    CATCHERS on the ATTACK! ...better than shark week!

    Been awhile since I last checked in....As Ferris once said, "Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." A few of DD Alexis' most recent we've got on tape...

    Printing Helmet Stickers?

    Anyone have advice or experience printing small helmet stickers or decals? I have a inkjet printer and would like to print a) small (approx 1/2 inch by 3 inches) nameplates (Where the KANSAS is) that go on back of the helmets and b) a maybe some color piping lines as seen in this photo. I've...

    AAU basketball and TB?

    Are you just talking about travel/club teams in each sport or also juggling both in HS? My DD is in 8th grade now and she plays travel softball and also on a feeder "club" bball team that is made up of girls going to the same HS next year. Juggling the two club/travel teams is difficult because...

    Ghost Dual Stamp 2020 vs Ghost DB 2022?

    Yep, agree...I do the same and why I did in my post. Ghosts were all "double barrel" but it's easier to identify the 2020 as it was called by most "dual stamp" back then. The main reason I'm asking is there is about a $50 difference usually for the 2020 version if I can find it as compared to...

    Ghost Dual Stamp 2020 vs Ghost DB 2022?

    My DD has had two 2018 Grey Ghosts for the past few years/seasons. She went from 31/20 to 32/22 but now has a shark tooth "crack" and seems to have lost some pop. Well, in her mind it has ;) and she is itching for a new bat. I've heard the horror stories of the newer Ghosts and she/we have...

    17yo Maddie

    Eric, which Ghost Double Barrel does Maddie use? 2020 or new 2022 version? Congrats to her on getting the offers.

    CATCHERS on the ATTACK! ...better than shark week!

    Nice to have a parent start recording the games now. 👍 DD probably should have stayed on knees with low/dirt pick but she's more consistent with pop throws. I find it funny/strange she just never shows any reaction. :unsure:

    Alexis 12yrs

    LOL, yeah the Cruisers are kinda like the Oregon Ducks of softball. lots of different possibilities for combos. 4 basic dri fit jerseys and black or white pants and socks and you got a lot of choices. I leave it to the girls to choose. They like it.

    Alexis 12yrs

    Her grip and overall bat/arms/elbow positioning is definitely something that we've tried adjusting over the past few seasons. But, muscle memory always comes back and he settles into what is most comfortable for her. Which I do think is a bit too much overgrip. It's funny when looking at all...

    Alexis 12yrs

    Hey all, been awhile since last post. Thought I'd pop in to get some more feedback on my DD and her tendency to drop her hands/bat immediately after making contact. We've done all kinds of different drills to help with her finishing "through" impact and her extension, but as you can see many...

    Get RAD Catching Workout~

    Hey RAD, Sorry, haven't been on the board lately. School/work started back up and also started coaching new TB team. Time flies when you're having fun right? lol Now that I'm coaching again, the drills for our catchers get incorporated into our practices. So, DD get her work in with those...

    a couple observations from tryouts

    THIS!! 👆 👆 👆 Absolutely agree! As coaches, we are looking at players and parents to see if they are right fit, but as a parent when I wasn't a coach, I was watching EVERYTHING and trying to listen to EVERYTHING. My DD went to a couple, that in the very first few minutes I knew the coaches were...
  15. Q

    What age do you have to commit/choose pitching or catching?

    You DD and mine seem like long lost twins. Both lefties and both pitch and catch/1B. But, my DD was the opposite in that she was primarily the main pitcher for her teams from 8u to 12u. She played catcher as well, but she didn't really stand out as a catcher until 2nd year 10u. Catching for her...

    Fundraising

    Bumping this to get some more ides or some more recent ways to raise money for TB teams. The ones I've seen a lot are booze wagons or the rolling igloo chests. (Or the "ULTIMATE" combo of both together!) 🤪 🍻

    HS autograph

    As a teacher myself of over 25 years I will, in part, disagree with you about blaming the teachers. Depending on the subject, handwriting isn't really needed much at all. I teach Computer Graphics and 3D Design and everything is on the computer. Also, most of the curriculum is not a teacher's...

    should we say something to coach

    THIS 👆 is one of my pet peeves about TB. My oldest DD team a few years ago did this and my youngest DD team she was just on did this..and for the life of me I cannot understand the point of it. WHY go play in a random low level tournament a couple hours away on crappy fields for a "3 or 4 GG"...

    Travel Ball Coaches: Team Insurance? What company/How much?

    Did the AYSAA coverage policy cover all tournaments/orgs you were in (USA, USSSA, PGF, etc etc) ?
  20. Q

    Have you ever been out?

    One time.. (long story, but gotta set the scene... ) ;) Back when oldest DD was in first year of All Stars in 8u, (yes, 8U, but wait til you hear why and maybe you'll change your current thought about me...lol). :unsure: My oldest was/is a very shy girl (she's now 16) and never had a lot of...
