What makes a good softball parent?
Occasionally come across a few parents who like a little more than the rest. Not necessarily out of control, just not exactly setting great example for the kids either. Hard to impress on kids why they cant drink, shouldnt drink, how bad alcohol is, etc. when a few parents get liquored up in...- mudbug

2008 Easton Synergy Question
Never heard of issues, many ultralight bats less than -10 dont perform that well though. Used to see a bunch of them in 31/32 at 12-13 yrs old. Dont see many anymore, but still do see a lot of the -10 SCN8B.- mudbug

Less Travel teams?
Most teams play everything, and register in 3 or 4 organizations, or more. Good teams want to play other good teams, and good teams are not that common. Most teams in a given for profit tournament are mediocre, even at national level. A lot of the best teams in the country are old...- mudbug

14U pregnant player
It is clear why she got pregnant. She is obviously stupid as hell, and so are her parents. Excercise is not a problem as long as a woman can do it, but risking violent collisions, etc that can occur in active sports participation is foolish. Ive seen plenty of non-pregnant girls and boys...- mudbug

Ok, i need help once again
You passed the first test. The right answer is you are doing it for the girls because they have no better options. The second test is "do you know what you are doing?" Just noticed you had the other post on the bad politics. Looks like you walked. Average ability girls will kick A if...- mudbug

Pick up Player Politics
All too normal for some teams. Unheard of with others. Doesnt sound like select ball. Sounds like daddy-ball tournament team. If he didnt throw your DD at all that sends a message that his words dont. At that age if you want to win consistently , you must have an overpowering pitcher. The...- mudbug

14U pregnant player
Not necessarily, but may depend on age. If you did that at 18 you wouldnt have many players left. A coach selects players based on how they fit into his/her team and his standards, morals, etc. The same is true for schools, etc. He can get rid of them for any reason he wants, anything that...- mudbug

Pics of your team carts/trailers
Dont get me started on the ridiculous HS teams that play 15 sec of very loud, distorted, annoying music whenever they have a chance..... It seems so ridiculous too with 20 people in the stands.- mudbug
