    Hating this HS season so far for multiple reasons.

    First, DD1 (Senior) and DD2 (Freshman) are playing their last year together. So that alone really sucks. Both made V, which is good. Problem is, DD1, who is being recruited as a catcher for a D3 is playing OF. She’s a slow runner. Can’t track a fly ball very well. Never really played OF since...

    Indoor hitting areas for small space.

    Looking for ideas on set ups for indoor hitting areas. I have a large space in my living room I can use. Has windows,so we need to be careful of those. No basement. Open to any ideas. I used an Easton folding net last year, which worked, until the fiberglass support poles broke from getting...

    Starting the Process....whats allowed, whats not, and what to expect

    As I am sure some of you have seen, I have a DD2 that is a freshman. She plays on a high level 14u A team for an organization that has sent numerous players to DI, II and III schools. My oldest actually verbally committed to play for a DIII, but has since given up on softball. She still may...

    Not playing HS....hurt playing in College?

    I have 2 DDs. The oldest had verbally committed to a D3, but has since changed her mind on the school and playing softball. While she was still planning on playing though, she quit the school team and told the coach of the college she was verballed with. He said that he didn't care if she...

    Hand/Arm position for receiving pitch

    I was always taught for receiving the pitch, the catcher should have their thumb down, arm almost horizontal. I have seen a few posts on here that have me questioning those positions. Reason I am questioning also is that my DD recently sprained her thumb. She does have small hands.

    Having the worst HS season!

    We have had problems in the past with the head coach of the HS team. This season so far, my DD1 unfortunately got a concussion at an open gym during the off season that was not handled properly. Now, my DD1 who stepped up to be the catcher for the team is being blamed for a 5 run loss. She...

    Offseason open gyms

    I was previously a coach for another sport in another state. I now live in PA. Anyway, at my previous school, we were not allowed to have contact with the players, as coaches, during the off season. We were allowed to have open gyms, but the captains had to run the practice. My question is...

    Pitchers being overused

    Not sure where to put this, but here goes. The HS V and JV teams have one pitcher each. They have both pitched all the games for each team. V is at 10 games, pitcher is good friends with my DD1 and told her last night that her arm has been sore for days, but she keeps going. JV is at about 8...

    Junior High School Ball

    I know there is a High School thread, so I thought I would start a JH thread. Season so far is not what I was expecting. First game we got run ruled, 15-0. Second game we run ruled them, 15-2 I think. Last nights game we got run ruled again, 22-2. DD2 is in 7th grade on the V team as the...

    Frustrations with school team

    Going to try and make a LONG story short, but I need to vent a little. We recently moved to a different state. We came from an area that had a strong Rec program, where I was the commissioner of the 14u and up softball division. I was also the President of a travel organization and managed a...
