    Funny Plays

    back in U14, my daughter tagged up from third and scored on a fly ball to the catcher. Nice diving catch, and the catcher was really proud of herself.

    The Decline of Umpiring

    This. Especially If you were a catcher, umpiring would be a great weekend college job.

    4 Most Important hitting drills for HS players

    I daughter's hitting coach has a son who is a very high level player and an excellent hitter. All the son ever did was just hit, no tees, just live pitching.

    Runners on first and third, 10u travel ball. Last year we threw to 4 then to 2 with a tag out then to 4. Totally different year. Opinions please

    If there are two outs and the runner on first is not fast, throw her out and end the inning. (the runner likely won't try to get into a pickle so the run won't score.)

    What to use if heels come off cleats?

    This is an old runner's trick. It's called lace locking or racer's knot.

    Uniforms

    If I ran a softball organization, I would only have my players wear plain black pants in games. They can choose the brand that they want.

    Catcher Obstruction?

    Regardless, why leave it up to the umpire? Instead, do a hook slide and make it more difficult for the catcher to make a tag.

    Passed ball or Stolen base

    If I'm doing Gamechanger, it is a steal if she commits to going before the ball is dropped, otherwise it's E2. If it's my daughter, it is always stolen base, right?

    Coach Signaling We Should Resign?

    Every 12U B travel team needs another pitcher. Some 16U teams might even be desperate enough to give her a tryout.

    DD scared to get hit while batting

    I hope your daughter bounces back. In U8 she would cry when she got up to bat. In a U12 All Star game she played against a pitcher and one dad very familiar with softball said, "I've never seen a 12 year old pitch that fast." Rumor has it that she had a D1 "offer" already. My daughter struck out...

    10u rec league- very little support from parents

    Maybe tell the team that the catcher is the first one on the field, she’ll have 8 girls available to help her get her gear on. Yeah, kinda dumb, but makes the point.

    H.S. Parent Follows Ump into Parking Lot

    That wasn't the first time he was overly passionate about a softball game and it won't be the last. I'd email the coach, AD, Principal and your school's AD and principal and let then know that you feel that it's potentially dangerous to play that team unless...

    GoPro alternatives

    Thanks Rick. I noticed there is a X40 model that came out in November; I will likely go with that camera.
