Objective vs subjective stats.
The "League" function is iScore would let you do this. Each game can be assigned to one or more Leagues and stats can be calculated for just the games in a specified League (or combination of Leagues). It's a very powerful sort tool.- VirginiaDad

EvoShield and other thumb guards?
Jay Weaver had a good blog post a few months back on how glove position can lead to thumb injuries. It's not always about the padding in the glove. October 2012 – Tip of the Month | The New England Catching Camp- VirginiaDad

How do you encourage kids to get started with catching?
Catcher's are a unique breed and tend to self-select. Start slowly. Catcher is a physically and mentally draining position. It's hot, dirty, hard work and there's no time for daydreaming or picking flowers. For newcomers, just give them an inning or two behind the plate and rotate someone...- VirginiaDad

Score keeping software
I've worked with both and use iscore now. Best $10 I've ever spent. Instead of hours of work after the game, stats are produced instantly.

Catching with a first baseman's glove
Just attended the Be the Best Softball Coaches Clinic in Cherry Hill and Ken Ericksen (South Florida head coach and national team asst) said all his catchers use 1B mitt. I'm just starting to look into this for my 13 yo, but it looks like a growing trend. I'm interested in hearing from anyone...- VirginiaDad
