    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?

    1B glove or Utility glove?

    12u (2nd year). Got a Lefty that is a great 1B. That is her primary position although she may play some OF, and once in a while some SS (I know). Looking for glove suggestions. Should she get a 1B mitt and use her old glove for other positions? Or should she get something else and use it...

    Poaching Players

    As we wrap up the final few tournaments of the season, it has come to my attention that a Coach on another team is actively trying to recruit and poach my players. The softball world is small and kids talk. How do you handle? This is certainly more than rumor. For reference, we are a 12u B...

    Playing Time and Player Growth

    My AC and I disagree about one part of our team philosophy. First, some Background: 12u B level team that plays in a competitive League, and tournaments. League play we treat like a practice and we rotate girls around a little, we bat the lineup, and everyone plays fairly equal innings. In...

    Injured Player Returning - Thoughts?

    An injured player has been cleared to throw again, but is not cleared to bat. Thoughts on letting her back before she can do both? I understand, that she could play Flex, but that alters our strategy a little, and is something that we do in some games, but not in all. Ideas?

    Breaking a hitting slump

    I'm at a loss on how to help a girl on our team get out of a hitting slump. In the last 40 PA's she has 10 BB and 29 SO. She has put the ball in play one time for an easy out at 1B. A majority of her SO's are looking (she rarely swings) and her walks are ONLY a result of the pitcher not...

    Positions and playing time

    I would love some help on how to handle a player/parent/playing time situation that has come up on our team. Sorry for long post, but I think the background makes a difference. Here is the situation: Fall Last August during tryouts we selected 9 girls (12u). Our goal was 11, but we could...

    Trading Pins

    We are gearing up for 3 National events coming later this Spring/Summer. Each event has a kickoff BBQ with parade and pin trading. Since this is a new experience for us, I'm hoping the experts here can help. 1. Are trading pins still a big deal? 2. Size? 3. How many per kid (3 events)? 4...

    Practice reps for your starters and backups

    I made a small practice change this week, and it caused some AC issues. First some background: We are a 2nd year 12u team with 13 girls. We have kept 100% of our girls from the fall. In the fall we would run through practices in one area together as a team. We would have stations, but they...

    Crazy problem, need advice

    So I will try to sum up this crazy problem: We started a new 10u TB softball team this fall. We held tryouts during the summer and filled our team. We had 3 girls that were very close to making the team, but not quite ready. I will call them A, B, C. The Dad of A offered to start a 2nd team...
