    WCWS televised games in Canada

    ESPN has been very successful in ensuring that no feeds are allowed in Canada. Can anyone help a fella out? Last year we could watch using Kodi but this year not so much. Any ideas people? I mean short of driving to Buffalo and sitting in a sports bar all day.

    WCWS Recording

    Here in Canada, we are not allowed to purchase ESPN feeds so have to rely on streaming sites like atdheNET.com and such the like. Yesterday's feed was interrupted and unavailable all day :mad: so I had to follow the action on twitter. Better than simply wondering what is going on, but not the...

    WCWS vviewing help

    I live in Ontario and have to get the ESPN feed through various sites to watch the WCWS and cannot record those video streams. I have been very lucky so far, but tonight I have to coach out of town at 8:30 and so will miss the game. Is there a chance that one of you would be so kind to record...

    A father's rant - please be careful out there

    My middle dd is 18 and is one of two pitchers on a 21U Provincial team here in Southern Ontario. On her way back to school Easter Sunday she got T - Boned in an intersection by a bozo trying to beat a yellow light . No broken bones but sore all over and concussion. No athletic movements of any...

    easton pop up catch net

    Last year some helpers put away our Easton (square) pop up catch net. They had good intentions but totally put it away incorrectly and now the net has a significant dip in the top and won't stay up with any amount of hitting into it. I have tried to "work out" the kink but to no avail. Has...

    too open too soon?

    [ATTACH]5110 Based on Java's Drive Mechanics thread ( which I totally believe in) it would seem my dd #2 is opening too quickly thereby losing some power. Thoughts?

    Rear Elbow ahead of Hands

    I read on here in a thread (sorry don't recall which one) a comment regarding a hitter's rear elbow getting ahead of the hands causing bat drag. Bat lag is a good thing as it helps generate power (whip) at least as I understand it. Can someone elaborate on this? I would like to incorporate...

    Open Hips versus Half Way - Confused (once again)

    I need some help from all of the aficionados and specialists please. I recently watched an episode (176) on Fastpitch TV that had an instructor (I won't mention her name here - it is evident on the video) talk about not opening the hips all way to third base (righty) during the stride phase of...

    Pitching Officienados - what kind of pitcher?

    So I just finished reading the thread "What do I tell her?" and found some comments interesting. I have one question to those that can really (and I mean truly) coach or pitch (Bill or Boardmember et al). I have heard that someone who is "a drop ball pitcher" can have a rise ball; and someone...

    what size of bat?

    :confused: I coach a 16U team and am "manager" of the organization's 18U team. The girls I have coached in the last few years understand that bigger bats don't mean bigger hits. Some of the new girls this year want to use 34/28 bats and they really can't handle them but they say things like...

    Anyone know/have girls at the ISF U16 World's? Ontario, Canada has sent a couple teams. My DD tried but didn't make it. She practices with 3 or 4 of the girls. They are doing very well so far. Undefeated so far - one team 3-0; the other 2-0. I know a couple of the coaches so thought I would...

    Parents - UGH!

    So last night we have our final tryouts for 16U team. Have to cut some players, my youngest daughter (13yo) one of them, and talk to one of the girls in person at the end of the practice. I believe in doing things like this in person or over the phone, rather than by email or text. She was...

    Pre Game Routine/Warm-up

    We use a pretty straight forward warm-up routine but it is getting a bit dry and I wanted to mix things up a bit this coming weekend at what we consider Regional Qualifiers here in Ontario. We currently run/jog; static stretch; dynamic stretch; throw; soft toss hitting (outfielders fielding the...

    Pulled latisumus Muscle in Pitcher

    DD has a pulled latisimus muscle in her throwing shoulder. A result of cheerleading (she is a "flyer" and was dropped while one of the base caught and held her arm as she fell) no less. Anyway, any thoughts on recovery time? The doctor says lets wait and see, but the season is upon us and...

    Hey everyone, the college softball season is well under way. Are any of the tournaments or mini series televised so us folks in Canada might be able to sneak a peek? I have access to internet television and would love to watch a few games with my girls (daughters). I know they would love it...
