    pitch counts

    why doesn't softball have pitch counts like with baseball? becuase the lack of pitch counts, a pitcher i know got tendonitis becuase her coaches just kept throwing her. she was upset because even though she told her coaches all this pitching was getting to be too much, they didn't listen to her...

    Safety!!!

    Coaches and parents need to talk to their kids about the safety that is needed for softball. On Saturday I was with my father, helping to coach a team in a tourny. We were on the field and the other team was up to bat. One girl was warming up swinging. Great, that's what every player does. But a...

    That's for you Coach Lutz

    Earlier this year, during spring training, a high school coach of ours passed away. He had surgery on his knee and a blood clot formed and travelled to his heart and instantly killed him. Such a tragic event left my team at a loss for words and motivation. We pulled together and received...

    No I in Team but Player Wants a Scholarship

    As much as softball is a team sport, it can also be an indvidual sport. A pitcher and can throw horribly and her team could still win because her team has her back and communicate well. But I heard that colleges think it's great to see that, but that's not really gonna help their team. They want...

    Pelvic Protection

    I'm a catcher and I use a pelvic protector. I didn't even know they existed until i played 14 & under. i reccommend them, that way they will get used to it. But as stated before, I don't think there is much in their size. I think they will become even more important when sliding is introduced in...

    Never throw to 3rd?

    exactly, i would have thought that if you have a shot at 3rd then take it. but the 2nd baseman brought that up and a guy who helps out on the team said that the 2nd basaeman will NEVER throw to 3rd unless instructed to which is very rare.

    Never throw to 3rd?

    at my indoor practice a girl on the high school team said the coaches never let the second baseman throw to 3rd. is this a general thing? or is it just the high school coaches preference? And why couldn't they throw to third?

    Young Player on an older team - Confidence problem

    depends on what she wants. if she wants to be better than she needs to push herself. playing at a higher level will make her better. but if she just wants to enjoy the game then bring her down a level. freshman called up to varsity often expierence the same emotions that she does.

    was I right or wrong

    i understand why you did what you did. but my thing is....why didn't you send the runner on 3rd when the ball was hit? is it because of where the ball was hit? if it was hit close to 3rd then i understand why you did what you did. but if not, i would have sent her and then probably only realized...

    i am a catcher and i perfer using a 1b mitt. i started using it my first year of catching in the 14 & under division. they aren't as stiff as a catchers mitt and for some reason i just couldn't catch anything with a catcher's mitt. i'm now in my sophmore year of hs and i still use a 1b mitt. i...

    Exposure in upstate NY

    SBFAMILY- 2013? that means she won't graduate until in 2 years. I thought colleges could only contact players their junior year. She should be a sophmore right now.

    Stick to one idea....

    "bob" had made poor judgements that upset many parents. such as playing girls so their parents would stop yelling at him, not playing the best girls. And explination was not given to my father, as far as i know. If there was, he didn't say. Coaches don't have curfew as far as I know, and if...

    Stick to one idea....

    I'm sorry. I just need to rant about this. There was a coach on my TB team last year who caused some issues (let's call him Bob). On a weekend we had a 2 day tourny. Saturday "Bob" stayed out til 3 am drunk, and came to the tourny on Sunday. The head of the organization (lets call him Jim) said...
