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...
I have not used them but found these videos, they sorta remind me of heavy duty water balloons, or jelly donuts lol

Thanks Amy. I will try not to whine.... but waaaah how come MI/TN isn't playing Saturday!! ;) I had my day all planned out to go on Saturday...darn! Oh well, at least it's on TV :)
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...
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...

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...
