    Tis the season

    Hey DFP it is that time that try-outs have begun or been going on, with some many ads out there. Is there something written in those ads or the way a coach words things that make you just want to stay away and run for the hills. What are some of you best red flags you have come across?

    why why why

    Why go and start a select team once all star season ends and play and do great, but come back next spring to be a rec all star team. I just dont get it people. I know people trophy hunt but come on.

    does a composite bat make a difference

    Just wondering in 8u they use a AD star 5 ball which has a little give in it but it is not a complete hardball. Would a composite or alloy bat work better on the ball when hitting. If you had a composite bat would it be pointless to use it.

    Bat help needed

    Some kids have a great swing and some kids have a fast swing. If my daughter has a great swing with good mechanics but not the fas test swing. Would it be better for her to use a heavier bat to practice with to increase swing speed and then use smaller bat during game to hit ball further, or if...

    just wondering

    When choosing a bat what are the advantages with going with a bat that is 2 or 3 in longer and having the same weight. Is it just for the larger sweet spot.

    Dirty or clean play
