    STEM girl

    The pic explains the circumstances. Her car took first place, best distance for *all* the classes. Can you just hear my sing-song, "neener-neener-neeeeeener?" I was compelled to post after the exciting post from chinamigarden on DD Differential Equations class. I'm pretty sure DFP girls...

    Cool Moment

    My first post, I think 3-ish years ago? - on DFP was about questionable coaching. We've had our struggles over the years. I think the next couple posts were also coaching issues, so I am no stranger to the typical issues. DD now has coaches who believe in her. One in particular who has been...

    They really do clean up pretty good

    Different kind of brag. First homecoming, and I'm surprised it even happened. She wasn't excited about the heels, the hair, or the makeup - and she wiped it all off and made me do it again twice. "Lighter, Mom, I look like a vampire!" But the finished product is decidedly classy, and the...

    OnDeck, Fastpitch Recruits, Captain U, NCSA, Game Day, Headfirst, Riseball - HELP

    I did a search here on DFP, and I saw a couple threads here and there that came up on one or maybe two of these services, but they were from a couple years back. Now that PGF and NCSA have merged (Premier Girls Fastpitch and NCSA Join Forces! – PGF – NCSA Recruiting Network) and OnDeck works...

    Introverts, Unite! Separately. In your own homes.

    So my 15 yo DD is an introvert. Tough to get to know. Told for the last several years that she has RBF. She kinda does. They say she has a face that says, "I will cut you." When you ask her what she's thinking? She says, "Oh, probably what we're gonna eat later. I was really hungry." When she...

    Priorities

    Man, this whole having a job thing is really cutting into my softball time. Just found out I have to be out of town for a glorious day full of meetings during districts this weekend. My sense of disappointment is palpable - and maybe slightly troubling as far as perspective, but I've accepted...

    It just isn't fun anymore.

    (Update, because I posted about DD being faced with a choice a couple months ago.) DD is a freshman on varsity, playing 2nd for the first time. Has done a wonderful job there, made some great plays and been learning a lot. Every game ends with her saying, "Man I love this game! This team is...

    Front Side Resistance

    So my 2nd year 14u DD pitches, plays 3 (and 2 for HS), and bats 4 or 5 for travel and 7 for HS. She's been popping up or hitting dinks lately for school, but the pitching is different so we're trying to just be chill about it and let her figure it out. PC always telling her: need to firm up...

    We really are our DD's #1 fans!

    Thank you for the shout out about watchespn. I was able to catch up on lots of softball while my family played video games. :) During the last UCLA v. Texas A&M game, the camera went to this guy. I laughed so hard, I snorted. You GO, man. I get it.

    Help Requested

    Critiques Please This is my 14yo DD, pitching again after a full season off for injury (pars stress fracture, but most everyone already knows that story here at DFP). She's trying to work on her mechanics, and she's frustrated that she isn't getting her speed back. PC is telling her that her...

    Attempted Access to My DFP Account

    I have seen others getting notices of attempted access to their accounts in the past, and now I guess it's my turn. I am so weirded out that someone would be bothering to log in to my DFP account - but I've gotten several emails in the last couple of days that someone is sure trying their best...

    Huge THANK YOU for Amanda Scarborough

    Many of you read about our ongoing issues with our dd's pars fracture - and I heard privately from a couple of you who were having similar issues with your dd's. That lead me to write to Amanda Scarborough on Facebook, and I asked her to help us get the word out on prevention and identifying the...

    Pars Stress Fracture - Here's another one

    Just got the dreaded phone call after a CT last night: stress fracture, L5. It's stable and we caught it early, so that's a good thing. We won't know until Monday what the course of treatment is, but from everything I've read and heard, the treatment is zero activity for at least 8 weeks. Try...

    Too Soon?

    I am hoping for good things for my DD, and a college career if that's what she wants - but 8th grade commitment? When do they get to be kids? I'm sure this young lady is very talented and her parents are rightfully very proud - but this seems like an awful lot of pressure to have to live up to...

    Playing up, Up, UP

    I love to lurk here, and check out the smart and spirited discussions - so I have to ask what you all think about ALWAYS playing "up"? Our girls (14u) are a first year, mostly '01 team. Most of them (with the exception of 3) only played B ball in 12U. My DD is in her 2nd year of playing...

    Happy New Year, DFP folks. Thank you. :)

    I'm just another bucket parent, and the sport is relatively new to our family (it's been 18 months). I have a 13 yo dd who loves to pitch. She's strong, aggressive, athletic, and very VERY stubborn. Yep - a model softball player. :D She's on her first travel team this year. She was taught some...

    Frustrated DD - Dumb Parents

    Hi all. My dd just turned 13, will be on a 14u exposure team 2014-15 season. She's very excited. Just began playing softball in 2013 - rec, then went 12B 2014, then got picked up by a 12A team and now made it to an exposure team. Good on her! Hard worker, has lots to learn - naturally athletic...
