    Meniscus Tear

    My DD has had two ACL reconstructions (different knees), both had meniscus damage. The first one she was 13 and they repaired the meniscus, which lead to a much longer rehab. If repaired you can't do any weight bearing for arouind 6 weeks, which slows the recovery process dramatically. My...

    Question about recruiting per class

    I agree, the best way is to just look at the roster and see how many from each class. From what I've seen some coaches do bring in many more freshman. While I agree this CAN mean bad things, do your homework on the team because sometimes thats not the whole story. These days coaches move around...

    I forgot to pick up my gopro after the game. When I went back, it was gone

    What state/tourney? I etched my name in my linkspyder on the back side so if anyone ever stole it and tried to use it my name or a deep buff mark would be facing the crowd. So many people ask about it I'm always aftraid it's gonna get swiped, but as cheap as Josh sells them for I should be...

    Ball hits bat after bunt

    Comp is correct as usual. But once the bat stops moving in far territory it becomes part of the field and is no longer an out and is a live ball, correct?

    AthletesGoLive thread for users to help each other and commiserate

    Also from our experience when some games dont populate into archieved. For some reason the embedded scoring seems to stop the process if not completed. We had one game that didn't populate, it hadn't been scored through their app, so went in and opened stats and ended game and it populated it...

    playing for money?

    My DD played in her first one last year. I saw the flyer and went WTF?? 10k first place for the national tourney 18u and 16u. I do believe it goes to the "organization" and then is used for other entry fees or travel expenses etc. But what it does do is bring out all the top organizations in...

    Been A While - Need Some Advice

    Glad to hear your DD had the drive to rehab and make it back. It's a long hard road and takes an emotional toll as well, but will make her stronger as a person in the long run. Having personally gone through this in our family I will just say don't throw to much change to quickly. If she is...

    Glove search

    My DD uses Nokonas, but there are several gloves out there that are good gloves. Starting 12U DD also played 2B and outfield so first UT glove was a 12.5. She now (16U) primarily plays 2B so she went to a 11.5 I-web custom glove with a tighter fit for her small hands. I will also add to this...

    IFA, USA, USSSA in Kansas

    Central Kansas here. I live here and didn't even know there was a new association until I read this thread. DD played mostly U trip and ASA when she was younger, ASA started faltering and at 12U it was mostly U Trip. By 14U U trip started watering things down and going stay to play. At...

    Bad timing for a bad injury

    Sorry to hear about your DD's injury. My DD had acl and meniscus surgery at the end of last year so know what your going through. We tried to just keep it as positive as we could. As others have mentioned it's a chance to focus on some things that she may not have taken as much time on...

    Holy Crazy HS Tryout

    Agree, our School District doesn't allow cuts, so some of the coaches find ways to make kids cut themselves by deciding it's too tough. Not sure it's a bad thing, but someone will always go overboard.

    Tryout Season (aka Silly Season)

    Yea not saying anything on the sitting on the offer, but agree with the fact that if they said first right of refusal, then they should have honored that. Not sure why a coach would ever tell a parent that.... The comment about not having met the team or HC yet pretty much would have sealed the...

    WTB a 28"/29" -11ish DeMarini or LS

    IMO that CF6 Sprite -11 is an amazing bat. My DD has the 32/21 model and has hit several HR with it, even thought it's -11. Durability is great as well, still carries that bat in her bag 4 years later and still can hit lasers with it. Got the LS LXT when she moved to a -10, and it's been a...

    High school softball without playing for travel team??

    Yea Sparky has it right, depends on how talented your high school team is. IMO that's a non issue as in our area the level of play for high school ball is sub par at best compared to travel. Also in our area softball/track are the same high school season so that creates a conflict here, but...

    ACL surgery options

    My DD severed her ACL and both meniscus running line drills on third day of Basketball practice one day after her last fall softball game. We have done a ton of research on our own but in our experience you really have to do it. There were/are a lot of different opinions about types of graphs...

    Florida Scores 2 on Bases Loaded Walk

    I agree interesting play, haven't seen that done before. In thinking about demonstrating what happened to daughters team, since I agree so teams will now try that, it has me wondering about a situation that could come up... As the second base runner was running up on home plate she had her arm...

    Not again!!!

    I was previously in law enforcement and for 7 years investigated all the child abuse cases in our area. Left that career because of the horrors of those investigations... Flash forward 9 years and my DD is now 12. Here's how we handle it: My DW or I are present at every practice for every...
