Family Vacations
I don't think hanging at the softball fields, instead of PLAYING on the baseball field will ever seem like a vacation to our boys and vice versa for their sister. Even though Mom & Dad love it, a 7 & 10 yr. old do not want to sit through 7 softball games in a weekend. Concessions? I'm the mom...- atagame

Lower back pain
My 14U DD, also had lower back pain during pre-spring workouts, earlier this year. Originally, we thought she pulled something during batting practice, but a week of rest didn't help.
