    Top 14u teams in in So Cal (spring of '19)

    Good Luck in Vegas at PGF Qualifier

    Mississippi will be the first state to require the four most dangerous positions (including catcher) to wear face masks in High School.

    Masks in the outfield look silly, doesn't matter if they're 6 or 16

    Anyone else get excited the night before a tournament?

    Half hour drive? Are you sure that's travel ball? I feel ya, luckily I discovered that a shot of Sailor Jerry and 2 CBD gummies will help get a good night's rest before tourney play.

    33% of the Pac

    33% of schools from the Pac conference are going to be in the WCWS in OK City. This in spite of other conferences getting to send 85% of their teams to regionals and giving most of them hosting berths. Big 12 put 28% of their squads in the WCWS which is also impressive The sec have 15% Big...

    How about that an illegal pitch!!!

    This is how ncaa sports work. Watch a college football game, certain conferences officials are much more stringent to the rule book than the officials in other conferences. What's a hold or a block in the back at a Pac 12 game is just a good play in the sec. Maybe it's time to get the NCAA...

    Mississippi will be the first state to require the four most dangerous positions (including catcher) to wear face masks in High School.

    Pitchers are farther away but the fielders are the same distance. It's starting to look like college baseball in the late 90s. Remember they started making drastic changes to the bats after the 98 CWS when USC beat ASU 21-12 or something ridiculous like that. While I don't know that I'd move...

    Top 14u teams in in So Cal (spring of '19)

    Not that familiar with Tony, the DD loves the Briggs' though, Ken is one of the coaches at OLu. Pretty sure the Medina Briggs As team is a mix of 04s and 05s with some of the old SCA Alonzo/Briggs players, a pitcher from the old BB Frias team and another 2023 pitcher that I heard came over from...

    How bout getting rid of the bats that are the same drop as these girls swung in 6u? Make the bats -5 max In baseball they swing drop 10s when they're 7 but at 14 they're limited to drop 3s, softball should do the same

    Top 14u teams in in So Cal (spring of '19)

    I don't think Thornburg Adams is the same team as Thornburg Kaiser was. The 04 Brashear teams had a mix up when they added Explosion Smith and Mikes girls and Brashear/Lopez sort of melted in that 2022 team. I don't think I remember seeing SCA Grasse/Molina.

    Top 14u teams in in So Cal (spring of '19)

    I agree, I missed USA Athletics Mathis. I'd even have them in the top 10 with FC Thornburg Kaiser in the 11-30 group Edited original post. Source would just be 4 years of watching these teams/girls develop Did I have your team in there among those top 10/30 teams? There are probably another...

    Stay and Play question

    D9 in Orlando and TCS in Colorado have been great and easy to work with but I'm not sure who set everything up. I believe the team the DD is on has a set of parents who acts as the manager, those parents handle all of the travel needs as well as setting up all the extracurricular activities and...

    Are there any TEAMS left?

    Depending on how far apart the players live and how many are on the squad, being a team can be difficult. The DDs team has 16 girls from 120 mile area and they rarely practice together, never during the week. To get a team feel they stay in rooms together, without their parents, when the team...

    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying

    For better or worse, college softball, the playoffs especially, are controlled by the evil 4 letter from Bristol. That evil 4 letter network has all of their fiancial eggs in the basket of the south eastern conference. The south eastern conference has won 3 titles, 2 of those by florida. So...

    Travel Ball is Killing Rec Ball

    Last year I paid 175 a month for 9 months (no dues in August, September or December) of travel ball, her team played in 198 games by the end of PGF. That's about 8 dollars a game plus 200 for uniforms and then hotels in Vegas and Colorado. Not bad. Park and rec would have been 225 plus 180 for...

    Travel Ball is Killing Rec Ball

    225 for park and rec here, plus 15 a week for the batting facility. The first travel team my DD was on was 115 a month and included EM Speed and Power 3 times a week and indoor hitting once a week. Uniforms were 250.

    Things College Softball Announcers Can Quit Saying

    I had just looked at it. How does a team that took 6th in their own conference get to host a regional? What a crock The gators should be on the road. This is just more espn/sec shenanigans, it happens in every sport the eastern seaboard propaganda network wants to televise

    Travel Ball is Killing Rec Ball

    At a contending D1 school in softball and baseball the HS coaches either are top travel coaches or know enough of them to direct the talent to their schools. The division 3-7 schools will likely take whoever they can get. At pitching lessons last night the pitching coach was getting in to...
