    what do you all do with jerseys, t shirts, etc. from previous orgs

    Funny story as our whole team just switched organizations and I was talking to the HC about what he did with all his old gear. He said he donated his to a near by good will after the switch, but about about 2 months after saw what appeared to be a homeless person pushing a shopping cart down...

    15yo Maddie

    Good luck to Maddie and yourself. I'm very much in the same situation with my 15 y/o DD. Her love and passion for the game is not the same it once was, OR there are no so many more options in here life softball is just one of the things in her life that she has love and passion for. I wold...

    DD's Christmas present just came in

    My DD had the same glove. Took forever to break in but it was great for her afterwards, but she is not catching any more due to knee surgery. My only complaint is the white laces around the edge are going to get very brown. The leather itself stayed pretty white, but the laces were another...

    Does your Daughter have a Job?

    DD works in the summer only. There's just not enough time during the school year with school, softball, and all her other after school activities (internship, school clubs, church youth group, etc...)

    Overhead drone shots are very cool!

    7 “Pitchers” on team

    Totally agree with this. Give them a path to what they want, and when they don't follow that path it's on them and not you.

    is there a way to approach HC without being a jerk

    Wow. Personally I would never put up with any of that. Life and your daughter's softball career is just too short. Since the HC barely seems like he is in charge, and your DD already takes lessons from the head of the organization, I would skip the HC and go to the Org. head. Make sure he...

    11 Months Post Surgery Swing

    Was for sure an off speed pitch of some kind as the pitcher she was facing only throws off speed. This was actually the 2nd pitch of the at bat. The first was a slow curve ball she jumped back on & coach called strike. Thanks for response.

    11 Months Post Surgery Swing

    DD has almost hit the 11 month mark since major knee surgery. She rushed back to playing last spring/fall and was never 100%. With very little strength in her back hitting leg she struggled at the plate and never got back to pre-injury form. After lots of time in the gym and cage she's now...

    Batting average or QAB?

    Neither. Quality AB means nothing to some hitters. My DD's coach preaches hitting the first pitch when possible because the pitcher always wants to get ahead and is likely to throw a strike. Batting avg. is flawed as well. Give me OPS if I can only choose one stat to look at.

    Jersey number solution

    Straight up duel. Swords, fists, wands Harry Potter style, what ever it takes. Last girl standing wins!!! Just kidding. If this is your biggest problem all year then you are in for a great year.

    The rarest of travel achievements

    Very Nice! My DD's 16A team lost 2 players during the season last year and will return 11 of 12 end of season players. That's petty good.

    Merging multiple players from one team into another team

    What age group? That matters a lot. If young like 12U require them to partner with different girls every practice to play catch, go through hitting stations, etc... Basically gently force the groups not to stay groups. "Play for the name on the front of the jersey and not the name on the...

    Choose based on organization or team?

    I don't think this decision will make or break your recruiting since this is 14U. I wouldn't go with Org 1 because of the scare tactics they are using to manipulate your decision. That's an immediate turn off for me and a sign of things to come.

    What happened to ASA/USA Gold Nationals?

    Very interesting to hear how this all works in different parts of the county. There is no PGF presence in the Pacific NW. USA pretty much has the biggest tournaments with the best teams followed by USSSA and NSA. USSSA tournaments are generally a bit soft with lots of B teams masquerading as...

    Try Out Question for Newbie

    If you haven't paid the down payment then you are not committed to the Bunnies. If current team only has 7 and no P or C then and you don't look at other teams you will ways behind when/if the Bunnies collapse. Just be honest with the Bunnies and tell them your taking other try outs for the...

    Thanks Vertigo. Great to hear it worked out for you and your DD. Hoping for a similar outcome for my DD.

    Hello from Washington

    Welcome cbass. I am located in Washington State in the Seattle area. Welcome, and DD means Darling Daughter. Took me a while to figure that out as well. It's a weird abbreviation if you ask me, but super easy to type.

    Playing Up & Skipping Years 14U to 18U - Your Experiences

    Well Canyonjoe, it took the defection of 2 players this winter to get to this point of no drama. I'm hoping it can last through to next year. Coach is telling the team they will have vote on whether replacement girls will be added depending on whether they fit with the current girls. Coach is...
