    Saginaw Valley State University NCAA Penalties

    Coach Buck is a very nice guy, very funny, engaging and a great coach. The issue was with the admissions office

    And the Eastern Michigan Softball/Title IX saga continues....

    No, definitely not. It appears that the school does not want anything to do with softball and my resume is quite un-impressive lol

    And the Eastern Michigan Softball/Title IX saga continues....

    Anyone have an idea of who they are looking at for the head coaching position

    Is H.S. ball worth the time?

    To me HS ball can be fine, it will not get you recruited at least where we live. It likely will not help your travel ball season as the pitching is bad as is the overall hitting so when you go play real softball your pitchers forget what happens when they hit spots and your hitters forget that...

    Mizuno Fastpitch Bats

    mizuno I think the Nighthawk is pretty similar to the demarini's. They are not bad bats at least the 2016 and newer versions. Maybe 2015.

    Opinions? Weight/strength training, how much time per week for a 14y.o.?

    My 15 yr old lifts religiously free weights, nautilus etc along with agility and other cardio. I think it all has its place. I have seen improvements from all aspects of her training, regarding the weight training IMO it is invaluable. High level softball players are athletes now. Bigger...

    Question On Emailing Coaches

    Don't disregard or discount D11 programs. We have seen some with facilities, program commitment and TALENT to compete with and in many cases exceed D1 programs. I feel like the most important thing is school, program and coach fit for the player no matter what division. Just something to consider

    requred running times for college girls

    in regards to previous Bustos comment - I bet if anyone ever told her you have to run a certain time or your done she would run the time. She did not become one of if not the best fastpitch hitters to ever play by not working. Then the Lauren Chamberlain comment saying the threshold would be...

    requred running times for college girls

    no offense,,,,but if you cant run a 10 minute mile you should not be on scholarship to a D1 school that has posted a .500 record or better in the past 5 years. That shows little to no work ethic from a player no matter size or position. The days of overweight players getting on the field are...

    Is releassing the top hand bad?

    Many of the best hitters on the planet release the top hand, male and female. Telling a hitter never to do so shows a lack of ability to work with multiple hitting styles which shows the lack of a good hitting coach IMO.

    Any CF-9 reviews?

    Let your daughter hit the bat before you buy it. The CF8 is a great bat, knock on wood has been durable and is hot. However, don't kid yourself the top line bats are all hot its a feel and durability thing. LS makes their bats louder so there is a perception that they are hotter, they are...

    Another clueless Div. 1

    What I've seen is coaches have different styles and different teaching methods. I also believe college coaches look to coach to college level pitching meaning your dd may hit her level pitching great now but could have some swing flaws that will not show up until she sees higher level pitching...

    DFP Hitting Guru Clinic???

    Im banking on at least a heated argument breaking out - age of participants may inhibit much else, myself included in that age joke, but there sure would be a lot of good knowledge for the gleaning !

    Can you afford it?

    Good topic, I would bet that for non softball families the money we spend on this sport would truly bring into question out sanity. Especially if your like my wife and I having 2 girls in travel ball. The time and money commitment leaves almost no time for anything else that is not softball...

    2016 Miken Freak Black vs 2015 Louisville LXT

    Most players will want what other kids are swinging, up to a certain age and then that starts to slowly go away. However, that "branding" has typically already taken place and they have found the bat they love typically a Ls, Demar or Easton. Far too few parents research before they buy and...

    Fav Hands inside drill

    Drills, for the most part are used and are intended to give the feeling of positions which means sometimes these positions must be exaggerated in order to get the hitter to really feel what and where they need to be. You cant take one swing of a hitter hitting an outside pitch and say "see...
