    Boombah Customer Service

    Can anyone give me an escalation telephone number to call at Boombah? They totally messed up our pants and we are three weeks into travel season unable to wear our proper uniforms. We have done business with them for the past 7 years and something is way off with their sizing and they refuse...

    Lady Lasers Blue 2000 tryout in WV

    Lasers Blue 2000 still has a spot for a 16u pitcher. I will be at the Hurricane West Virginia tryout this Saturday at 1pm. If you are thinking of coming to the Columbus tryout this Sunday, consider coming to WV as a plan B due to massive rainfall predicted in central Ohio this weekend. WV not so...

    Stingrays 01 Private Tryouts this weekend!

    The Ohio Stingrays 01 just finished an amazing season at ASA/USA Nationals in Bloomington IN compiling a record of 89-26-2 over 117 games for the year. This does not include the indoor 14u 6 on 6 league we played over the winter in which the team went undefeated over the 12 game season. These...

    world record shortest private tryout

    We've been looking for a strong pitcher for our 1999/14u team and I got this call from a dad expressing interest in having his dd try out. According to dad, she is the star student of her pitching coach who has clocked her at 60. All this time I've never heard of her because she has been...

    This site is slow as molasses this morning. Taking forever to get pages to load. Not sure if anyone else is having the same issue, but thought the mods should know.

    Same but different

    Saw the post about the kids swinging at high pitches and have a similar but different issue. My dd has played travel going on her fourth year now. Three years at 10u starting at age 8, now 11. Last year due to her speed and on the advice of those with experience getting kids recruited we...

    Outfield - reacting to ball off the bat

    Looking for suggestions on Outfield drills I can do with my 11-12 year old players to get them to better react to a ball off the bat. I played a lot of outfield and often I can remember starting to react as the pitch was coming in before contact. Need help teaching that!

    College Camps

    Took my 8th grade dd to University of Kentucky yesterday for a pitcher - catcher camp. I have been reading Preparing to Play Softball at the Collegiate Level by Catherine Aradi and while it does a good job explaining the rules for written and verbal contact and also official / unofficial...

    dd having shoulder trouble

    Been coaching fastpitch for five years and haven't seen this before. My 10 year old daughter / pitcher has been having shoulder pain. This is her third year pitching and the trouble started a month ago for the first time. Now she has always been on teams with four pitchers who get a pretty...

    "It was construction"

    Brought to you by the same kid who gave us "my knuckeball actually knucked"...... Saturday my speedy 10u daughter got thrown out stealing second - which for her is extremely rare. I actually thought she slid under the tag and got a bad call. So between innings I asked her what happened and...

    Knuckleball

    I work with my dd on a knuckleball as an alternative to her change up. She is 10. Up until today it has never been a true knuckleball - it has spin. However it has been a reliable off speed pitch whenever she struggles with her change up. At any rate, I've been drilling her to try and make...

    Ground / soil conditions

    Had a 10u championship game yesterday and our pitchers were battling two big holes, one at the rubber and the other where the stride foot lands. Conditions were dry and the only fill available was the surrounding powder which did not provide good footing. Went through two pitchers who both...

    Spray Charts

    I'm looking for a downloadable and hopefully free spray chart that I can print. Looking to be able to chart 12 players on one sheet to track opposing teams. Any help out there? Google isn't cutting it this time. Thanks!

    Looking for 10 & 12u Friendlies - Central / Northern Kentucky

    Have some tough Ohio, Indiana, and Tenn 10 and 12u teams looking for a host for friendlies the weekend of April 28/29. I was just informed by the original organizer that his team has to back out but the rest of us still want to play. If your team is in Central or Northern Kentucky and you are...

    Chin Pad

    I have an Easton Hockey type youth catcher's mask that is missing the chin pad. Anyone know where I can get a replacement without having to buy a whole new helmet? This pad just velcro's in and I think one of my players cannibalized it for her own mask.

    Boombah Debacle

    Can anyone provide me the contact information for the president of Boombah? Our experience with them has become a nightmare and their customer service is a disaster. :mad:

    Extra move

    I have a 12u player who has an extra move with her hands in between her load and beginning the swing. Some people refer to it as hitching and it is usually (I think) a subconscious timing move. It is really affecting her ability to make solid contact especially with high speed pitches...
