    Pitchers Parents

    As a pitcher's parent and coach, it's the fact that every play starts with what my daughter does that makes it so nerve wracking. A game can be won or lost in the circle - that pressure is what makes it hard to be a pitcher's parent. While we do invest the time and money into developing a...

    Equipment Bag Big Enough to Hold a BowNet

    For tournaments, I usually have to carry to the field my BowNet, a Rawlings bag of about 30 softballs, and a bucket filled with wiffles and sand balls covered with an Easton cover (with a shoulder strap). I would love to find a good roller bag that could handle most of that so I would only have...

    Insurance Question

    I am looking at getting insurance setup for a travel organization that includes 5 travel teams aged 10U through 18U and 4 local teams 14U through 18U (school "feeder type" teams that are not school teams but will have different rosters and will only play locally one night a week). If I...

    Team Slogan

    Another one I liked from Enquist's speech was "60 feet and turn left!"

    Team Slogan

    I was talking with DD's hitting coach - who was a former player at our high school - she was talking about coming up with a slogan for her 14U travel team and it got me thinking about possibly coming up for one for DD's 12U team as well. Do any of your team's have slogan per se? If so, could you...

    2013 DeMarini CF5s

    I recently won a 2012 CF5 on ebay for $190 and received the bat today - but in the package was a 2013 CF5... I have emailed the seller to find out why he shipped me a 2013 when the item was clearly listed as a 2012 - but I am wondering if I should even care. Maybe I should be happy to get a 2013...

    Finding the Right Length/Weight Bat And How To Protect It

    Thanks all! I just received the Miken Rain and I ordered a $35 Easton (same length/weight) for the cage. She will use the Easton for most of the winter and switch to the Miken once we get outside in April. So for $110, she is good for this season... next year we can re-evaluate (hopefully she...

    Finding the Right Length/Weight Bat And How To Protect It

    My concern with the Rain is the cage - she will be seeing 50 pitches a week in the cage for the next couple of months - so that is 400 swings on the heavier, dimpled balls. That won't damage the bat? According to the Miken website that could hurt the bat so that is why I was worried. I am going...

    Finding the Right Length/Weight Bat And How To Protect It

    ((Yep - another one of these threads )) My daughter is starting her second year of TB - she is 11yo and playing 12U. She is only 5ft tall and about 80 pounds (with arms no thicker than a bat handle :) )). I refuse to pay more than $100-$125 for a bat because I know for the next 3-4 years she...

    To speak or not to speak?

    I'm not so sure I agree that 10U is too early for the girls to start playing TB (granted travel ball in Central New York might not be as competitive as some of the other areas you all are from :) ). Last year was my daughter's first experience with travel ball - 10U - and I actually feel it...
