    Catcher’s Thumb Consistently Hurting

    Hello everyone. When our 11 year old catcher catches our fastest pitcher her thumb takes a beating. Is there a piece of gear she can get or a particular mitt that might be helpful. Thank you.

    Another age level question

    I apologize in advance but just looking for a solid answer to clear up any confusion. Our travel team consists of all 2011 players. We are just finishing our 10u summer season. When I plug birthdates into USSSA calculator for 2023 season starting 8/1/2022-7/31/2023 it shows player competition...

    Tournament Age Cutoffs

    Hi everyone. We are a 10u travel team. We have 11 girls on the roster for summer ball. We are thinking about trying a local tournament for the first time this summer. All of the girls are 10 years old but in the upcoming weeks some girls will be turning 11. Rather than looking at charts and...

    BP with no-flight ball

    Hi folks. Not sure exactly what they call it but I see people warming up prior to a game with a ball that doesn’t travel very far so coach can toss it real close. Think it’s red. Is it a weighted ball or something else? This is for 10u. Thanks.

    How many innings constitutes an official game in 10u softball

    Is this game official? We batted in the top of third. We are losing 5-4. Home team bats in bottom of the third. Ump calls game in the bottom of the third due to rain. Did we officially lose 5-4?

    Stealing On A Walk- 10u Travel

    Great points guys. Can’t wait to bring this to tonight’s practice. Just one last question- if the pitcher has control of the ball in the circle before runner gets to first then they can’t continue on to second base?

    Stealing On A Walk- 10u Travel

    Hadn’t seen this yet in our games yet but the “A” team was short players so my daughter played in their game. The batter was walked on the other team and basically ran all the way to second base with our girls completely oblivious to this. Is this all based on pitcher having control of the...

    Questioning a bat in 10u

    We are an inter town 10u travel team. Played an area wide top notch travel organization yesterday. I’ll spare you the details but you can reasonably figure out how these games usually end up. When we finally got a nice hit (double) from our top hitter the other coach sent the umpire over...

    Struggling player - what to do as a parent?

    This is an amazing thread with amazing responses. My daughter is only 9 and loves the game. I am the coach of her White (we don’t say B) team. I am not afraid to say I’m tearing up reading this thread, not so much about a softball future but more about the journey of reaching the age of 16...

    10u- 90 min. Practice Routine

    Hello everyone. The abundance of information out there is overwhelming. Still consider myself a rookie coach striving to better myself. It’s myself and two other coaches. When I try to put together a full practice routine it kind of becomes a bit scattered as practice goes on. Can anyone...
