    Bat recommendation 10u 70 lbs 53 inches tall

    Another vote for cf5/6/7. A close second would be Demarini Vendetta if she needs something lighter (less money too).

    Big Travel Ball Orgs - Watered Down Talent

    There is a large organization here in Socal who is expanding to the point there are new teams added damn near every week. They are getting to the point where their reputation isn't respected anymore. We played one of their teams in a friendly a few weeks ago. The score was close enough they...

    12u playing in 10u friendly tournament?

    No the girl threw really hard and was pretty consistent. We already had a lead and a few still hit her.

    12u playing in 10u friendly tournament?

    No they were actual 12u players and not eligible. If they would have told us before I probably would have still played, but wouldn't have let them pitch one of their older girls. Either way, I think they should have let us know. There is a big size and strength difference between those ages. One...

    12u playing in 10u friendly tournament?

    We hosted a friendly tournament yesterday for 10u teams. One team had five girls who were noticeably bigger and stronger than any other 10u players we have faced. These girls all had different jerseys from the same travel organization. One of the girls admitted to being 12u to our 1b coach, but...

    Best seams for pitching

    Dream seams are good, as are Thunder Advances. I bought some Champros and they are really nice too.

    15 on a roster?

    Yeah they are all 4-5 day tournaments. Usually pool play Thursday/Friday and brackets Saturday into Sunday morning. Championship is Sunday afternoon. Some have even started Wednesday or have Championship on Monday night.

    15 on a roster?

    Yeah and I'm sure some have vacations planned. Looks like one dropped on her own to go to the B team already. 4 pitchers and two catchers are gonna be needed. The core group is was committed. We will see how it goes. Hard playing in 110 degree heat also, so maybe he figures he will keep some of...

    15 on a roster?

    I agree on the crazy parents part. I have seen people lose their mind because their kid made an error that was scored as an error. That's what they do at this age. As far as travel, some of these girls play that also. Our team from past two years can hand a few of these travel teams around here...

    B team doesn't have enough for a team at this point. They have about 6 from what I heard. I am just gonna stick to my role as a coach and hope these girls have a good summer. If nothing else they will have fun playing softball with their friends and that's what it's about anyways.

    15 on a roster?

    In the end, if he doesn't want input then that's his choice. Just looking for some shared experience.

    15 on a roster?

    I was asking for opinions and input. I have never had a team with 15 and some here have. I wanted to gauge whether it was worth talking the the HC about releasing to B team or just leave it alone.

    15 on a roster?

    Also, it doesn't matter if my mind is made up. I don't make roster decisions.

    15 on a roster?

    I don't think it is fair to have the other four riding the bench. I think he should have let them play blue. I do think the other 4 will be the difference in winning championships. If they were pretty close in skill it wouldn't matter, but some of them haven't hit all year against rec pitching...
