    How many games/ at-bats has your DD had this year?

    She has a great understanding of her strike zone. During TB she only struck out 6 times at 14A in spring and 2 times this fall in 16s. HS ball was a different story she had probally twice as many Ks but to her defense she had never seen a 65mph rise ball. Darn those future D1 pitchers.

    To go or not to go, that is the question....

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with going to watch your child play in a sporting event. On the typical trip my daughter has been on in HS its 4 players to a room and the coach has decided who stays with who. On these trips my dd has never been alone with a coach. Now these rooms are mostly...

    To go or not to go, that is the question....

    My daughter was a freshman on varsity last season. During spring break her HS team went to a 2 day tournament a couple hundred miles away from home. My wife and I went also but stayed at a seperate hotel. About 80% of the the other varsity parents went also. It was a great time to get to know...

    Shake things up?

    If you want to remain competitive during the games don't do "radical" changes. I would advise only switching 2 or at the max 3 players per game. Having regulars in other posistions will help those players trying as new posistion out.

    Evaluating 8U players for travel ball

    What do you look for in a 8u player? GOOD PARENTS. This is the key. Parents can make or break a team. I have seen stud girls at the 8u/10u level never get any better and girls who couldn't throw the ball across the diamond become A level catchers. Good kids and good parents are the key.

    A little help with understanding how Big Tournaments work

    Cecelia if you live in Oregon all you have to do is play in the State Championship Tourney and you qualify.

    Suspended from next entire tournament for discipline. Too much?

    I believe at the 12u level this amount of discipline is excessive. As a AC on a 14u TB team I would have no problem talking HC about this punishment BUT the thing is our HC would have consulted the staff before making this big of a decision. After the fact all you can do is support the call.

    Hit or error?

    Its the official scorers book from mlb. I figured it would be the same but I will look to see if I can find a difference in softball. Link Official Rules | MLB.com: Official info

    Is your daughter overrated or underrated?

    I love it when you can hear opposing coaches make dumb defensive calls to the defense. A couple of tournaments the opposing coach yells to his defense "she's a pull hitter" and shifts his outfield to the left. My RH dd gets up and laces a triple to right. The main thing my dd does well is use...

    Hit or error?

    Error. Official definition "If a throw is low, wide or high, or strikes the ground, and a runner reaches base who otherwise would have been put out by such throw, the official scorer shall charge the player making the throw with an error."

    Umpires giving verbal warnings to players

    I was wondering who sanctioned this tournament? I have never heard of rules stating you cant have a pitch break inside on a batter or that a catcher is setting up to far inside. The only rule I know is that a catcher must be in athe catchers box until the ball is thrown.
