    Gift IDEAS that aren't cheesy, overdone and don't suck

    If you're looking for a joke gift, on amazon there is a blank journal and on the cover, it says "Things I'd Like to Say to my Players but I can't" We have used it instead of a card. Otherwise, gift cards.

    Showcase—-Number of Events

    14U is a tough age because some of your girls will be freshman playing on their HS teams and others will still be in 8th. That happened to DD, her TB coach scheduled 3 tournaments during HS season including Memorial Weekend and we had HS practices on the weekends that she was not allowed to...

    Recruiting - how much does coach watch you play?

    She should email the coach with information concerning her grades (assuming they are good), it's a good excuse to get in touch.

    Sharing Private Information

    DOB shouldn't be posted, only graduation year. And no phone number, just their recruiting email address. Although these kids put everything out there these days on Snap and Tiktok, if someone wants to find them they will.

    How our DDs ended up on college teams

    I think it's smart to keep it close to the vest because if you have a 2023 lefty outfielder and you hear on Twitter that ABC University "offered" to another 2023 lefty outfielder, what's to stop you from contacting that college to get that spot while the other girl is busy showboating her offers.

    What’s the benefit in changing names?

    I agree with that. But if two girls are of equal ability, the name of the jersey (and likely the coach's past experience with that organization) can give them the edge.

    What’s the benefit in changing names?

    The reason they're doing this is because when their older girls go to college camps, they have a recognizable name on their shirts. If two players are of equal ability, the college coach is more likely to pay more attention to the player with a recognizable name on their jersey because the...

    Yet another scoring question

    On the other hand, it potentially keeps the pitcher's ERA down if that run on third doesn't score so holding it could benefit the pitcher as well. Just another view.

    Yet another scoring question

    Right, but if the fielder had thrown to first, the runner at third would have gone for home and presumably scored. In that case, if the throw to first results in an out on the batter, the batter would be credited with a sac bunt. It just doesn't sit right that the batter is "out" because of...

    Yet another scoring question

    Runners on 2B and 3B. Batter bunts, the ball is fielded but the player holds on to the ball and doesn't throw to prevent 3B from coming home, so batter is safe at first. How to score? I have seen this scored as FC multiple times, so an out for batter but that doesn't seem fair to the batter...

    Posing the question about the purpose of playing college softball….

    Where do you find that? Majors aren't listed on OU's bios.
