    The Affect Of Games Live Streamed For Recruitment

    I was talking to the head of my DD's travel program a couple weeks ago about what he was using to stream games. He mentioned that he recently had a conversation with a D1 coach about one of his players. In the process the D1 coach mentioned that streaming has changed the game and he didn't...

    Move Up to 16U or stay 14U?

    Thanks for the suggestions! We are playing in a non-USSSA nationals event in Tennessee, and live a couple miles away from a large PGF showcase (65 Teams this year) over July 4th weekend and planned on going to watch. A lot of the local "A" programs will be there so it will be interesting to...

    Move Up to 16U or stay 14U?

    Thanks everyone for your input, definitely some things to think about. She will be a Freshman in the fall. From a high school perspective, we are strictly look at it as a way to keep playing when all of the travel teams stop playing. From what we saw this year, our HS coach tends to be more...

    Move Up to 16U or stay 14U?

    Hey everyone, looking for some thoughts advice. I have an '07 DD playing 1st year 14U on an average B team. Our team stays mostly local and plays a lot of USSSA tournaments. She has goals of playing in college and would most likely fit skills wise in the middle skill level of the average "A"...

    When you quit your team mid-season

    We left a team in January and haven't looked back. We had many many conversations about what kind of message it sends our daughter about quitting something we started, but at the end of the day we had a coach who wouldn't communicate, ignored his team over the winter, justified his bad behavior...

    Travel vs. School vs. Private Coaching Conflicts

    Thanks for the feedback. That is the approach that we are taking. Interestingly enough she had the hitting instructor for her travel ball organization tweaking her stride a couple of weeks ago so she has been playing around with old vs. new over the last couple of weeks. She felt like she was...

    Travel vs. School vs. Private Coaching Conflicts

    Hello Everyone. My DD is an 8th grader. Been playing ball since she was 6, travel teams from 10u until now. She was on a really good 12B team for 2 years, and now on a 14B team with a big organization. She has had really good training and we have spent 2 and a half years with the same...

    Playing for Large Orgs?

    I have an 07 daughter in central Indiana. One thing to keep in mind with regards to the large orgs is that there are teams with varying ability. Not all teams are created equal. If you watch some of the Facebook groups, you will see that there are organizational level tryouts, but a lot of...

    Greetings from Indiana

    Thanks. Your right about the 07s this year. Especially on the Northside. We did find a spot. Can’t believe a new season is going to start already.

    Telling the coach to take a hike...or burning bridges?

    We are living through a very similar situation as the OP. We are wrapping up our second year with a team we joined because we believed in the coach and coaching staff. They were committed to the girls development. This year they brought on an assistant coach that is a couple years out of...

    Greetings from Indiana

    Thanks! We are currently trying to navigate what I call silly season and find a new team. She is finishing up her second year on a top north side 12B team and is on the wrong side of the cut line. It has been a rough week and a half. The team philosophy has shifted from player development to...

Stumbled upon these forums looking for some info and looked like a lot of good discussions going on. Hope everyone is doing great and daughters are getting a little...
