    Random Drug Testing for High School Athletes

    The issue I took to the school board was why is my kid being subjected to them when her teachers and coaches aren't? Obviously it didn't go anywhere but I felt all school personnel should have to live by the same rules, of course they don't, and sometimes I wonder just how prevalent drug use is...

    Another recruiting talk.....

    25% is the minimum required to be considered a scholarship athlete. Only those that get at least 25% sign and have to abide by a National Letter Of Intent. I heard this first hand from several D1 coaches during my daughters recruiting process.

    how far/long would you drive DD?

    Since she was 12 years old I drove the daughter 1.45 hours to a bigger city in-state about once a week for most of the year to practice.

    Any advice to prevent blister ?

    Don't laugh...And it probably wont help after she has the blister, but soaking her finger tips in vinegar for 20-30 minutes everyday for a month or so will toughen the skin up and help prevent future occurrences. If you can get her to do it.

    "A line drive straight to my face" By Ashley Pais

    She doesn't like masks never has, I'll ask you where does it stop, full body armor? Its not my choice its hers. Maybe these poor helpless girls should just give up softball altogether, I mean they might get hurt.

    "A line drive straight to my face" By Ashley Pais

    My feeling is if you want to wear a mask, wear one, if you want to force your own kid to wear one do it, but if the highschool forced my kid to wear one, she wouldn't play.

    Over-Training vs. Proper Rest

    I am sorry SoftballMom2, but I am near the end of my run and am just flat sick of nodding my head and smiling at idiots and losers. I also don't care to be attacked especially over points I didn't make. But anyway your DD sounds much like mine. One thing that has helped us along the way is...
