a local award that is handed out at a local college. After recieving the award she was asked to give a short speech on the award and...

    HS Sports vs. Travel Softball

    My DD just started 7th grade. We are a small school, K-6 in one building 7-12 in another. She plays TB Softball and wanted to go out for the soccer team. The coach really wanted her to play soccer. I was very up front with him and told him, I am paying for softball and really could give two...

    Need help on what to do ??

    I would have my DD tell the truth. Should have told the coach as soon as you found out, no player makes every game. She is going to have to deal with people being dissapointed all through her life, might as well get used to it now. You are not put on this earth to make people happy.

    Dragging Field

    I am in charge of 2 high school fields and 3 softball fields and here is what I found works the best for me. I first remove the bases and drag around home and up and down the base paths first, making a couple passes. Then I start at the pitching rubber and make circles. Just keep going in...

    When does/did your DD wear a Defensive Face Mask?

    My daughter started wearing one after she got braces. One day at practice, coach hit a sharp one that takes a bad hop and catches her in the side of the mouth. She was playing 3rd. He starts to run to her to see if she is OK. She gathered up the ball and threw to first like she was supposed too...

    My bad reaction, gets worse reaction

    I think you were wrong both times. When they are in the fence its best if you keep your mouth shut. You made it way worse by taking your daughters off the field. Then you interupt his game. What do you think everyone thinks about you and your daughters now? They don't come to your house and tell...

    Problem Player, Did I handle it right?

    You did the right thing. Had a similar experience this year with an All Star team. 2 girls had terrible attitudes. The first practice we are just warming up. I say out loud who are we waiting for? I then say out loud 2 girls who haven't arrived yet.One of the bad attitudes says, " I don't like...

    Closing ceremonies

    You should always write that stuff down. Just like the waitress that doesn't use a pad, it never goes right 100% of the time, they always screw something up!
