    Celebrating mediocrity

    Celebrating mediocrity

    Ok..my take I am a pretty hard nosed when it comes to athletics. I don't really get the everyone plays mentality when it comes to competition. Everyone doesn't get an A in their class for showing up why should it be any different for sports. Now if its recreation I can totally see why...

    t ball...suggestions for successful practice.

    Seriously do you think they actually do travel ball at 6??? I can't imagine!!!

    For everything else.. there's MasterCard.

    The problem when you bring these kinds of things up are everyone feels they have to defend why they have done things. This is the way I see it. If you have the money and you feel you should replace your dd or ds equipment every year and it doesn't negatively affect your family lives then do...

    awesome idea...thanks. The coach is clueless....he was thrust into this position and he is looking for any help he can get. I showed up with a tee, a net and a bucket of wiffle balls....he was thrilled. I told him I would help his as much as possible...really nice guy. My grandaughters...

    t ball...suggestions for successful practice.

    Ok any suggestions on how to run an effective, fun tball team. I was thinking to get alot of parent help and split kids up like so. 4 on the bases, throw balls to them have them throw to first...to start, then to second etc. 3 with one parent doing ground balls....no bat just throw 3...

    H.S. Freshman and Seniors

    tossing things your way.... what is your response

    1. Yes the high school coach has settled on one pitcher (she is the best at what she does, but as far as I am concerned we have 3 other pitchers, and we have non league games why not throw them then so just in case something happens he will at least know what they can do. One kid which is...

    tossing things your way.... what is your response

    Yeah....well I am staying out of it to be honest. But the team imploded last night!! I guessed he reamed the catcher first about 5 pitches she changed in the last double header and then proceeded to ream the Pitcher the five pitches she called were change ups, cause he never calls change ups...

    tossing things your way.... what is your response

    Yeah I talked to another coach today, her old high school softball coach, and he said same thing. He did say if the coach continues to give the girls a hard time about calling pitches they should talk to AD...only after they have made every effort to talk to the coach about the problem. They...
