    How to get more games

    They got in 10 games before the season shut down, and she played in 6. Given the schedule, if she had played in the rest of the season and at least through regionals in post, we are talking about 25 games total. That isn’t a lot for a kid that easily played 22-25 HS games then moved into summer...

    Yep! Flying out on Friday as well!

    Transferring schools

    Yes, she loves New England, so being 3000 miles from home is not a factor. Being closer to Boston might be good, because she feels so isolated. Right now I am just encouraging her to focus on her academics and kick butt on the field as they head to the Spring Games this coming week. I have...

    Transferring schools

    Hence my questions.... she has some searching to do, and maybe we can go look at a few when I fly out to pick her up and bring her back home in May. I guess the softball question can’t really be addressed unless she talks with current players at those schools.

    She is at UMass - Dartmouth.

    Transferring schools

    Well, we didn’t think so. But the school is in south MA and most of the students are from within 100 mi of campus and most go home on the weekends if they aren’t already a commuter. DD was pretty disappointed that the team has pretty much done nothing, off season or in season as far as...

    Transferring schools

    DD is a freshmen at an east coast public D3. She loves the coaches and is getting a ton of playing time, but the social and academic side is leaving her with doubts about the school. Apparently even with enrollment over 6K, “everyone” goes home on weekends, and the D3 program just doesn’t do...

    How to get more games

    Thanks everyone. Glad to hear there are some opportunities and interest. DD attends college in southern MA, but will return home to WA this summer, and there is nothing available for summers out here.

    How to get more games

    Slow pitch, rec leagues. Maybe after college softball is done, but not what she was hoping for to keep sharp.

    How to get more games

    DD just realized that since she is now in college, there will be no more summer ball. She has aged-out, and 19U isn’t a thing in the NW. So, is that really it? Just college games in the spring (plays DIII)? We are wishing there were college summer leagues like they have for baseball! 😕

    What happened to ASA/USA Gold Nationals?

    Good question. I know a few from our area that are in Premiere went 0-2 in bracket, but last year finished well.

    The Last Summer tourney

    Congrats on finishing strong when it looked like it might have ended differently! The end on my DD’s final travel ball journey may be today or tomorrow, and we have been trying to soak in every last moment. But the real prize will be years of memories that she will take with her as she also...

    What happened to ASA/USA Gold Nationals?

    I appreciate this comment... about to start Day 5 in 18U Platinum, and some of the teams here have me scratching my head on how they are here at all. Seems a little watered down to me, and maybe they should just go to Premiere only, or with a much smaller Platinum field for the opportunity to...
