How Soon Is Too Soon to start planning out a new organization
My DD dropped out of softball after 12U travel. she was never one of the top players, but played well enough. I really feel she fell out of it because attention was mainly given to the top few girls on the team and the rest were ignored to a point where they just sort of idled without getting...- Hustle LI

Lost Confidence

Lost Confidence
My DD has clearly lost confidence in hitting. she seems to take pitches she used to hit (including stike 3s that are right down the middle) and her strikeout rate is at a 3X higher level than it has been in prior season and she is a second year 12u. she is still fielding well, but her offense is...- Hustle LI

Retaining Players and How many Tryouts are too many
Hey all. Just wondering how many tryouts are too many to go to? Or too little? if you are going from young 12u to older 12u how many do not try out anywhere else at all and just stay with current organization? How many new players do teams usually take at an age group? seems like most hjave...- Hustle LI

The level of coaches & umpires
i think this is a hard thing to say because "skill" is subjective. Different organizations are also so different in coach hiring philosophy from being parent volunteers to paid coaches. yet many volunterr parents can getjust as good results as paid coaches do. so i am not sure if i think this...- Hustle LI

Concerned about forced playup 12u v 14u
the funny thing, is she is the youngest on her team and only 1 of 4 kids still eligible for 12 u in 22-23 season. next year she will be one of the few remaining 12us on a team that will be made up of mostly 1st year 12us from the 10u team that will be graduating to them. likely going from a team...- Hustle LI

Concerned about forced playup 12u v 14u
The summer travel rec league we joined only had a handful of 14u teams and 2 12u teams register for league play. Our team is a 12u team. So they merged them and us and the other 12u will be playing the 14u league My girl is one of the few 1st year 12u girls on the team. She is likely 13th best...- Hustle LI

"Don't like the Blue's call?" or "Do you want to be an umpire!?"
there is eventually an end of the expense for clothes, the money will come after. gotta put in to get out. besides, most people do not do this for money as the main motivation. i find, even with the umpires, it is all about the kids and the game.- Hustle LI
