    wearing soccer cleats for softball?

    Soccer cleats do not have the front tip spike as do the base/softball cleats which is needed for that push off when running. It is a safety issue in soccer when using base/softball cleats.

    Roller Duffel Equipment Bags or Backpack Bat and Equipment Bag?

    Maxballbags.com have a sale right now on backpacks. We are switching to those this coming year. They also have seperate storage shelves in them. They do great team package deals. We used there roller bags for 3 years and my daughters bag is still good to use with a few tears.

    Rec Tryouts, what to look for?

    We dont get a evaluation day.You have to know the girl to make your best judgement. This is why I am getting involved with the board of our rec org. No volunteer coach will come back next year if they end up with 80% first year girls.I would not blame them either.Theres alot of things that need...

    building 10u team with not much luck

    I would suggest taking girls from rec and using your first year as a building year. Do 2 practices a week and find some scrimmage games to play, instead of tournaments.

    No composite bats

    Both bats Amy pointed out are good aluminum bats. You could also get the Bustos or Rip-It Force for a higher end bat at $100-$150

    Little League Bans Composite Bats

    With over 40 baseball games a summer ,i wont buy cheap and i do my homework to make sure my investment is worth it. I guess i will have to go out and get a Anderson,Techzilla. All metal ,but its still $250-300. Worth the money though,they are tanks.
