    WTH? High School Varsity Letter in MarioKart?

    I've never seen a thread on this site the made me want to say "Okay, Boomer" more than this one.

    Softball Crisis in 2025?

    My daughter ended up going D3, but she was being recruited by a mid-major one state over. She had a conversation with the assistant that was recruiting her, and he told her that they could find a spot for her on the team, but with an extra year of eligibility for everyone because of Covid...

    Help - Best place to find a left-hand thrower's catcher's mitt

    She's playing D3. The only thing they need are gloves and bats. And they don't really need bats.

    Help - Best place to find a left-hand thrower's catcher's mitt

    This is the glove we're replacing. I found a used one on eBay, so we're going with that. I bought her a new fielder's glove (for her secondary position) on justgloves.com.

    Help - Best place to find a left-hand thrower's catcher's mitt

    Horrible timing on this. Daughter is off to college in just under a month, and her catcher's gear bag got stolen out of her car. Nothing really matters in there except her glove. She's a lefty-catcher, so finding a quality glove has always been tough. We had hoped to never buy another glove...

    Posing the question about the purpose of playing college softball….

    I hate to depart from this fascinating tangent on this thread about engineering classes, but I'm intrigued about the question OP asked. Why do girls play softball in college? Only the top 0.1% will ever see a career on the fringes of softball. My daughter's hitting coach played in the ACC and...

    Crimson Tide leaking

    My question is this: are these girls chasing a title and feel like the transfer portal is their best chance OR is there some sort of friction within the program? Montana Fouts' tweet in support of Patrick Murphy suggests to me that there may be some sort of controversy involving him. But who...

    Last High School Game for a 2022; Need to Vent

    I said half the people were assholes, not everyone. You probably know which half you fall into. And I didn't call you a dick. I said "there's no reason to be a dick about it." But I do think you are finally starting to understand what I'm trying to say on both counts. The rest of your posts...

    Last High School Game for a 2022; Need to Vent

    First of all, daughter DID start. The whole gigantic thread here is about the coach taking her out of the lineup in her last at bat so that a sophomore with four hits on the year could hit into a double play. THAT'S what we're upset about. I'm not sure why that's so difficult to follow. And...

    Last High School Game for a 2022; Need to Vent

    Right. It wouldn’t take much Google-foo to figure out who we are. But there’s nothing I’ve said here that I wouldn’t say out loud to anyone associated with our team or school. That SS’ dad was as baffled as everyone.

    Last High School Game for a 2022; Need to Vent

    I haven't posted here in a while. My wife, who is the OP, suggested that I read this. It's a little frustrating to read through all of this. Half of the people are sympathetic, and half of the people are just being belligerent. OP/Wife wrote this to vent. But let me offer some perspective...

    How would you score this?

    Specifically, the rule at the time of Schaefer's death read as follows: a player is out if "After he has acquired legal possession of a base, he runs the bases in reverse order for the purpose of confusing the defense or making a travesty of the game. The umpire shall immediately call 'Time'...

    Why are you here?

    I usually come here to vent, and when I do that, I pole around a little bit. My daughter is committed to a D3 school now with another year to go before she goes to college. We still have lots to complain about, but at the end of the day, it has all worker out about as well as we could expect.

    DD found her dream school and went for it: SUCCESS STORY!

    If you do contracts for a living, you know that minors don't have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts. Even if there was something in writing that you could point to as indicating offer, acceptance and consideration, you'd have to get into all sorts of sticky legal concepts to...

    Travel tournaments shut down in Ohio

    I'm just telling you (and showing you) what the order says. There is no distinction between "contact" and "non-contact" sports. Just because you're local health department didn't stop the games/tournaments doesn't mean they're following the rules. In fact, it suggests to me that they've made...

    And you have to send each of the six a 1099 so they can pay taxes on that.

    Travel Team funds

    I'm a lawyer, but not your lawyer, so please don't consider this legal advice. As an officer of the 501(c)(3), you have a fiduciary responsibility to the non-profit and you must not waste (that's a legal term) the non-profit's assets. Once the decision is made to dissolve the non-profit, you...

    Here's the order. The very plain language of the order says ALL SPORTS. I think your "somone [sic] in the know" doesn't know.

    School coach doesn't understand the game

    None with that attitude. 😀
