WHEN THE OTHER PITCHER DOMINATES
She would probably be considered average home to 1st. She is as fast as anyone on the team after she gets up to speed, but she is a little slow to start. She is smaller in size, so I think it is all about her technique. I told her that when we started practicing slapping that her coach probably...- truecrimson

WHEN THE OTHER PITCHER DOMINATES
Spot on RADCatcher. My DD is a very good hitter from the right side, but she likes to be versatile (and try new things). So during the Covid break she learned to slap. We had a scrimmage last week and it was the first time she got to put her new skills to the test. She needed to sacrifice to...- truecrimson

Lets see your best Title IX violations.
When our new high school was built they constructed an athletic facility for boys baseball, football, etc.. They "forgot" to build a practice field for softball or any place for female athletics.

WHEN THE OTHER PITCHER DOMINATES
I totally disagree with the suggestions of getting the umpire involved by arguing illegal pitches, crow hops, etc... unless the pitcher is ACTUALLY doing any of those things.

When to play music between innings?
Never. Never, ever, ever. Just because "your girls love it" doesn't make it right. There is an entire ballpark full of other people and everyone but your girls probably don't care for it. It's a free country, but out of respect for everyone else at the ballpark I would never play it except at...- truecrimson

Just have to vent! I am done with softball!
My daughter was in a similar situation, but she loved the team. Also, the coaches were very good and very fair in almost every other situation. So we had a long talk and I told her that if she wanted more pitching time then she needed to outwork the other girls or we could try another team. She...- truecrimson

At What Age Do Bats Make a Discernable Difference?
For my daughter it was around age 12. She has always been one of the smaller players on the team, but she is fairly strong for her size. Before age 12 we tried several bats and it didn't make a difference (she just wasn't swinging hard enough). We purchased her a CF-8 when she broke her Vendetta...- truecrimson
