    First game after moving up to 10U

    So that weekend was interesting for DD first 10U game. Half the team is moving up from 8U and the other half hasn't played softball before. DD got a walk and a K. On the walk she told the umpire she didn't get a ball to hit and wanted to stay. Second game was a forfeit because the other team...

    Home made pitching mat

    I like it. May need to buy two boxes. Since I've had a few projects on my list I reused some old flooring, underlayment, and painted a power lane. Used a mover's rug and an old net. DD went to work.

    How do you teach them to catch a ball? (Rec League)

    Well maybe not the dodge part applies.

    Home made pitching mat

    BUMP! Has anyone used something like this? One would need to glue the letters and numbers to stay in. Apply some paint and a mound, bam done.

    Good bats for a young tall girl?

    I was in the same boat as you. Mine is 7 and 4'6" weighing over 70 lbs. The DeMarini Bustos bat did wonders for her this fall and her teammates. DeMarini Bustos Fastpitch Bat WTDXBFP-14 -13oz (2015) Believe I went 29/16 route. But you find yourself more paranoid. I watched that bat like...

    Pitching/Hitting Net for Garage

    That's my thinking as well. With the holidays coming up just didn't want to spend a bunch. I'll look on the interwebz as well. Just haven't had a good DIY project in a while.

    Pitching/Hitting Net for Garage

    With our season coming to an end this Saturday, I would like to setup a pitching/hitting area in my single car garage. I have no problem doing a DYI project. This would be mainly for hitting off the tee and learning how to pitch. Her swing has progressed so such much these few months I don't...

    Monday Brag 11-7

    Thanks to some good advice from folks on this board, I've corrected my pitching woes and the girls are hitting again. My DD shined via the glove this weekend. Couple of good stops at first. Took one on the chin when I moved her to third. But everyone keep praising her for the good form...

    Halloween Brag 10-31

    Wish I had something to brag about. But my pitching has been off since my daughter's "homerun" on Oct 15. I've had other people go out and try with little success. I know I'm thinking too much and I get mad at myself. Doesn't help I'm 6'3 and most of these girls are under 4 foot. Between...

    Monday Brag 10-17

    My 7 year old hit a 3-run "homerun" on Saturday. Down 0-2 bottom of the third. I already got on her case the inning before about not paying attention while playing 1B. She smacks my pitch in the 1B/2B gap. While still on the mound, I'm acting like a crazed parent cheering her around the...

    Fall REC balancing

    Well just like that registration has been pushed to 9/9. There are plenty of girls on the 8U team that could make the move to 10U. Contacting some of the girls who signed up for baseball and see if they are interested in moving to softball.

    Fall REC balancing

    I haven't thought about that. We played a team in the Spring that had players on both teams.

    Fall REC balancing

    The fall season registration is about to close on Saturday. And our numbers are up from last Fall were I struggled to get enough for an 8U team. Now I have too many!!! Sitting at 17 players. Three of them are completely new and the others played either t-ball or softball previously. In the...

    16-18U Division

    So I was going through my Facebook feed and saw a post from Babe Ruth League... "In light of the recent changes to the national landscape of 16-18 youth baseball and softball, Babe Ruth League, Inc. will continue to provide a 16-18 division." Any insight on what they might be referring too?

    Who wants the Friday check in? 8/19/16

    WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY WORLD!! But first, a weekend of visiting DW family in DC. Get back from Disney we ram up for school and Fall Ball. The league's numbers are well ahead of last Fall. Teams are ready to go in 8/10/12U. 14U will be slow to sign up because of Middle School tryouts.

    Cheering/ Yelling

    When I did 14U our girls would be chanting during our at bats. It got so loud I had to cool them down so I could talk with the runners. If they ever said anything out of line, I would snap my head around and just glare at them. They quickly got the message. I don't think that will work with...

    Let me see your "At Home Practice Facilities"

    The make shift office wall is down. Building a desk out of pipe to move my computer upstairs. Then I'll be able to organize the garage and find room for the tee.

    Let me see your "At Home Practice Facilities"

    three year BUMP!!! Cleaning out the garage soon, thinking about doing a "tee location". Has anyone done something like this as well?

    Gift for coach, 8U travel ball.

    I got a coffee mug with pictures this season. I have yet to use it though. I don't want to mess it up. Most of the time I get the same plastic trophy as the kids.
