    Youth sports--if your child doesn't love it, let her leave it.

    8 year old wants to quit. Should I let her? Pretty long thread so if this has already been discussed i'm sorry. What about an 8 year old? My daughter is scheduled to go to a tryout in a week and has over the last month went back and forth on if she wants to play or not. We go practice one day...

    Logo Trademark

    Found this on a graphic artist help website. I think as long as I don't allow the screen printer to change my logo I gave him in anyway, he can't stop me from using it anyway I want in the future. Not that I will have to worry about it but I didn't think the last screen printer would be a such a...

    Logo Trademark

    I have went ahead and created my own logo like I should have done in the first place. Different font, font not in same direction as other one, different type of image behind font. Talked to another screen printer and getting t-shirts. I also talked to a lawyer friend of mine who said sending him...

    Logo Trademark

    Question about use of team logo. I went to a screen printer to order jerseys and parent t-shirts. I told him what I wanted for the logo. He started scrolling through sports logos on google. I saw one that I liked the design so I asked him to stop and back to this particular logo. I sat there...

    Do I Need to Tell Coach?

    I'm giving all girls who want to try pitching a shot. Then like you said, pick the best 3-4 who will basically be the pitching staff. By the way, where I live we use a batting machine in 8U. I'm going to start working with all girls who want to pitch this fall then we are moving up next fall to...

    Do I Need to Tell Coach?

    This post brings up a question I have as a travel coach who comes from a baseball background. I understand how the arm motion allows you to use a fastpitch pitcher much more often than a baseball pitcher. I coach an 8U team and my goal is to try to develop 3 pitchers by the time we are in our...

    Softball potential at 8 years old

    Thanks for the encouraging comments. Yes, my goal is to help turn the two girls I just picked up into good players. By the way, they both came from the same team who decided to clear house at 8U. I know I possibly could lose them eventually but I want them to become such good players that the...

    Softball potential at 8 years old

    Totally agree with your point. Yes, some kids naturally have the talent but of all the girls on my team now the most advanced players have also the most supportive parents of the team and they have stated how they do tee drills at home or just get out and play catch. My daughter struggled making...

    Softball potential at 8 years old

    I don't understand why any coach would feel they need immediate results when they are coaching 8 year old girls. I'm not even going to worry about wins till around 12U. I understand there comes a point where you will see if the player is improving and if not their playing time comes into...

    Softball potential at 8 years old

    I did not see the text so can't confirm it. The girls dad is a junior high basketball coach so I guess that is a positive unless he eventually convinces her to just play basketball. Looking forward to my next practice.

    Softball potential at 8 years old

    I just started a 8U travel team. Recently picked up a new player from a local team. I was shocked ( if parent is telling complete truth) that the player was recently cut from her previous 8U team by text. The quote the parent gave me was that they received a text from the coach that stated...

    New Travel Team Coach Needing Advice

    I do have experience with video and editing. My brother has already suggested using video eventually so we can go over the girls swings. Definitely plan on using it. Thanks!

    New Travel Team Coach Needing Advice

    Really appreciate everyone's feedback. Going to try to step back and take it one practice at a time. Not worry so much about the future. This forum has been the best thing I could have found for knowledge and experience in fastpitch softball.

    New Travel Team Coach Needing Advice

    Maybe I need to explain that part about players having ability to play college. I'm not worrying about that now but I know in the future it is possible that some may have the talent and in my area there is one big organization that pretty much has a monopoly on getting the good players. I will...
