    slow pitch rant

    When I was growing up they only offered slow pitch rec and then you played fast pitch in 7th grade (middle school) and somewhere around 14-15 years old they had some fast pitch travel teams/leagues starting. Most girls played on slow pitch travel teams and that was pretty popular and was quite...

    Fielding Masks in College

    I am sure it did Amy, I know it would with me also! I have yet to purchase one as I wasn't pitching to our hs team only helping coach the pitchers. Last week I threw a little bit of batting practice from behind a net and that was hard to do, but I didn't feel comfortable without it as I am not...

    Fielding Masks in College

    Yes I do think a lot of players can get a false sense of security with them and be more aggressive/take more risks because they are wearing them. They are facemasks, not body armor and they still have to be smart with them. I would guess without reading any studies, that it does reduce the...

    My picks for the super-regional

    I enjoyed watching UNC and Washington! Such a hard fought pitching battle and I hated to see either one of them lose. I just couldn't make up my mind in the Atlanta regional ;) I was rooting for Auburn to win, but since that didn't happen I couldn't help but root for Oregon. I loved the...

    Appalled by conduct of assistant coach of Syracuse

    I agree his behavior was not a great choice at all, however I do think I can understand the frustration that the coaches and pitcher must of been feeling with what seemed like major inconsistency on the part of the umpires. Yes she was pitching illegally, but she did not change her pitching and...

    Need help with changups and staying back

    Tell that to Michelle Batts from Northwestern, she was intentionally walked 4 times Saturday!! She isn't getting a "paycheck" and it wasn't always with runners on 2nd and 3rd.

    High School Rules

    Thanks, it looks like the 2010 rules are not for sale anymore (from the order page) but I can order the 2011 book due in September. They do have 2010 casebook and umpires manual available though but I am not sure that is what I need. Thanks SoCal, I printed it off.

    High School Rules

    Hope this isn't a dumb question. How do I go about getting a copy of the high school rulebook? Also, does each state differ? I was asked to help coach our HS Varsity team this year and was quite surprised that the coaches did not have a rule book. I find myself disagreeing with a few things...
