    Who gets the error??

    No outs, nobody on. Short infield pop fly dropping 4 feet in front of the baseline, in the 3-4 gap. Pitcher is going back to make the catch, second is moving in to make the catch, neither one calls the ball. Both sense the collision coming at the last second, pitcher stops, ball goes in to...

    Pitching Strategy

    My DD just started playing 10u travel ball about 6 months ago. She was a very dominant pitcher in rec, but as you all know, travel ball is a completly different animal. I am the AC on the team, and I call all the pitches during games. First off, here's what I'm working with. DD has three...

    A scary reminder

    My 9yo DD was pitching last night. We were home team up 6-1 with 2 outs, nobody on, and two strikes on the batter. She had dominated the whole game, and it looked like we were about on our way home. Next pitch got drilled back at her and dropped her like a rock. Watching from the dugout, it...

    Illegal pitch and my big mouth...

    10u rec game, the ump calls time on the second pitch of the game and has me come out to the mound. He says my pitcher is throwing an illegal pitch because she is taking the mound with the ball in her glove, not in her hand. I didn't think he was right, but I wasn't going to sit there and argue...

    8yo DD power problem

    8yo dd has been pitching for a little over a year. She is really into it, and throws almost everyday. She pitched in spring last year in 8u and all stars, then in 10u for fall ball with her older sister. She struggled at first in 10u, but was holding her own with the older girls by the end of...

    U of A vs. NPF Allstars

    We took our 10u team to the game tonight, and what an experience! The NPF team dominated the game 9-0, but none of that mattered. After the game the entire NPF team set up at tables and signed autographs for almost two hours. They were incredible with the girls, talking about what position...

    Candrea on Playing vs. Competing

    From Candrea's ASA column he writes called Candrea on Coaching. Pretty solid point. Playing vs. Competing written by Coach Mike Candrea Have we developed a system that has created an unintended consequence in player development? I can honestly say that kids are playing many more games over a...

    Best camera/video editing software?

    So my Kodak films 720p at a miserable 30fps. I need to get a new camera with a much better framerate. What are you guys using for filming your hitters and pitchers? I've also been using Hypercam for my video capture/slomo software. It works ok for slowing down video for frame by frame, and...

    Rule about jersey numbers?

    Getting ready for fall ball, and we were letting the girls choose their numbers for their jerseys. So one girl wants 44 and one wants 77. I guess the question is, is there a rule against this? I could care less, I just honestly have no clue if this is a problem or not, but I guarantee if it's a...

    field condition rule?(plus a little sour grapes)

    8u all star tournament, second game of the day on this field. The hosts decide to rework the field between games by SOAKING the whole thing down. We were home team, so when I walk out with our pitcher so she can throw her warm up pitches, there is a pool of standing water in front of the...

    Help with a rule please

    This happened in our 8u game last night. Line drive to SS, she fields it and guns it to first. FB has to jump to get it and comes down with the ball in her glove on the base with the runner about two steps in front of the base. Starts to bring her glove down and she drops the ball. The runner...

    Parent problem..Input please

    I have come across a very sticky situation on my 8u team this year, and I'm not quite sure how to deal with it. We have a girl that is playing softball for the first time, and she is actually showing a lot of potential. She has gone from standing watching balls that are four feet away from...
