    pitch counts

    why doesn't softball have pitch counts like with baseball? becuase the lack of pitch counts, a pitcher i know got tendonitis becuase her coaches just kept throwing her. she was upset because even though she told her coaches all this pitching was getting to be too much, they didn't listen to her...

    Safety!!!

    Coaches and parents need to talk to their kids about the safety that is needed for softball. On Saturday I was with my father, helping to coach a team in a tourny. We were on the field and the other team was up to bat. One girl was warming up swinging. Great, that's what every player does. But a...

    That's for you Coach Lutz

    Earlier this year, during spring training, a high school coach of ours passed away. He had surgery on his knee and a blood clot formed and travelled to his heart and instantly killed him. Such a tragic event left my team at a loss for words and motivation. We pulled together and received...

    Never throw to 3rd?

    at my indoor practice a girl on the high school team said the coaches never let the second baseman throw to 3rd. is this a general thing? or is it just the high school coaches preference? And why couldn't they throw to third?

    Stick to one idea....

    I'm sorry. I just need to rant about this. There was a coach on my TB team last year who caused some issues (let's call him Bob). On a weekend we had a 2 day tourny. Saturday "Bob" stayed out til 3 am drunk, and came to the tourny on Sunday. The head of the organization (lets call him Jim) said...

    machines vs. ball players

    A random thought crossed my mind while reading and hearing about young girls having oral contracts with colleges. And I wondered what all of you thought. Is there a point where a kid no longer becomes a ball player? when they no longer play the game because they love it, but play because it's...

    what would you do?

    fall ball around here is relaxing. its a laid back atmosphere. a chance to learn new skills and postions or improve on your skills. I was asked to play 14 & under or 18 & under. i couldn't play both because the games, which are double headers, would be the same day and times. I wanted to develop...

    Any tips?

    Here's some background on me. It might be easier to follow along if you know a little bit. I've been a catcher since 3rd grade. I'm now a sophmore in high school. In 5th grade my dad pulled me aside to teach me how to pitch. I hated it with a passion and refused to do it unless neccesary. I was...

    Thank You!

    I don't know where you are right now. And I hope you hear of this note to you, or read it for yourself. Duff -- You may not remember me. I don't think you would have any reason to. About 4 years ago you were umping a softball tournament in Harrisburg, PA. That weekend a travel ball team asked...

    Junior Olympic Team

    I read about a girl from AZ that pitched amazing and is now headed to ASU and is on the Junior Olympic. After doing a little research I read that invitations were sent out to a number of girls and the girls contacted saying they were interested. And after workouts and stuff they will choose...

    Facebook

    is it ok for coaches to be checking on their player's facebooks or not? I think it is. Those girls represent the team and could make the team look bad.

    Jennie Finch Bats

    I just saw that there is another Jennie Finch bat out. It's white and a very pretty blue. The first one that I saw was black and pink with sparkles. After looking at the blue and white bat (i was looking at it online so that might have something to do with it) I thought the barrel on the bat was...

    sunberry, pa

    pretty good tournament. we were at the JOL field. good games. Wish there was more shade because of the heat. but we got pool passes to the pool next door. Moved to a different field for sunday (today). Had a horrible field ump. Redicilous calls. Overall, a good tournament.

    chambersburg, PA

    We played in this tournament last year, and we loved the fields and everything. the tournament got moved for this year, so we were a little disappointed. but it was a good tournament. We did really well. It was fun watching other teams, but foul balls on one field, would bounce into the others...

    which would they choose?

    I was talking with a teammate. Her sister is going to college and was talking to softball coaches at different colleges. And in a previous post a member on this forum told me that it would probably be in my best interest to pick a position and work with it. But my friend's sister knows how to...

    This is my last year in the 14 & under league. Our team went to the championship game. We got 2nd place :) as my dad was calling each girl to recieve her medal we walked up and hugged all the coaches. My dad saw as he got closer to me I would cry harder. he called my name and I started sobbing...
