    what do coaches look for in tryouts?

    Get a kid that has a great organized Mom. TEAM MOMS that are great is a game changer! DO NOT pick the kids with the best looking MOMS, their kids, more likely are snobs and could be drama queens. j/k

    what do coaches look for in tryouts?

    my first few years of rec were awesome. If 8u , get a fast athletic girl in the circle, get the biggest girl that can catch and put her on first. I like telling the parents of the bigger slower girls, learn to pitch. Even though I didn't start off with a great hitting team, my infield was...

    Addressing/Questioning the Field Umpite

    i've gone out to the FU on a terrible call (their all terrible when they're against us). I called time out after the play, walked to the FU and politely asked if he would like some skittles. He starts laughing and so do I. I then say, I think you made the correct call from your angle, but from...

    HS Coach Ruined players Senior Season

    My thing is, what ever happen to being a team player? The Coach said he needs you to pitch? If your knee is not well, then the Dr or PT wouldn't release the player to play. So the knee must be good enough to play. Now the coach, should never give a kid an ultimatum about playing. I to would go...

    High school ball

    We start tryouts jan 29 and SC you can play 18 games with 4 scrimmage and play 2 tourneys with a Jamboree. I wish they would move softball to the fall. And move Volleyball to spring. But thats just me.

    12U roster size

    I carry 14, that way when one is sick, or volleyball ( school) we have enough. I usually sit a pitcher and catcher, rotate when I switch. parents understand come bracket play, that the 9 best are playing. U would be amazed at how quick one wants to sit out an inning too!

    Going into dugout

    I'm usually hollering, pushing the girls down and getting them out of MY teams way, after all, my team is more important to me. My team shouldn't have to hear why you just lost, I don't need them to hear excuses in losing. Get your bottles of tears , in the trash, and scram. J/k But I do like...

    Cost of High School Ball

    my budget is $135 per game, 18 varsity 8 JV games and 1 tourney. breaks down to $95 umpires, plus $40 electric. Now we raised $ for concessions and balls. and have to pay a $4 pr mile for away games, the farthest game is 65 miles, 130 x 4 = $520 plus $20 hr for driver. We have 8 away games, but...

    How to help a girl become a team leader

    You can disagree all you want, but you say its up to the rest of the team to raise their game to hers. That sounds like what I said, she shows the level that the team needs to be, and she can set an example of what that looks like. She cant make them follow, they have to be willing. AND most of...

    How to help a girl become a team leader

    Lets watch that "individual" make a stop, and throw, then go dig it out the dirt at first! or let her pitch, then run behind the plate to throw out a runner, and make the tag! I do understand your reasoning, I'm just joking with you, but like I said, if she's a great player, she will bring up...

    How to help a girl become a team leader

    I really question parents that think their kid is the best player on the team, and that playing with "lesser" talent doesn't make their DD a better player, " it brings them down". Maybe so, but to be a great player, you should bring up the talent around you, not the other way around. Now the...

    How to score this play?

    I disagree, the OP said that the throw was low, so obviously the throw could have beaten the runner. So I would say SP then E2. If the runner knocked the ball away from 3B, then E5.

    DD is lousy

    The Texas Charge folded

    I think the NPF should play at Tourney locations. Imagine a 200 field team, watching NPF in the evenings of the tourneys. I think they should build into the travel ball ranks. Imagine a BATBUSTERS team where the travel ball clubs are the feeders, sorta like GOLD teams. I think they should be in...
