    Helping a very raw DD#2

    I have been on this forum for a very long time. It was a tremendous help for me and now DD#1 just wrapped up her first fall as a college player. DD#2 has decided she wants to give softball another try. She played one season in 6U and didn't like softball. She got bored because she did not know...

    Advice for every parent and player out there.

    Soak it up. Not just the good times but the challenges as well. I know this has been said many many times but do not take a day for granted. DD is a senior this season and she is winding down her HS career. Last week at regionals we were 6 outs from watching her play in HS for the last time...

    Stay and Play question

    This isn't bashing all stay and play events. I understand the desire of directors to use this system and I have actually had good experiences with a couple of companies that handle bookings for tourneys. Specifically everything we hace played with Triple Crown and the D9 in Orlando. May question...

    DD's return to the game

    DD has been out since Feb 13th due to a broken ankle and the surgery to fix it. April 2nd she was told May 16th was the target date for a release. This news was rough on her because it meant she would miss the entire season. Once she started PT she pushed herself and was always ahead of...

    HS Championship sites

    There is a pretty big debate in Alabama over the host site of our state championship tourney. It is held at Lagoon Park in Montgomery which is basically a men's slow pitch park. Infields are cut into what would normally be the OF for fastpitch and they use the wonderful plastic 4' temp fences...

    HS Ball rolling along

    DD got her season off to a great start Monday. First AB of the year was her first varsity HR. She finally got her first ever last fall and has really looked forward to getting school ball going so she could get her first for her HS. She is getting frustrated now because since she hit the HR...

    Finish the swing.

    That's what we have preached for a year or so. DD hits lasers through the IF and into the gaps but most seemed like she just about stopped at contact like she was slapping. Monday night she had the chance to work out at a local DI for a small clinic that was thrown together at the last minute to...

    Sorting through camp invites

    DD is playing her 2nd year of 14U. She has been doing a good job communicating with coaches and our team has been active in doing so as well. The camps invitations are overwhelming and at times it is hard to decide what is real and which one she will be just a $ maker. It is easy when she has a...

    Showcases this past weekend

    I wanted to see where everyone played this weekend and how the coaches attendance was. We played in the 14U Super Pools at the Scenic City and I was not impressed with the turnout. Even games between great teams had less than we were drawing this past summer at the Legacy. Did one of the other...

    PGF vs. ASA

    We just returned from ASA 14U Nationals in Chattanooga last week. From playing ASA events the past few seasons I have come to realize what an impact having competing national events has done for the game. I feel like ASA has stepped up their game to draw as much interest as possible. I was very...

    Need help with the next step

    DD plays for a team where the #1 pitcher is actively being recruited by a D1 school. Through out last week at nationals one or two of their coaches were at every single game. I found out on Thursday that they were actually coming to see DD. She was lucky enough to catch their eye thanks to a...

    College coaches at ASA Nationals

    How is the turnout of college coaches at ASA 14U Nationals? I had heard there used to be a good crowd but going head to head with PGF probably impacts it. I am hoping having August 1st fall on the Tuesday of the event helps since the 50 day restriction on recruiting will be lifted under the new...
