    Daughter's Last Year of Softball

    My shameless brag is a bittersweet moment. My daughter played her last high school game a few weeks ago. Because she is not playing travel ball this summer or playing in college, her softball career is essentially over. She had a wonderful senior year. She was voted the league MVP as a...

    Illegal Pitch?

    This happened twice on Sunday and I was wondering if the experts could shed some light on this situation: ASA Rules.Runner on third. Pitcher goes into her wind up and loses control of the ball (the ball was wet). When the ball came out of her hand, it landed about 6 feet beyond the circle...

    Another Runner Interference Question

    18-U ASA Sanctioned tournament: Runner on 1st and 2nd with one out: A groundball is hit which nicks off the pitcher's glove. As the shortstop is approaching the ball, the runner on second hinders the shortstop's path to the ball by brushing against her while running. There was contact. The...

    Cleat Suggestions

    My daughter recently suffered thorough a severe case of shin splints which caused her to miss the entire fall- ball and field hockey seasons. Although her physical therapist gave her advice on a running and training shoe, her knowledge of softball cleats is very limited. I was wondering if...

    Off Topic but sports related

    Sometimes we lose sight of what is really important in youth sports. Both of these young men should be commended. They could teach some adults a thing or two. WATCH: Middle school wrestler intentionally loses match to compe - wistv.com - Columbia, South Carolina |

    A Catcher's Woes

    I was wondering if you guys and gals could help a close friend’s dd. The girl is 15 and is a fabulous player. She hits for power and average, runs the bases correctly, and most is importantly an extremely hard worker. She can play just about every position. The position that she has played...

    Our team will be competing in the USSSA Tournament next week in Orlando. We do not know ,as of yet, if we play in the ESPN Sports Complex. There are about 67 teams entered, so the probability could be slim. Has anyone else played in this tournament or the ESPN Sports Complex and offer any...

    Scorebook Help

    How would you score this play for the scorebook: A batter hits a shot over the right- fielders head. The ball rolls until it hits the fence. Right fielder throws the ball to F4 who catches the ball approx. 15 feet in the outfield grass. The batter approaches 3rd base and rounds the bag. F4...

    Pitching Changes vs. AP Substitutions

    I saw this a while back and just needed some comments or clarifications. I thought the whole incident was funny. In USSSA 14-U play, a home team was batting their entire team which consisted of 11 players. Their main pitcher started the game on the bench, but still batted (AP). In the bottom of...

    Play catch vs. Have a Catch

    Here is a question, that although might not be on the top of any serious discussion on softball, but still needs to be explored. I guess it might be a regional thing. Is it: Sally, do want to go outside and "Play Catch"? Or, Sally, do you want to go outside and "Have a catch"? I've always said...

    Glove Question

    I do not want to sound like a whiner, but I have a dilemma that I am upset about. Back in September, I purchased a new glove for my daughter. The manufacturer’s name is well known and the cost of the glove was higher than I thought I’d pay. The last glove that I purchased was for my son back in...

    Daily Hitting Exercises

    I’m looking for opinions here. My question is: Are there any drills or exercises that a girl could do daily and independently that would promote better swing mechanics. For example, back when I played music, I had practice to various scales and other fingering task that made my playing better...

    OutfieldInfield Rules

    We have a case of beer riding on the answer to this rule question/interpertation: Are outfielders allowed to be positioned in the dirt behind the infielders or do they have to remain on the outfield grass, while the pitch is being thrown? For example: If it's bottom of the last inning with bases...

    Rule Question

    Here is a question for rule experts about substitutions. It happened at the ASA National Tournament in Sterling VA. A batter comes to the plate that is not in the starting batting order. On the lineup card she is listed as a substitute. The pitcher throws a pitch. The coach of the team on...
