    Fundraising...

    Check into Applebees as well for doing a pancake breakfast. I know they all did them in our area. Sell tickets for whatever you want ( say 7.00 dollars ) your girls serve and help cleanup, along with parent supervisors. They provided eggs, pancakes, juice, and coffee. You keep all of the money...

    Fundraising...

    Here's one we did for the High School season last year FootballMania - a unique fundraiser based on the excitement of football I think we raised about 10,000 or so between football and baseball mania. It's one of the those that seemed too good to be true but actually was true. In brief -...

    Chocolate milk is good for you

    Have to laugh at this one. DD called last night and was telling us of the whole team drinking chocolate milk after morning and afternoon workouts. They love it.

    Softball Swing vs. Baseball Swing - 2

    As an aside for Tom - John Tschida UST, probably one the top 10 coaches in the U.S. or even the world is a very strong proponent of integrating the golf and baseball swing.

    Softball Swing vs. Baseball Swing - 2

    Not to link the two threads but I would like see a few people, namely the ones that chase each from board to board arguing essentially the same points address -

    Roster Question

    Sorry I can't give you Gospel on this but it should be close - If it's ASA once the team she is currently rostered on has been eliminated from championship play, possibly her State tournament, if there are berths to ASA Nationals and her team does not qualify, she would be eligible as a pick up...

    I haven't seen a resident ump here for rule questions but you will find them here .. Softball - The Official Forum Please be respectful if you post. A lot of great information is found here but it is an officials forum.

    What ages/levels advanced pitches

    Ready, Set, Don't Go by Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus is a real tear jerker if you have a daughter heading off to college in six weeks. :)

    What ages/levels advanced pitches

    Sorry, but I usually get a bit skeptical when a young pitcher is able to throw different pitches with the correct spin. Fastball/change, sure. Drop/curve/screw ? I...dunno. Could be I guess. All three of those pitches are potential arm killers when not thrown correctly. By arm killer, I mean...

    pitching warmup

    I think you would find a number of different answers to this question as every pitcher may be unique as to how or what works for them as a warm up. My DD's warm up would go something like - Overhand throwing for as long as she wants. Usually start fairly close and progressively back up a...

    Pitching Drills Help

    Not sure what the issue would be here but this girl sounds like she's done before she's done warming up, if she's able to warm up at all. What is her warm up routine ? Have you talked with her parents ? They must know what's going on with her pain. If they're letting her continue throwing...

    Should I Protest Game?

    Since the game was only going into the 5th at the two hour mark I assume the level of competition is not that high ? If there wasn't anything on the line like a championship, berth, or otherwise what's the point really ? I understand you have what sounds like a legimate issue within your...
