    Brand new team, for us & them! Any way to feel secure?

    In the process of trying to find a 14U team nearby for my daughter we came across a brand new team that branched off from another team. The HC didn't go into much details but that the "insert team name" founder wasn't going to have a 14U team so him & the other coach broke off & created "Team...

    Good contact - but ball doesn't go very far... suggestions?

    My DD is 12U travel team. She makes contact most the time, but almost always stays in the infield & mostly right back to the pitcher. What can I work on with her to "muscle her up" to get those hits to go somewhere? Is it bat swing? Is it strenth? (lifting weights?) What can I do to help her...

    Makes contact - but doesn't go far... what to work on?

    My DD is 12 (12U travel team)... makes contact most the time, but almost always in the infield (majority are right up the middle - back to the pitcher). She can make good contact - just doesn't go anywhere. What can I do to muscle her up & make those hits go somewhere?

    Baserunning ?

    I know in a situation of: Runner on 3rd, batter walks - the batter can NOT round 1st & stop - she is out. She has to stay on 1st base or take 2nd immediatly. How about no one on the bases, same situation for the batter (walk) - are they still out if they round 1st & don't advance? I...

    Fall ball vs school basketball - which comes first?

    This is our first year in a higher competitive travel team (played on a travel team for previous 2 years but a very low game schedule & NEVER Fall ball) so this is the first year I am dealing with the conflict of Fall softball & School basketball. Is it a personal preference? Or does one take...

    vinyl type stickers or spraypainting your helmet

I contacted our athletic director for Jr High & he pointed to 2 websites (one was IESA and the other was NFHS.org) I searched & found nothing specifically stating anything about their batting helmets except it had to be worn while batting. We...

    Best way to "politely" bring this up to the softball board?

    We were approached at sign up about a traveling team, which I signed my daughter up for. (10 & U) I was never called or offically told there wasn't gonna be a team - I simply heard through another Mom that there wasn't. We only have 4 summer league softball teams that we play over & over... and...
