    What makes a bad softball parent?

    I have seen this exact situation take down 2 different teams we have been on (one actually folded an organization), this is Deadly!!! For the upcoming 2011-12 season the coach was actually interviewing the parents more than the kids (LOL) what a sad thing....

    Indiana Softball

    They do have others pitchers, but why change a good thing? Hutch in Michigan is doing the same thing. I don't think either team will have a problem next year or beyond. And yes my dd has IU on her list too - LOL

    "Just High School" DD Brag Posts

    It's not "Just" High School - My DD was in the same boat last year. Made Varsity Softball her Freshman year, but couldn't play because of a torn ACL from basketball. She is back and really enjoying high school ball. Last night went 2 for 4 with a text book bunt to load the bases, then a 2 run...

    Recruiting Websites

    My daughter actually uses berecruited.com - For a 1 time, small fee, we have found it very beneficial. Contact made with a few D1 schools, gave us many more options of D2 & D3 schools. We can see what schools have looked, request others to look at her and every couple months we see a school...

    Do Bat Warmers Work???

    Getting ready for the fall season in Chicago and High School Season next spring where the temps are well below 60 and sometimes below 50. DD has a brand new CF4 Insane and would like to use it this fall and next spring. Has anyone used the batter warmers and do you have any pros/cons??

    Help - Travel Swing vs. High School Swing??

    Guess I should mention the HS Coach played "Professional Ball" as in competed with and against say Jennie Finch, and others on the USA Team.

    Help - Travel Swing vs. High School Swing??

    I have heard before that girls are dropping out of highschool ball and sticking to travel and that is what I am trying to avoid as my daughter will only be a freshman. It isn't so much what the HS coach is wanting, it's more "My Way or the Highway" and I am not sure if it is ever appropriate to...

    Help - Travel Swing vs. High School Swing??

    My daughter, who is entering high school and also plays travel softball (has for 6 years) is now being taught 2 different swings. The travel coach teaches one way and my daughter has responded REAL well to it - the high school coach is teaching a completely different way and my daughter is in...
