    Memorial service for Scott Sarginson

    Scott passed away the week before Thanksgiving. He was a great coach, friend, and mentor to many in the softball community. A memorial has been scheduled, details quoted below were posted by his daughter Kelly Welch, on his Facebook page. Any updates would presumably be posted there as well.

    Thnk we're done.

    After several weeks of tearing it up in tryouts, when to all appearances all the passion and love of the game that have been leeched out of her the last few seasons, she told me she's not going to do this anymore. She's had a trail of cr@ppy coaches, kept thinking this time maybe we found...

    D.F.P. Says to Discuss Friday check in! 8/14/15

    Sounds like a sausage fest.

    Need advise about travel ball!

    Credit where credit is due man, that forum has done wonders for girls lacrosse. ;-)

    Things you think you might mention on your tryout notice....

    Hey come on now, Ben Fical is a great coach.

    Best thing about staying on the same team for next season...

    You don't have to cut grass that hasn't been watered since January.

    Hitting advice from a college camp

    Clearly, you're not involving your ego in enough decisions. You'll never make it to D1 coaching thinking like that. ;-)

    Pulling a kid mid inning

    Every good coach has a favorite punching bag.

    Pulling a kid mid inning

    I'm more than a little curious how the coach selected just one player to pull in #1.

    Friday Check in 8/7/15

    More tryouts. Hopefully more appealing oppty's than last week. At least she's been doing well.

    Friday Check in 8/7/15

    With any luck, a few of them won't be Black Widows.

    My random thoughts on PGF Nationals

    Disagree on principle with #9. IMLE, there are plenty of males involved in the sport that may need to make us of said container, though apparently few do. ;-)

    Wisdom teeth

    Had all four of mine out at 15. Only about 2 days of genuine pain, but I reacted badly to the codeine and had to gut it out. In that state, I would not have been able to function athletically, might have been possible for others with the meds.

    Who is trying to log in with my username?

    In an only slightly related note, without a smattering of crappy coaches and dysfunctional parents, it would have been a lot harder coming up with passwords the last 6 years.

    Framing gone wild!!

    An extreme example, but no less comical than most attempts to pull the ball back into the zone.

    Bat boy dies

    The Giants changed the minimum age to 14 after that, because it illustrated exactly what you say. The little guys charge blindly out there to do their job, with no situational awareness.

    Its Monday and I have madness

    You mean she has only eaten fresh-caught fish. ;-)

    Don't be that team....

    Well, the coach announced that all positions are up for grabs, but I may be tangled in semantics. I still believe that having your girls in practice uni's will work against you if your goal is to get more girls from outside to come to tryouts. I may be wrong, and that may not be their goal.

    Don't be that team....

    Tough question. "acceptable" in the sense of the thread is almost anything that I think is being said in good faith. Pragmatically, DD might not wait that long, but we wouldn't hold it against the org if they are clear about their time frame and seem honest and forthright. In reality, if you're...
