    Disappointed....need advice on 12u tourney team

    If the HC is developing players thru practices and games hang in there. OTOH if there's no player development happening I suggest moving on. Nothing is worse than loosing a whole season not learning anything. There are many ways to help that I would think a HC would be open to. If not...

    Generator

    Just don't buy the el cheapo 2 cycle generator. Not only are they noisy they burn oil and smoke terribly. Of course then you won't have to worry about the mosquitoes.

    What is the best way to communicate with parents?

    When you reply to a group text everyone in the group receives your reply. Which is ok if that's your goal. If you want to get conformation that everyone received an important text ask everyone to start a new message addressed only to you(not the group) for their reply. Of course my dd...

    What is the best way to communicate with parents?

    Yes and have them state their preferred method of contact. Seen it done both ways. Ideally the coach or AC would send out info. If your coach is not good at this then a volunteer should. If you have a one of those coaches who does not communicate it will be an aggravating job even for the...

    how would you ruled this?

    I don't think she turned into the throw. She was running to first. Her back was turned before the catcher released the ball.

    how would you ruled this?

    I don't see how they called interference at all, the b/r had her back to the catcher before the catcher threw the ball. What is she suppose to do disappear?

    Good article on softball Injuries and prevention

    My DD as I would imagine most pitchers throw about 75 per day or more for practice. We would do it everyday if schedules allowed. By the time she warms up and throws each pitch it takes that many. The counts in that article seem low to me. But I'm definitely not an expert. Are there any...

    Anyone having "dead bat/no pop" issues with LXT?

    No issues as of yet, DD swung it thru the fall season. I'm with iMlearning on this try it for yourself first and/or get some other opinions. But if it is dead I would not hesitate to call LS. Customer service treated us right on the onex ordeal. Although I don't know how you would prove it...

    Louisville Slugger LXT

    My DD used the LXT thru the fall season. She had been known as a contact hitter, but through the summer continued to work on her hitting and now hits much harder. She really likes it, prefers it to the purple Xeno. She says it is not as end loaded as the Xeno. It is more stiff than the Xeno...

    MLB to ban home-plate collisions

    I agree with this, some of the worst calls I've ever seen were at home. Umps will not make that call for some reason.

    MLB to ban home-plate collisions

    I fully agree. But how will it be written as a rule?

    Louisville Slugger LXT review?

    DD used hers trough the fall season. It definitely feels more solid at the joint. I think the barrel composite is the same, pop feels the same. She says the LXT is more balanced to her and prefers it over the xeno. If it breaks tomorrow I'm not worried LS has proven they stand behind their...

    Off season bat ?

    Thanks for the responses. Another question. Would it pay to practice with a bat with a small sweet spot, not very forgiving? Maybe even a wood bat, although I think weight will be a problem.

    Off season bat ?

    I plan to weigh the bat that way I will know exactly how it will compare to the game bat. I've notice balance is a real issue also or my dd has. I like the pro cut wt but at 30-40$ they sure are expensive.
