    Almost kept my mouth shut all HS season but..

    Sometimes I think Seniors should have to work twice as hard to get to start, just to prove that they don't have senioritis. We have 4 seniors on our HS team, 3 are VERY good and are definite starters. 2 of them have had bouts of senioritis all season long and it has cost us. They seem to be...

    Do you know about kinesiology tape?

    My daughter has used it and likes it. There is an insert that comes with it that has applications for various muscle groups. Their website also has videos for various joints as well.

    Stealing Restrictions on minors (10U) level!!??

    I read most of the replies to your question, but not all of them so if I'm repeating something, I apologize. My main argument for not having any regular season rules that differ from LL rules is simple. They won't be ready for tournament play. I've seen it before. The league that my DD's are...

    Little League All-Star roster questions

    You might get away with that for one game. But if she's on your affidavit she is expected to play, unless injured or sick. Once she hasn't played for 2 or 3 games you will most likely get questions from the Tournament Director and most likely be asked to remove her from the roster, or worse if...

    Little League All-Star roster questions

    Just keep in mind when you say that she would have a chance to play in games, the only way that would happen is if one of the other players had to be dropped from the roster for some reason. Once you start the tournament with 13 players, you can not have more than 13 on your roster. Also if...

    burned out people!

    Coming from someone who was/is burned out. Take SOMETHING off of their plate!!!! This person can't be needed for EVERYTHING that they do. You might think that they are, and the probably do too, because both of you think that no one else will do it. Well someone will, or they'll go without...

    A serious matter - Child Predators and Tournament Season

    It's not just during Tournament games that you have be wary, but early practices as well. We had two older men coming to our Junior/13U practices two years ago, and all of us parents assumed it was someone elses grandfathers/uncles since none of us personally recognized them. Turned out they...

    LL pitching rules 8.01(d) the pitcher shall take a position with his or her pivot foot in contact with the pitching plate. This contact must be on or partially on the top surface of the pitching plate. The non-pivot foot must be on or behind the pitching plate. 8.01(g) A backward step may be...

    Little League Rulebook

    You can buy one from the LL store online. It is $7 plus shipping. Don't know how much that is. Your League can get them for $2 but it sounds like they don't want to spend the money, or they don't want people to know the rules. Shame on them either way.

    hitting nothing but grounder

    Get on the T and check your swing!!! If you hit the ball off of a tee on the ground then that's you're problem right there. Hit the ball off of the tee until it goes where you want it to, then practice that again and again.

    I find it Funny

    My DD as a freshman made the Varsity HS team. During open gym I noticed that both of the new bats for the year that the coach had bought were 24 ounce bats. Hmmm I said to myself. When we went back east for spring break, I took her to a "Pro Shop/Batting cage" we were actually looking for...

    2005 Rockettech

    My youngest DD now carries her older sisters Rocketech in her bag. It's too heavy for her, but not her team mates. Tonight the first inning it wasn't out of the bag yet and her coach was asking me where the "red" bat was. He's a bigger is better kind of coach for bats. This bat is actually a...

    pre-game eating habits?

    DD favorite is a fruit parfait. Fresh fruit with a little vanilla yogurt and a little granola on top. I've even just mixed up the fruit and yog. as a fruit salad and then added granola. It's yummy but doesn't sit on your stomach. Fruits - strawberries, kiwi, blueberry, mango, banana or...

    Dad too demanding on daughter

    When I stopped actually being my coaches daughter, I made an effort to stay quiet on the sidelines, unless her new coach needed help in the dugout. I read Hal Skinners article and now I'm silent except for cheering. I even had to get my hubby to read the article too. I saw my DD roll her eyes...

    Sizing catcher's equipment

    Although alot of catchers gear is sold by age, if you read the fine print, you will see some measurements. For instance 14" shin guards. Or 14" or 15" or 16" chest protector. A lot of websites will tell you how to measure for them as well. I've learned alot by just doing a google search for...

    I think Dollar Drainer is the MOST accurate answer so far.
