    Lots of teams, but not organizations

    Well, I am glad I am not the only one. Everyone ussd to ask me about so and so team when we moved from game to game. I started learning teams when my DD started travel. Wanted to know the best teams instead of picking a name on the jersey. Before you enter travel do your research to find the...

    14U Trouble Hitting

    Agree mental approach issues. My DD was always a free swinger if it was close she was swinging, kept her in that yes yes mode. She aged up to another coach in her organization and they wanted girls to take the first pitch or work the count. That didn't work for her. So was so lost at the plate...

    Top Showcase Events in the South this Fall

    We went to The Show Me the Money this past summer. It's seemed like every power 5 coach here in the east was there. We played infront of a lot of SEC and ACC head coaches and there was a ton of talent there. Not sure about the fall might want to check the coaches list. It was pretty much oat...

    THE Spring Games

    I hate Viera it's a complete ripoff to people coming to watch games. Example for travel season we played Fri sat and sun. They charged 20 per head each day and Fri we had one game that was 40 bucks for one game.

    Thanks everyone for their feedback. Core, after we so some testing can you hook us up with some new bats if you still deal with them? She thinks it's a good idea to start using them before she goes off to college, which I am good.with.

    Okay, need some help from people(well their DDs) who use the Mizuno bat. My DD is going to a school that uses Mizuno bats. I know absolutely nothing about them, she is a LS user. She has always swung the Xeno and is currently using a 34/25 -9. I know there is a one piece and two piece. There...

    if you're not going to swing at strikes...

    Daughter had always been a free swinger kept her in the hit, hit, no or hit, hit, hit, yes mode. Had a travel coach tell her to take some pitchers and that messed her thought process up and she started to lockup. Towards the end of the season the assistant coach told her to start swinging at...

    Meta X

    Not sure why LS is a mess right now with their marketing and their supply. Maybe Covid had something to do with it, but it seems other companies are not having an issue. You hear nothing on the Meta, but yet we see it being used in college. No run-up hype about it nothing. Then their...
