    Lots of teams, but not organizations

    All hearsay but there are a lot rumors that it is free to play on the Lady Dukes top level teams at 16/18u. Lady Dukes seem to be bringing in a good amount of sponsorship money/NIL money. Maybe that money is going towards the top teams tuition fees. Saving 3-5 grand a year could certainly...

    Top teams in the nation that are not franchising?

    From my understanding, the Beverly Bandits team from California used to be a Corona Angels team. The Corona Angels would not allow this team to play in PGF Nationals. PGF Nationals is pretty much in this teams backyard. Corona Angels are affiliated with Alliance Fastpitch. This was how this team...

    Top teams in the nation that are not franchising?

    I am only knowledgeable to the midwest in regards to top travel softball programs. Who are the top programs in the nation that do not franchise, and don't water down there brand? Beverly Bandits is the top team to come to mind in the midwest. Some other very good organizations that do not...

    Top Club

    As far as 60 mph 12u pitchers go. I wouldn't even say it is that rare anymore at 12u to see a girl throwing 58-60 mph in 12u. We were in the Nashville area last weekend for the Mojo tournament. There was at least 6 girls there that were hitting 60 mph pretty routinely in games. Bandits Demarini...

    Who to buy LXT from?

    In my experience, you will spend more time shipping the Power Carbon in the mail than you will be able to use the bat. Had 3 Power Carbon bats, they were all junk. Not one of them lasted more than a month or two.

    Which is More Important - Throwing or Catching?

    I will take catcher 2 Every time a runner gets on it turns into a triple with catcher 1. Plus she should not be playing catcher at all if she can't throw.

    Help- One field practice plan

    Do not use the main field for batting practice. You have 52 players and 7 stations, so roughly 7 kids per station. 7 kids standing around doing nothing in station 2. Get rid of station 2 altogether, not needed. 1 kids hitting and 6 kids watching the hitter hit in station 1 7 kids shagging...

    NCAA Player ejected for (perhaps) making line in dirt

    Just another umpire that thought it was his turn to be bigger than the game. The umpire needs to check his ego at the door.

    MaxPrep's Top 25 HS teams

    I can only speak for the area I live in. New Palestine in Indiana, will not be the top team in Indiana. New Palestine moved up to 4a this year for softball which means that they will be playing against the big dogs in the playoffs. No more beating up on little schools for new Palestine.

    What's the worst thing you had to give up/pass on for softball?

    I own a very nice bass boat, probably worth about 45,k-50k. That boat has not left the garage in damn near a year. Two kids that both play travel baseball/softball, and they both play travel basketball. The son also plays flag football but that is very close to home. I use to go to the boundary...

    recruit or develop

    That was a heck of a play. How long has that girl been playing the outfield? I am guessing she has been in the outfield for a while, since she is left handed.

    Next years tournament

    Personally I like 2 pool play into double elimination tournaments the most. I agree that 4 pool play games is too many pool games.

    Handling of team/player finances

    I don't give two $hits where the money is/was spent. The organization provides a service, if I don't like the cost that they charge for the service they provide I can go and find another team. End of story. I don't understand what is not acceptable about that response. I don't care if the...

    Handling of team/player finances

    Don't see how that makes any difference. That can happen with open or closed books.
