    Academic Standards

    Aside from the full scholarship vs academic/athletic money, it just appears that revenue generating sports have lower admission standards which seems discriminatory.

    Academic Standards

    A friend’s son just committed to a high academic school for football (One that has high standards even for football players) and he has a low B average in school. Makes me wonder about how many softball players have been passed up for not being at least a 4.0 student with good standardized...

    As a matter of fact she dropped one of her top schools after she toured it and because it didn’t have the precise major she was interested in. She LOVES the coaching staff though and would love to play for them. They just happen to be at the wrong school for her.

    Lazy Kid

    It's so hard to know whether you're doing the right thing for your kid. DD has a ton of potential but 50% of the time she practices on her own and 50% when she is reminded to by her dad or I. She plays on a top level organization in our area and is the ace of the staff. It's hard to tell...

    Does she throw a "heavy" ball?

    Does she throw a "heavy" ball?

    Hi there - long time lurker, first time poster. Love the site as it's been invaluable to me to help DD get on her way to getting closer to the pitcher she envisions herself to be. My question is related to heaviness of a pitched ball. When I catch my DD (14YO), I often get bone bruises right...
