    A slight brag and a question

    My daughter just turned 11. She sat half the season and spent that time on crutches because of spraining the ligaments in her knee. So tryouts were coming up quickly and a week before they started, she was given the go a head to try out, but no squating to catch for longer than 30 minutes or...

    Going out in style

    My 13 year old decided 8 weeks ago she was done playing softball but agreed to continue playing with her team until the season was over. So for the last 8 weeks she has worked her butt off at practices, she has cheered her team on from the bench, she has played whatever position her coach told...

    All-Star Ultra Cool catchers gear

    Does anyone know how I can get in contact with All Star abouft getting a smaller version of the set made? I tried the number I found online but it just rang with no voicemail. My daughter tried them on and loved the feel of the leg protectors but they don't make them in her size. She needs a...

    Player fees

    A few questions... If you join a team halfway thru the season, do you still normally get charged full fees? If you leave a team halfway thru the season, is a refund normally given? My daughter's team has both of these situations come up and parents are wondering how these situations are...

    Are we asking too much at a young age?

    My daughter is 10 but turns 11 July 28th. She is a small 10 standing at only 4'4". This is her first year playing 12u and her fourth total year total. This year she has been injured with bone bruises and pulled ligaments. I am almost feeling like I should have left her in 10u but we tried...

    Two major brags for the night

    My 13 year old pitched great this weekend, she is improving with every tournament :-) My 10 year old was selected to play in Florida for the Northwest USA Futures 10u team as catcher. So proud of both my girls!

    Second base obstruction

    Runner on first takes off on a hit. Second base does not have the ball (it is behind her in the outfield, she is facing first, and located halfway between first and second base), stands on the baseline. Runner runs into the baseman because she can't stop in time. Runner is called out for...

    Throw down to second

    Realistically, how often will a catcher not only be able to make the throw to second, but get the runner out? I have heard multiple thoughts on the subject. They are saying at 10 my daughter should be able to make the throw to the glove every single time, most catchers can only make the play 1...

    Packing gear for airplane

    What is the best way to pack my daughters catchers gear for a flight? There will be 4 of us traveling for a week-long tournament. Do we check her stuff? How do we make sure it is safe? We can't afford for it to get lost, she is only 10 and some of her gear has been adjusted to fit her and...

    Custom fit softball gear

    A few months ago, someone told me that there is a company that will custom fit and make catchers gear. You go to their store, they fit you in some gear, take measurements and have you squat, block, pop up, and throw to make sure your gear is tailored to your body. But with moving, I stowed...

    Catcher's leg guard inserts

    Does anyone know where you can buy them? We searched everywhere for replacement ones and can not find them anywhere so my mum made a set for my daughter and for our 14u catcher. If you can't buy them separately, would anyone be interested if she started to sell them? They only last a season...

    Catcher blocking the plate

    Can a catcher stand with both feet on the plate, legs together, completely blocking the plate if the ball is still in the outfield and on its way to the cutoff who will throw it to the catcher? My daughter was taught to never do it, that you are not allowed to stand on the whole plate and block...

    Sometimes I forget that she is growing up

    I still look at her and see my little angel, my baby, my last born. Today I watch my 10 year old play on her 12u team and take a beating. She got cleated tagging a runner out at home, tripped over first base trying to beat the ball, she got to third, only to have the third baser trip when...

    What a difference a team can make

    This time last year, I wasn't sure if my oldest would even finish playing out the Spring season. Late in the Fall, she joined a team for their last tournament game and to see if she would maybe be interested in playing for them this Spring. Since that weekend, not only has she practiced 3-5...

    Best cleats for catchers?

    So I know you can get special cleats for pitchers, my 13 year old has already gone thru a pair, but is there a certai. Kind of cleats that are best for catchers? They spend so much time squatting down. Is it better to get the high top cleats for ankle support or just whatever they are most...

    Playing for two teams?

    My youngest daughter found a team that we made a commitment to play for but they aren't very good, even after 6 practices. However they are close to my oldest daughter's team, which makes our practice schedule easier. We received a phone call last night inviting her to come play with another...

    Can an B level player play down on a C team as pitcher?

    Two teams. C level team has no pitcher. B level team offered their pitchers to pitch for C team during games. Same league, just has two teams in the same age division. Can they do that?

    Team Choices

    Ever since we decided to leave my 10 year olds team, we have been trying to figure out where to place her. Her being so tiny has thrown a few coaches. All have said they would love her on their team next year when their older players move up. Since she weighs a good 50-75 lbs less than most...

    Pickup player rules

    My daughter plays Nafa and ASA softball for 12u but is only 10. The team she is registered on is a B team. Her old team has signed up to play the C level state championship game and would like her to join them if possible, but they are a 10u team. Can she play down since she is not out of the...

    What would you do?

    My youngest has worked out with her team now for 3 months in winter workouts. She has been the sole catcher that entire time. Her fielding is good, her bat is hot. A new pitcher just came in, the star of the team. They have been recruiting her for two years now. She thinks my daughter is...
