    Double play starting at first

    Quick question for you all: Runner on first. Hard shot to first base. She grounds it, tags first and throws to second.....does second need to tag the runner going from first or can she simply tag her bag (force)?

    New bat for 10U player advice?

    DD used her older bat and the xeno. There was a HUGE difference in the ball speed coming off the bat. Very impressed with the Xeno.

    2011 Louisville -10 Xeno Composite Fastpitch

    DD along with three other girls on the team fell in love with it right away. Honestly, i'm not sure if they fell in love with it because it's that good or because it was something new and shinny. My DD liked it but she still needs some T work to get her used to the weight difference. I...

    8U REC league rules

    we use the same as most. No dropped 3rd strike, no infield fly rule and cold home plate. One base per pitch. 1/2 of season is coach pitch, second half we take the coach pitch out and let the girls go at it. with coach pitch, we do not do opposing coach but players own coach, that way you do...

    How young is too young to start training for softball?

    CONGRATS!!! I have a 11 month old. Since we do not have someone to watch her, we take her to all of the 8u games and tourneys. at 11 months old she's already running around the house with a ball and glove. It's hilarious to see! At two i would consider a pitching and hitting coach :) j/k...

    Watching 3rd strike

    you can punish as much as you want, more than likely won't change anything. The best luck i've had is changing my ways. I would be more positive to the girls so that they are up there with good vibes and no attitude. Also try to reinforce that you don't care if they strike out.....as long as...

    No practice no play?

    rec ball in my area is pretty serious. using your scale, i'd say it's an 8. Lozza, depending on their location, three days might be standard. I have that same attitude but more towards park leagues that allow players to play for free and just for fun. We used to do Tues, Thurs and Saturdays...

    Not all California Girls

    I completely agree with you Kevin and i don't know how it is over in Indiana or other parts of the country but i have a feeling that there's more of that here in SoCal then anywhere else. But that's not only the case with softball, that's with every other sport. Softball is a little different...
