1. Is alliance dead or alive after this year?
2. What percent of PGF berths are earned (qualifiers or prior year performance) vs granted?
3. Are teams that supported the formation of alliance and avoided PGF remaining steadfast in that approach?
Hello everyone,
I'm developing a small program for our local league to help kids without the means to participate in our travel team: mostly local but one big week long trip and a number of other hotel stays.
Broad construct is that we are a 501(c)(3) org. I'll find some parents that will...
I just finished it. Highly entertaining description of the life of a travel softball dad, college recruiting and admissions, and some behind the scenes on the Hayley Woods and the Cal Nuggets. Has anyone read it? It was a surreal description of the live many of us are living.

Looking for a high quality (HOH), Nakona, A2000, etc 34" catchers glove that is broken in/has some life left (and hopefully some pop). I have a tough case of tennis elbow and I don't think breaking a new one in is wise. My current mizuno isn't cutting it as my daughters get into the mid 50s with...

I have 2 DDs. One is 5'8, one 5'4. We were debating how height impacts the ability to hit an outside pitch all other things equal. The first volley was longer arms=more plate coverage. Then we thought about the fact that the hands stay in and in some sense coverage comes from across the body...
DD has graduated to a 33/23 and I like to match the game and cage length/weight. Doesn't need to be fancy, but does need to be durable and reasonably priced. Let me know if you have something that fits the bill. Prefer composite as aluminum tends to sting and impact practice IMHO though I'm...
Hi All,
My DD is 12U, but plays up on a 14U team and is really strong with powerful legs. She's been swinging a 32 -10 (Demarini CF Zen) for a couple years now and has never had a problem handling it. She's 5'4 and probably 130, but over a year ago put a couple into a 195 foot fence and I...
Hi All,
Despite my persistent and earnest reluctance to coach since my stint in 8U, I've been commandeered to assistant coach a 14U "select" (Think B travel) team to due a shortage of other unqualified and willing dads. Fortunately the head coach is an ace.
I played 14 years of baseball and...
Hi All,
I grew up as an outfielder and benefitted many times from my monstrous glove. My daughter is a 14U pitcher but plays 1B and outfield when not in the circle. She currently uses a 12.25 Vinci which I think runs a bit small. Worth buying a bigger glove for outfield and 1B,or just a dad...
Hello Everyone,
I recently purchased a Gopro Hero8 Black and Lynkspyder setup. Basically the one in the picture below. The spyder and battery setup are awesome, but I could use some help on production. Key Issues:
1. GoPro splits the file into 10 minute segments...probably 10 or so...
Hi all, my daughter is a pretty good 10u pitcher (11 soon) that is P1 on her team. She's tall and strong and has a good change and a developing curve. I'm trying to make sure we keep her healthy and have been doing a fair amount of core and glute work. She has good form after a couple years with...
