I’m in GA waiting on a flight back to NJ. I was here for the NSCA Nationals and DDs last tournament. 14 years of playing. It’s been something we have both enjoyed. I’ve watched her grow up and become a mature young woman. I’m impressed at how she treats the younger players on the team and is...
With very little going on we got some good news today. For DD's Senior year she will be the team Captain. Congratulations Captain Jackie. The team will be back competing this fall with a new laser leveled field, new fence and scoreboard. I guess winning back to back National titles loosened...
Anyone attend this in the past or going this year?
I see Patrick Murphy and Sue Enquist will be presenting along with Ally Carda and Lauren Chamberlain.
I thought I'd throw this out there as a reminder that there are schools with softball that aren't for everyone but some are incredibly passionate about attending.
DD who was a 17' grad wanted to play college ball. She wanted a D1 spot and while offered said spot chose to attend the USNA...
Navy dropped a game Saturday morning to Penn St and fell into the losers bracket. They won the next two and started Sunday with the task of winning 5 to repeat as National Champions. Coming from behind v Clemson and Penn St they defeated Michigan to face Ohio St in the Championship. Navy won...
Runner on second, hit to SS, player out at first. Runner advances to 3rd and rounds. First throws to third, overthrow and runner scores. Is the batter credited with the RBI?
DD's team is undefeated since last year and is hosting the Mid Atlantic Regional for College Club Softball. They are the reigning National Champs and are seeded number 1. Go #18, Go Navy!
Navy Softball is part of the NCSA and the defending champions. They open up this Saturday at home against Loyola. No#18 is on the diamond and Dad is pretty thrilled. Go NAVY!
The ratings are in. Looks like Navy is the team to beat. 320 is the highest number of points a team can...

the party's over.
My very special daughter played her last tournament this week. It was bittersweet to say the least. She and her team played ok in pool play but turned it on for the bracket. In yesterday's third game we were down by 4 after one. Slowly we crept back and tied it in the...
Playing for the final Premier spot at the PGF tourney. Bases loaded and our SS jacks one towards the fence. LF is playing about 8-10' off the temporary fence. She runs back and has a hand on the fence. She pushes it down and back some and dives over to make the snag from about 3ft past the...
Drove down to SJ to watch what would be Boo's last HS game. Bishop E had a pretty good pitcher who kept us off the bases. Boo's swing looked good but she kept getting under them. Her hitting coach made some adjustments yesterday and while the swing looked good it wasn't good enough. First...
Boo was named Valedictorian for 2017. This along with being awarded the Scholar Athlete of the year just tops off a pretty good Senior year. She will be attending the Naval academy at the end of June so she will get to play 3 1/2 tourneys with her team East Coast Elite which makes me happy and...
I've been here since Boo was in 12s. It seems there are very few threads geared towards 18U while a number related to College which makes sense that being the goal of so many but it got me wondering just how many people here belong to what age group. So, a little poll if you don't mind. 16s...
DD's team will be short a catcher for most of the summer. Major tournaments for the summer include Pennsbury, Team NJ, IDT, Atlanta Legacy and NE's Finest. This would be a great opportunity for a younger catcher due to the fact we have mostly a younger pitching staff, graduating 1 P this year...
Some may know I have been a member here for several years. Up to 6 months ago I expected my daughter Boo, would be playing for a Patriot league school or an Ivy, maybe UChicago or Tufts. This was all changed this week when she received her appointment to the USNA. She will be playing softball...
Boo scored a 33 the first time she took the ACT last year. I really thought she was done but the Science score was bothering her. She didn't finish and ended up with a 30 for that part. She decided to retake the test a couple of weeks ago and the score was available to day.....35.
I am...
