    Covid extra year eligibility

    How are some kids able to be entering their 5th year? I’m talking about the players who started in 2019. So you have players on rosters 2019, 2020, (2021 was the missed season). 2022, 2023 and now they are entering 2024 on rosters. Are they not counting 2020? Was that a shortened season? Sent...

    Catcher gear

    Don’t know if I should post this on here or the Equipment forum. I’m going to go with here since this is where the most catching people are. Here’s my question…I haven’t had to buy catching gear in a few years. What’s good now? College freshman, 5’8” 180lbs. She’s worn the Wilson pro max for...

    LS LXT vs Xeno? What’s the difference?

    I know this had to have been discussed before. I just can’t find it. I tried. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    College freshman playing 18u

    If a player is still 18u eligible, does this happen much? My daughter might want to go another season but not many 23u teams around here Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    18u talking to coach

    Do you all think it’s ok if an 18u player has a talk with the coach and ask her to maybe be a little more positive and have some faith? The negative is wearing her down mentally and she’s questioning if she should say something now or ride it out and finish the season, and say nothing. Not sure...

    Question about recruiting per class

    I know all school are different. But is there a ballpark or average number of athletes that a college will recruit per class? Just wondering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Teammates not getting along

    I know what the answer is here...I’m not really asking a question. Just looking for insight and any thoughts. The team is 18u. I think my daughter is lucky. She has played since 12u and never had an issue with any teammates. This year though, she just doesn’t feel part of the team. She is 17...

    Silly question on applying lizard skin and tapered end on softball bats

    Ok I’m sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can’t find a definitive answer. I know lots of kids use lizard skin. Does removing the factory grip and applying lizard skin alter the warranty? And what about adding the taper end? Is that illegal in any sanction? I’m assuming not but I’m asking...

    Recruitment questions. When to tell coaches you are committed?

    My daughter is a 2021. She verbally committed to a D3. I know that means nothing official. We are just waiting on her SAT scores and for her to officially apply to the school. She is getting a few coaches that she was previously talking to emailing asking for her summer schedule. Do we still...

    My daughter is dreading high school ball approaching

    It’s sad. She’s a 2021. Freshman year she was at a different (private) school and the team was more structured and well run. Last year she transferred into a public school and it’s a train wreck. The practices are basically a giant goof session. No real work. Especially if you aren’t the...

    What actually do you call the style that Coach Lisle teaches and why do a lot of softball coaches hate it?

    Opinions on where my daughter is in her recruitment right now?

    My 2021 has this current situation: she has the following four schools on her radar. She’s a catcher/1B/3B. 5’8” 170 lbs. usually a power hitter but she’s working through some kinks right now. Is she behind, or probably right where she should be right now? I was hoping she would be committed by...

    Picking a school for academic reasons. What is the appropriate way to ask a coach about possibly playing

    So my DD, after much thought, settled on possible major that she is really excited and happy about. Not all schools offer this major. One mid D1 in the major city near us does. It actually is one of the top schools in the country for it. They might have their 2021 class picked. She didn’t really...

    The roller coaster ride that is recruitment

    My daughter participated in a pretty big showcase this weekend. She’s been struggling this Fall with hitting. Actually this has been going on since last Spring. Pretty much her hitting instructor has been learning new stuff and he’s adjusting her swing to what he is learning and evolving himself...

    Yet another recruiting question

    What is the best way to handle this situation? DD has interest in a mid major D1 not far from home. She probably is not on their radar. She attended some camps but only got general interest (like cattle call letters inviting her to camps). She really is interested in the school academically. So...

    Is there a way to tell what teams a NJCAA program might feed their players to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Uscaa schools?

    Does anyone know anything about this sanctioning body? I’ve heard of NCAA and NAIA but I never heard of this. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
