    Top teams in the nation that are not franchising?

    I am only knowledgeable to the midwest in regards to top travel softball programs. Who are the top programs in the nation that do not franchise, and don't water down there brand? Beverly Bandits is the top team to come to mind in the midwest. Some other very good organizations that do not...

    Head first slide. Like or dislike

    Just a random thought. Do you teach your players or daughters to slide head first? Personally not a big fan of the head first slide in softball. In baseball, the head first slide is used much more due to leading off. It is much more common to slide back into a bag on a pickoff move. It just...

    Softball IQ ???

    First question. How do you teach a team or player softball IQ? Why do some players seem to pick up softball scenarios so much faster than others? My daughter plays on a 10u team. One player (we will call her Betty) in particular just really seems to understand the game and picks up everything...

    Team name regarding a birth year or graduating year?

    Just read a post and figured I would ask. When naming a team what do you prefer the year of the team to be listed as, and why? For instance, let say the team is called Ballers 16u. Would you prefer the team to be called Ballers 16u, Ballers 2020, or Ballers 02? Does the label for the birth...

    Any 10u flame throwers at PGF Nationals this year?

    I remember last year there was a girl hitting 60 mph. Just curious what is going on this year at 10u PGF Nationals. I am in the midwest and I know the Beverly Bandits got a girl that is throwing a legit 55+ mph.

    Another base running question

    Scenario... Runner on first, less than two outs. Sharply hit ground ball to 2nd baseman. Runner on 1st starts running towards 2nd base, then stops and starts going back towards 1st base to avoid being tagged by the 2nd baseman that has the ball, and giving up a easy double play. Does the...

    Wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes

    My daughter was playing in a dome tournament in the Chicago area. On the other field there was a 10u game going on. This girl hits a ball that went 225' in the air to straight away center field. The fence was 235' to center. The ball hit the ground and bounced over the fence for a ground rule...
