    10U Catcher - throwing confidence

    My daughter is not weak for her age and average size for a 2011 player. She seems to have confidence issues when she throws, and likes to "get it there" rather than fire it. Looking for any tips mechanically or mentally on how to overcome this. Video below from a game this past weekend to help...

    What is 2021's last tourney before aging up?

    In the past, PGF Southern California signified the last tournament teams competed at before moving up for the next season. Last year, I believe it was the St. George tournament (at least for the So Cal teams). At least for 10U, PGF is in Tennessee this weekend and there's a big AFA tournament...

    Catcher's bag recommendations

    Trying to knock items off the the 'ol Christmas list for DD. She's been carrying a utility Rawlings sports back for the past 18 months with all of her gear in it. She looks badass having to carry if everywhere (I don't help), but she's earned a little comfort. Please recommend any catcher's...

    10U Catcher's mitt - recommendations

    My daughter is a 2011 player who will be playing 10U for the next couple of years. She played up in the spring in 10U and has been playing on a travel-lite since August (very common in California these days as rec leagues are practice-only) and was using an Akadema baseball catcher's mitt. It...

    Online speed/agility

    Hi - Looking for resources for speed/agility to do at home so my daughter (just turned 9) while we're stuck at home. Any sites, apps or other references you can recommend? Thanks, Seth

    Arm care program

    A lot of baseball and softball social media talk about arm care and it’s importance, but rarely delve in to the details. With my daughter growing and having higher expectations in her role with throwing as she gets older, I’d like to keep her arm healthy. Looking for programs that work, or...

    2019 Louisville PXT X19 -10 deal?

    Received an email from softballfans with bat at $109.89. No idea if a good deal or not, but figured I’d share.

    In search of youth catcher's mitt

    My 8 y/o daughter has taken to catching and is asking for a catcher's mitt for Christmas. Not looking to break the bank on an 8 y/o, so figured I'd see if anyone is looking to get rid of theirs. Reply here or direct message me - thanks!

    In search of youth catcher's mitt

    My 8 y/o daughter has taken to catching and is asking for a catcher's glove for Christmas. Not looking to break the bank on an 8 y/o, so figured I'd see if anyone is looking to get rid of theirs. Reply here or direct message me - thanks!

    So Cal Ellie

    Figured I'd start a thread to document progress. This is Ellie, entering her second season of 8U. In our highly competitive rec league, the girls pitch until they reach four balls, and then it turns to coach pitch. In the second half of the season, coach pitch is eliminated. Ellie led off and...

    Wilson Onyx - 11.75

    My 8 y/o DD needs an upgrade, as she's playing with one of those cheap Franklin or Wilson black/pink outline gloves that are fake leather. I'm not looking to break the bank at this point as she's 8. She plays catcher and middle infield, and has pretty long fingers for an 8 y/o. How's this...

    2019 Louisville Slugger FP LXT - worth it?

    Daughter will be playing her second season of 8u. We don't have expensive gear at this point. She has some natural talent and is foregoing her usual fall/soccer season to play softball again (her choice). With 2019 bats being discounted, wanted to find out if this bat is worth throwing $150 at...

    Axe Element Fastpitch Bat 2019 (-12)

    Has anyone tried out an Axe softball bat? Any thoughts? https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/axe-element-fastpitch-bat-2019-12-18axewxlmnt12whtpfpb/18axewxlmnt12whtpfpb My daughter used an Axe t-ball bat, along with her brother, and they seemed to really enjoy it. She ripped with it. Just...

    Glove/Bat size recommendations for 7 y/o

    Hi, My 7 y/o daughter is making the switch from baseball to softball for the spring season. She's played since she was 4 - two seasons of tee-ball and a season of machine pitch. Her glove is too small for softball, and I obviously need to get her a back. Looking for recommendations for size...

    A little Help for new pitcher

    I'll jump right in. Bill - I have a 6 y/o who expressed interest in pitching. She's played Little League for the past three years (tee-ball starting at 4) and is good (not just for a girl). Good enough that she was practicing with the 7-8 y/os at end of last spring because she was bored in...

    Baseball Fever Forum down still

    At what point do we need to be concerned that it's not returning? Or does anyone have some info on that?

    6 y/o wants to learn to pitch

    Hi - My 6 y/o daughter currently plays t-ball in Little League with the boys (and a handful of other girls). She's really good. She really wants to play with other girls (got a taste of it with AYSO this past fall) so we occasionally talk about getting her involved with softball. Last night I...

    5 y/o DD has some INTENT

    Captured my just-turned 5 y/o daughter getting in some hacks off the tee yesterday on my junky iPhone 5 camera. There's some serious bat drag here, but I'll ignore for now. She's got some weight balance going. And definitely swings with intent to harm. First swing is a bit off, I just liked...

    Zepp $74.99

    I'm in no way affiliated with Zepp or Sports Authority, but wanted to share a deal I came across for those considering the Zepp sensor. Sports Authority is having a 25% off flash sale on all items. Included is the Zepp Swing Analyzer Kit. It's $99 right now, and after applying the discount...
