    OKC Challenge 2020

    Last year we played in the Triple Crown event. All of our games were in Moore (a few locations). Fields were great and each had bullpens/hitting areas. We stayed in OKC (to be close to WCWS), but our drive was only 20 min. Great event.

    Coaches - Allow Players to pickup?

    This is exactly my issue with guest play in tournament situations. What team is really better? The one with 9 girls that played together all year and came in 2nd, or the team that imported even 1 Guest player that had an impact and came in 1st. I'm not sure how/why softball went down the...

    Coaches - Allow Players to pickup?

    We rarely pick up girls and only do it if we have a positional need (catcher in the past). If we do pickup, we treat the player as a member of our team for the weekend and they get equal opportunity. This is also explained to all parents ahead of time. We also let our girls pickup if they...

    How fast to first base????

    I actually make my girls bunt for real. Stopwatch starts when I hear the ping of the bat. Our times might be slightly slower than a team starting in runners start, but man are my times accurate and more game like.

    Does Size Matter (org size)?

    If you assumed that the coach would be the same regardless of org, Does one have a benefit over the other?

    Does Size Matter (org size)?

    What are the advantages/disadvantages of org size? For the sake of discussion I would consider the following as criteria of size: National Franchise (200+ teams) Regional Franchise (100-199 teams) Mid-size org (11-99 teams) Small org (2-10 teams) Independents I understand the answer may be...

    Finances

    I make it a habit to update EVERY time something comes in or goes out. Trying to remember why you spent $12 on Amazon a few weeks later (lineup cards), is not fun lol.

    Finances

    Thanks. That makes perfect sense. Last year, we planned for about 10 tourneys (fall/spring), but we ended up playing about 14. One of the tourneys was TC in OKC (with WCWS tickets), so each girl paid separately for that one (not in original budget), and we added one more local "National" at...

    We currently keep a master team sheet (private), and I provide updates as requested (no one ever has). I like the Google Sheet idea, and would be more than happy to provide, but here are my questions: 1. If you play in a tournament that costs $600 (entry + PaP), and you have 12 girls, are you...

    Finding a new AC

    Not a lot of extra funds in budget to pay, but could definitely pay all expenses for travel etc. Would expect help running stations at practice, and coaching a base during games (optional). In a perfect scenario, they give private lessons (not for free) as well. We have several girls that...

    Finding a new AC

    We are actively looking for a new AC. In a perfect scenario, we would find a recently graduated former player that is looking to get into coaching. Where do we start? If you have a few potential prospects, what does a typical offer look like?

    iphone, camera/video and blast sensor

    We use Blast all of the time. We are starting to dive deeper into the features. It helps give a direction on things to work on.

    Choose based on organization or team?

    We were at a camp last week, and the question came up to the 12 College coaches that were in attendance......."Does org matter for recruiting (big vs. small)", and EVERY coach there said it did not matter to their programs, and is typically not an advantage in getting recruited if...

    Select players playing rec ball – does your league ban it?

    About half of our TB team wants to pick up some extra play in rec this fall. They want to play up in 14u (they are currently 12u), but the league won't allow them to play up. Playing 12u rec does not appeal to them, so they will pass. And that is why rec is dying.
