    Easton Dugout Catcher Bag (Embroidery Panel)

    Does anyone have a blank embroidery panel for a black Easton Dugout Catcher bag? Apparently Easton doesn't sell them, and I would love to not have to buy a completely new bag for our new team. I tried removing our old embroidery and I sliced a hole in the panel... :( Thanks!

    Waivering players down

    That's the one! Yep, sounds like the team has been playing with the older girls all year. The big problem I had was that the assistant director told our coach he knew about it, they approved the older girls, and if we didn't like it, we would forfeit our game.

    Waivering players down

    Have any of you heard of a tourney director allowing waivers of kids down into lower age classes? My daughter’s 8u team played a machine pitch tournament today, against the host team. The host team had 2 10-year olds. When challenged by our coach, they didn’t even deny it, instead they argued...

    Pitching Strategy - Alternate in Game?

    Background: We are a 12U team and have two pitchers, who are very similar in speed. One is a righty, one is a lefty. The lefty is a bit lankier and has more deceptive speed. The righty has better control and hits her spots better. Both are great position players as well, and like playing in the...

    Helmets that work with sunglasses

    My 11 y/o is pretty new to catching (< 1 year) and is using a Wilson helmet (C1K maybe?). For the first time since starting catching, she was staring directly into the sun in our last tourney game. The helmet has pads right at the temples, so she can't wear sunglasses with it. Which helmets do...

    Why aren’t there 11u divisions/competitions?

    Michigan, not what I’d consider a softball hotspot...

    Why aren’t there 11u divisions/competitions?

    Saw this post and thought it was ironic, because we have a tourney this weekend and there are 15 11U teams in it! I’ve never seen an 11U bracket so big!

    Catching at Pitching Private Lessons

    Haha I know, right? If I had known catchers get paid I would have made her start years ago! ;) Good luck to your daughter, hope she’s enjoying it!

    Catching at Pitching Private Lessons

    Awesome, thanks everyone for the advice. This pitching coach is really good with teaching the girls the strategy of pitching to a hitter. So besides getting catching reps, my daughter is really learning what pitches and locations to call for depending on the situation.

    Catching at Pitching Private Lessons

    My 11 y/o switched to catching at the end of the season, and has really taken to it. I've started taking her to catch at one of our pitcher's private lessons a couple times a week. We are not paying the private coach (pitcher's parents are), we are just piggy-backing off the lessons to get reps...
