    Looking for best end loaded or bat with some weight for 14 yr old

    My DD is 14 & plays travel & school ball. Right now she is using one of the older black & purple stealths. She's done pretty well with it but its getting pretty worn. We've tried the newer black & yellow easton stealth but didn't like it as well as the original white & purple ones. I saw a used...

    most durable catchers bag (doesn't matter the cost)

    I have a 14 yrs old that plays middle school ball & travel ball year round and there is no telling how many bags I've been through with her. Either the bottom rips out or the wheels break or the stitching comes apart. I'm going through bags every few months. I searched "best catchers equipment...

    Daughter taken out in middle of inning?

    Okay I know I'm a mom and I of course don't want my daughters feelings hurt for any reason but tonight I wasn't even mad I was just really hurt. My daughter plays 1st some games and 3rd some games and catcher some games for Middle School. Tonight she had already hit 2 to center field twice and...

    playing for a travel team while you are playing under TSSAA rules in Middle School?

    What are the ramifications for playing on a travel team while you are playing under a (in our case TSSAA) Middle School sanctioned team?

    Easton FS1???

    I've never heard of this bat and yet I purchased it today for quite a bit of money. I went to buy a 2012 Easton Stealth at our local sporting good store and came home with this FS1. When I went in and told them what I was looking for they showed me this bat. I told them I was a little confused...

    What length bat to buy for 13 yr old?

    We are looking to purchase a new bat for my daughter for xmas this year. We have had a Easton Stealth in the past (and loved it) but she outgrew it and we passed it on down to my younger daughter. So then we went to a rocketech last year. She liked it well enough and hit well with it in the...

    Catchers mitt for 1st time catcher?

    My daughter is 12 and has played since she was 8. I've always had the dream of her catching because of her build and her arm and it seemed like a good fit. But..she was having none of it. So I gave up. :) And wouldn't you know it when I gave up she decided she would like to try it. (She is def...

    slingshot pitch illegal?

    My youngest daughter is playing in a rec tournament this weekend and one of the pitchers has a really good slingshot pitch. One of the umpires said it was fine (the one behind the plate) but the other claimed it was an illegal pitch. We were playing under ASA rules. Does anyone know which one is...

    Live Hit and Pitch Session?

    I saw an ad on coacht for a "Live Hit and Pitch" session for 10U & 12U girls. I've never taken DD to any type of camp or clinic so I was just wondering how instructional they were. She already goes to a batting coach and my husband is worried that by me taking her to one of these clinics she...

    New to trying out for TB

    Okay so my daughter has played travel for several years but it has been on teams from our area where the coaches knew her and asked if she wanted to play and she agreed. No tryouts or anything. This year we are looking to change things up a little bit and I've found a couple of teams on...

    No composite bats

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a good bat that isn't composite? We just found out that our county league will not allow composite bats to be used and that is the only kind we own. I had planned on buying my oldest daughter a new Easton Synge for x-mas. I'm glad I didn't now. So I now have...

    Dropped Third Strike rule?

    During yesterday's ballgame our ump called a girl out on the opposing team because on the dropped third strike she tried to run to 1st without swinging at the 3rd strike. But when one of our girls got up there and did the same thing she said you didn't have to swing at the last strike that as...

    Bucket of softballs?

    Why is it that I can walk into any sporting good store and purchase a bucket of baseballs in a heartbeat but I called around to 6 different stores trying to find a bucket of softballs and no one carried them? I ended up having to order some off of ebay? Maybe there is some reasoning behind it...

    I know it's not softball....but I gotta brag!

    Braves Prospect Mike Minor To Make MLB Debut Monday; Kenshin Kawakami Demoted - Talking Chop I know this is a softball forum but I figured a few of you might appreciate this. Starting Monday morning a pitcher from our little hometown where we have 2 redlights, will have made the big leagues...

    Introduction from 8U to 10U?

    My husband has "unwisely" decided to coach a fall ball team consisting of all 8 year old girls who will be moving up in the spring with the exception of 2 9 year olds. After first practice yesterday he realized how many things there were to teach them and seems a little overwhelmed by it. Does...

    What to do, what to do?

    As I've mentioned before my daughter plays 10U travel and rec. I'm not sure how other rec leagues work but in ours the coaches of all-stars are the ones in the number one spot. The coach with the number one team in rec also has a travel team. This weekend we were at a tournament and my daughter...

    Players congratulating each other on great plays?

    My daughter plays on a 10U travel team. The girls on this team have been together playing since they were 7 and are all (most days) very good friends. When one of them makes an awesome play like catching a hard line-drive or something they all get excited and congratulate each other sometimes...

    Taunting the pitcher?

    We were at a 10U tournament over the weekend and the other team severly taunted our pitchers to the point where it affected her performance. We had the same umps for the first two pool games and then 2 additional tournament games. During the last game we got new umps and the lady ump put a stop...

    Drama

    :rolleyes:I hate drama. And I know there is no getting away from it in softball but OMG! My husband is coaching our youngest daughter in 8u this year. When he was picking positions I suggested he try his cousin's daughter at pitcher over our own daughter because she seemed to be more aware of...

    To speak up or not speak up?

    My daughter is on a 10u rec team this year after leaving a travel team (which is kind of still in limbo right now-but I digress). The girls are not bad players at all but the coaches don't seem to know much of anything. The girls don't know how to steal. They didn't even attempt to steal 2nd on...
