    Life AFTER softball...a lesson for my DD

    Sometimes life provides opportunities that could never be planned. Yesterday I was at a work meeting and joined by a business partner. It was the first time I was meeting my counterpart for a big meeting with a prospective client. Previously we had only spoken on the phone. At the risk of...

    ACK - another gear question (this time, focused on the short catcher)

    Shorty McShort Stuff - she is all of 5'2'' (with metal cleats). She is 14 years old, and friends, she don't have many more centimeters left to grow :( She needs a new set of gear (at least chest protector and legs). What say the experts - esp. the experts with short girls. Thanks!

    Let's talk tournament food.....

    Fall has fallen (at least in the early morning hours here in GA) and now that MS is over, TB is in full swing. 4 scheduled tournaments between now and mid-November. That's a lot of food to prepare, and honestly - I am just sick of my usual menu. Can I ask for a few suggestions of what you...

    How long should a higher end bat last?

    Seems like a silly question, so forgive me! I understand that bats tend to get hotter with more swings (and my DD is swinging a 2015 LXT - it is now just almost a year old). While I fully admit that I want a new bat more than she does, what is a reasonable shelf life for a higher end bat? As...

    Glove to wear under catcher's mitt?

    Hi DFP Folks, My DD is a catcher for both her MS and TB teams. As of late, her glove feels very loose and slippery (likely due to her sweaty hands given the heat)! Do any of your DDs wear a glove under their catcher's mitt? She tried her batting glove, but it was too thick? Any suggestions...

    Metal Cleats - Catchers' Parents - Please Weigh In

    My DD moves up to 14 u (TB) in the fall. Her primary position is catcher, with secondary being either SS or LF. She is eager to buy her first set of metal cleats. I have read various posts (and most girls seem to LOVE them). I noticed a good amount of feedback on what pitchers like, but not...

    Congratulations to University of North Georgia

    My oldest DD will be a junior (does not play), nonetheless, proud of this school and this team! Glad to know those fees I pay are going to good use! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Playing tournaments in the heat - advice from the experts

    All, As the weather starts to warm up, I am hoping to learn from the collective experiences of the board on how to keep girls cool for the HOT summer TB tournament days. My DD plays catcher on a 12u TB team. Last weekend it was nearly 90 hear in GA, and those girls got hot and lethargic as...
