    Batting Out of Order

    Here's the USSSA rule: If I'm reading this right, the other team would have had to appeal it prior to the first pitch to the #8 batter (batting 2nd). Once she (the #8 batter) took one pitch, and if the other team would have appealed, then the #9 batter would come back up to bat with the...

    Duties of a bucket dad/mom during tournaments

    Started using GameChanger this season; seems to keep me more occupied. As far as my daughter, the only thing is videotaping her at bat when she requests it. The only time she requests it is when she's in a slump and wants to know why.

    Novice stats question

    Back when I had younger girls (10U & 12U) and published stats (ugh), I always included a stat right next to AVG, OBP, SLG, and OPS: CON = (PA - K - BB) / PA Essentially it told me which batters were looking to make contact when they stepped to the plate, and which were looking for a walk.

    Good or bad etiquette?

    Preface: Since this is being considered a regional thing, I'm a stone's throw from KCPRK Going thru the dugout during the handshake - bad etiquette Going thru an OF gate during the handshake to shag fly balls - if you feel your team really need that extra 4 minutes. That being said, if it's...

    Can a player play down?

    As far as I remember, she cannot 'play down' just like the PA Director says... However, up until the time that rosters are frozen (which is usually sometime in June as Humpty said) you can remover her from the 16u team roster, put her on the 14u roster, then switch her back after the...

    Softball Christmas ideas

    My DDs use the Jugs 5-point hitting tee. The only problem we've had in 4+ years is the tube is starting to split. Which brings me to a question for Ken (sorry to threadjack)...
