    Big 10 softball

    I moved from MI to AZ and will never go back. That being said, you might want to remind your DD that ASU girls regularly practice in 100+ degrees.

    POLL- would you pay this?

    Coach K is an all around great guy.

    What ultimate pitching level for your daughter do you hope your and her efforts and commitment will achieve?

    I want my DD to reach the level where she charges us crazy softball parents $100 an hour to teach their kids how to pitch.

    Shoulder position at release?

    I screwed up the post and couldn't comment, but I was wondering the same thing. I was also curious about the exaggerated shoulder move.

    Non High School spring options

    Because club competition is hard to find and usually pretty bad during the HS season, many girls that don't play HS will run track. It gives their arms a break and they return super conditioned. Just a thought.

    Power 5, D1 Athlete in the House

    Here I thought that $400 bats every year was expensive. I can't imagine a horse.

    You're right. You can't use the wire handle. There is a handle underneath the seat. It works for me but I don't completely fill my bucket.

    Cost of college and scholarships

    Maybe I have Stockholm Syndrom, but $25-$35k a year sounds like table stakes to me. I'd love to hear about alternatives (yes, there's CC but that is only for 2 years.)

    Oh, and since you are looking for recommendations, I received a Hawk Ergo bucket top seat for xmas and I love it. I wish I knew about it years ago. So much more comfortable than sitting on the bucket top.

    What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?

    Most of what I know about them is from their Instagram account. I don't recall them talking about what the catcher does with their glove, but you might want to check it out anyway because they discuss some interesting things like how to read practice swings, how to read foul balls, how to call...

    Bucket Dad Mitt

    At 9 y/o anything will work for at least a year or two. My daughter gave me a baseball catcher's glove that I've been using for years. However, she is 16 now, throws gas, and that glove is definitely not the right choice. You will want something that has more webbing to catch the ball with...

    What are your go-to methods for learning to hit spots?

    We recently started playing around with a system my DD learned from Tony Rico. She attended a clinic where he was marketing his pitching academy/website The Range. We are not subscribers, but the site is focused on accuracy and the tactical side of pitching. Their insta posts are pretty...

    AZ college softball podcast

    A bucket dad from Arizona started a 30 minute podcast about college softball in AZ. The first episode is an interview with Nichole Hennessey, the head coach for Embry-Riddle University. They talked about the program as well as NAIA. It was definitely worth a watch

    Making mistakes at practice and during games, DD struggles to recover

    There are many books that can help. They all will have similarities of what they teach. So you can't go too wrong with any of the recommendations that you see here. But the book that had the biggest impact on my daughter was https://headsupbaseball2.com/ by Dr Tom Hanson. He worked with FSU...

    Riseball physics and the Media?

    After we get rise balls sorted out, I think we should finally get around to discussing the merits of hello elbow.

    Womans Softball European Championship 2024

    I watched a few games online this year. My DD has a coach who was an assistant for one of the international teams. I really enjoyed it. The play was solid, but maybe a little uneven at times, so you never knew what to expect. Also, the commentators were a couple of excited Italian guys. They...

    16u vs 18u

    My daughter played both this year. I know this is anecdotal, but I saw more scouts at 18U games. The biggest difference I noticed had to do with the player's priorities related to their age. The seniors in particular are all over the place. Some of the girls that are unsigned are playing...
