    First team NFCA Northeast region D3

    My daughter just finished her junior season and was recently awarded First team D3 Northeast region all star by the NFCA as a pitcher. She very likely would not have had the success that she had in HS and now in college without the help of everyone here on DFP beginning about ten years ago...

    Another DP/Flex question

    If the Flex has not yet batted in a game and has not been replaced on defense can that player replace "any" player in the batting order? For example, if we start a game (ASA rules) with 10 players and use a DP/Flex and get half way through the game and 3B/#3 hitter gets hurt and has to leave...

    Interference call on base runner

    Runner on second and a grounder to SS who is playing deep. The runner runs in a direct path towards 3rd without slowing down and the ball passes by her closely although it doesn't touch her. The SS was about 3 feet behind the runner's path waiting to make the play and bobbled the ball because...

    Fastball Grips and different results?

    My 12yo DD still relies mostly on her fastball since she rarely gives up hits in tournaments because of her speed and natural movement. She does have a good changeup and has been working on a rollover drop which works well as long as she keeps the ball down. Recently in one of our practices i...

    E-Scoring Apps: ISCORE vs. GAMECHANGER?

    I'd like to get some feedback on the scoring apps Iscore and Gamechanger from those of you who have used one or both. I've read lots and lots of reviews and comments elsewhere and here and find it confusing because what person says is good about one or the other another person comes along who...

    Anyone build a practice mound for their DD pitcher?

    For the past few years, when we aren't at a field, my daughter would practice in the front yard with me on the bucket, of course, 40-45 or so feet away. I did put one of those spiked pitching rubbers in the ground that she pitches from, and obviously the grass in that area has long since been...

    Recommend a new bat for my 12 DD's birthday?

    She's turning 12 in July. Small, lean yet strong for her size. 4'10" 85 lbs. She has a quick bat and some gap power. She's been swinging a TPS zephyr 31/19 for the past year and a half. I think she can handle a 20 or 21 so was thinking a 31 -10 would be a good choice. She likes the Easton...

    Sunglasses Recommendation?

    11DD, a pitcher, wants game sunglasses for Christmas. She wears a rip-it mask. Any suggestions without having to break the bank? Thanks!

    ASA/PONY rules re: uniform jerseys and logos

    Do ASA or PONY have rules that prohibit jersey logos from having a "softball" image on them? I believe that Little League has some sort of rule like that so as not to be a distraction to the batter. Am wondering because I'm working on the website and also team logo for DD's brand new U12 team...

    Hand Position at Backswing

    I've noticed that some pitchers (I'm talking young girls) bring the ball back on the backswing with their hand behind and over the ball, like a bowling backswing. My daughter brings the ball back with her hand in front of and under the ball (knuckles down). Does it even matter which way the...

    Recommendation for Team Helmets

    Recommendations for Team Helmets? Our new U12 travel team is in the market for batting helmets. Have heard good things about the Schutt Air-7 fitted helmets. Noticed that Schutt doesn't have the air-7 on their site anymore though The RIP-IT helmets are intriguing as well. Softball Batting...

    Drag Foot

    My daughter has worn a hole in her drag foot (right) cleat that is just a tiny bit to the left of the big toe. Is this normal (not the worn shoe, the location :) ) or should she actually be dragging the point of the toe, and if so, how important is it in the grand scheme of pitching mechanics...

    Changeups?

    How many different kinds of changeups are thrown? Which is the best one to teach young pitchers who have yet to learn a second pitch? Which is used most by advanced pitchers, and why? Thanks!

    Team Websites?

    What does everyone use for their team websites? Do you use one of the sports hosting sites with established templates that you can customize such as Eteamz, Sportsconnex, Leagueathletics, etc. or do you have a completely custom site. Been playing around a bit with the plus(paid) version of...

    Moving up from 10U to 12U

    Rec. Ball only. Our girls were eliminated from our LL tourny last night after having won three games which tied a town record. So it was an accomplishment but a disappointing loss as we felt that we had the team to compete with everyone in our district this year. Anyway, starting with this...

    Stealing Restrictions on minors (10U) level!!??

    Stealing Restrictions on minors (10U) level..yay or nay? Our town has a local rule for 10U LL softball that limits the number of advances on steals, passed balls or wild pitches to three max per inning. I dislike the rule as do almost all of the other managers and coaches that I've coached...
