    Skills video....question for DFP community

    Count me in as one who would like to see it. DD will be a freshman next year so our time is coming up quick.

    New favorite Picture

    Coogans-nice sentiments and for the most part could not agree more except we are the 9 in this pic. DD is behind the plate. Amy-really like that, may have to add that to the pic.

    New favorite Picture

    Picture my wife took as we were starting our late game this past Friday. Think I am going to frame this one.

    So the LL coach kicked this young man off of the team.

    Love all the success stories so here is mine. I coached American Legion baseball for many years. We had a young man tryout that was smaller than everybody else and was just not very good but you could tell he loved the game. In warm ups he missed a ball and it hit him right above the eye...

    Whats the best Travel Tournament Vehicle ???

    Right along with you T.J. Ford F250 with the 10 cylinder. If I get to 11 MPG I am one happy camper. Love my truck but I may have to break down and make a change.

    teammates are smoking weed

    Totally agree with this. Your DD could change the path this girl has started to go down. When I was a freshman in HS my bestfriend got in with the pot crowd and I made it clear that I wasn't cool with it. He knew I was down to hang out anytime drugs were not around but if they were don't call...

    Leg guards

    Just bought DD the rawlings. She really likes the padding as compared to the easton set she outgrew.

    Catcher Obstructing Home Plate

    Coached American Legion baseball for years. Came across a team that set their 1B like that. During a close play as he stretched our runner lunged for the bag and came down on the back of his leg. Torn achilles for the 1B was the result. Total irresponsibility by the coach caused a kid to not...

    Don't have to be in olathe to play. My DD 10U team played there last year and we had 3 girls from the MO side that played.

    KCfastpitch is a great website for the kc area. There are a lot of 12U teams looking right now with choices from quality "A" organizations to new teams making the jump to tournaments.

    How many to carry

    Thanks for all the replies. We do have 2 solid pitchers and 2 more that want to pitch and are taking lessons. We have 3 catchers who are all pretty even in skill set so will probably use all 3 especially when we get to the heat of the summer. The reason I'm asking this is the girl that would be...

    How many to carry

    We are new 12U team currently trying to fill our roster. We have 6 girls that played tournament level ball last year and 3 that were at the rec level most of last year but played some tournaments in the fall. All the girls we have had tryout so far have only played rec before(one has never...

    Telling a Player to Relax

    I always like when the coach tells a pitcher not to think and just throw. Next pitch then involves a bunch of instructions on what needs to be done.

    Overheard at the game......................

    We had a pitcher throw a changeup to one of our better hitters this weekend. Wasn't a great changeup but it did fool her. Parents on the other team were all making comments about it. I turned to another parent and said I hope the coach calls that one again. Sure enough in it came and a line...

    Recommend beginner's catching equipment set

    I would go with the 7-9. My daughter is 10 and has a 9-12 easton set. She stands right at 5' and 80lbs and she still has room to grow into it.
