    The End Of The Road

    I was thinking of this for a few weeks. The end is near. DD's last time she will play softball will be this weekend tournament. She had her last team practice last night. It was kind of odd because it didn't feel like the last of anything. Even during the hr drive back home. DD started...

    Switching Teams Early?

    The Spring season is around the corner for us. We played two round robin type tourneys, but won't be playing any trophy tourneys for about a month. Some issues have surfaced and DD is having a hard time with her current coach. More of a personality conflict than anything. She had a horrible...

    HS Teammates--Weekend College Rivals

    I'm not sure how often this happens in your neck of the woods. Just saw this post on Facebook over the weekend. HS teammates, who now play in college in different schools, played against each other! Both were standout pitchers with one taking her team to a state championship. Klicker (...

    FS: Black Nokona Buckaroo 12" LHT

    I wasn't aware we could sell stuff on this website. I have too many Nokona gloves. This black Buckaroo I purchased about 1 year ago. LHT. Used sparingly. Never thrown to the ground. Always with a ball in the pocket in a small bag. Sells for $239. I'll let this one go for $180 shipped...

    Planning For 14U Nationals--Q

    One of the goals outlined in our schedule for Spring/Summer is to go to 14U Nationals. I'm a parent, so I'm wondering what does a team need to do to go to Nationals? I read somewhere else a local team is going and they need to fundraise to stay 7 nights in hotels--they won Western Regionals as...

    Floppy Nokona Glove

    DD's three year old Nokona is becoming floppy. She always has a ball in it in her bag. Never throws it. Gently places it down on the ground inside facing down. In this weekend's tournament she caught a fly ball in RF near were I was standing but as she did I saw her glove flop backwards and...

    OK Coaches, How Would You Address This One

    DD had an OK tournament this weekend. Hit at all at-bats, but only managed to get on base twice. No RBIs. Had one error in the OF, but her's wasn't the only one committed out there. She basically sat out the whole Sunday. Three games and we got 2nd place in the gold bracket. She feels like...

    't recThe Wagons/Carts--Which One?

    I'm about to break down and purchase a wagon or cart. Which one do you use and are there any you used that you don't recommend. I'm sure this has been asked before, but what I'm hoping to do is rule out the wobbly ones, or the ones that have failed. One season is enough, but another would be...

    Feedback On DD Swing--14 YO.

    ISO 2011 32/22 Xeno

    Looking for a 2011 32/22 Xeno for DD. Of all the bats she's used that was the best one with most pop. Too bad she broke it this past fall. I'd like to know if anyone knows of one for sale that is still NIW, or one that they want to sell that doesn't have the dreaded rattle. Thanks!

    ASA: Pickup Player Question

    Is there any way an player on a A team could be picked up to play on a B team? This is for a ASA tournament. Our #1 pitcher is out and we were set to go to Western Regionals. We are a B team. We found a pitcher and she was willing to play for us, but her coach said since she was on an A...

    Under The Ball--Make Small Adjustment, Keep The Back Foot Down

    DD's been struggling this year. New team. She does great at practice with hard line drives, and occasional bombs to the OF. In games she is almost always hitting the lower part of the ball. Could be the 3b coaches cues to slice the ball in half. Don't know. I was once told girls should be...

    Respect From Old Coach

    I was looking through some old ( last year ) photos and found a picture of DD getting intentionally walked. I remember the moment, but not the particulars. I believe the winning run was on 2 and the game was tied with time running out. DD's old coach called for an intentional walk. I was so...

    DD Quit As a Catcher

    A couple of days ago DD told me she no longer wants to catch. I kind of saw it coming, but was sadden as to why. She thinks she isn't a good catcher and would prefer to be an outfielder which she thinks she is better at. I tried my best to assure she was a good catcher and reminded her of all...

    Parent Needs Advice From Coaches On Something

    I'm seeking advice on how best to address something that occurred this past weekend during Sunday games. DD was not on roster to play defense/offense or DP. First game there were no substitutions. Second game we ( DW and I, and some other parents ) thought the other three players would see...

    4 Outs?

    So, yesterday I was talking to a friend who is also an AC of another team. He told me an interesting story. Runners on 2B and 3B. Batter flyball to center field and caught and runners tag up and advance one base. Batter makes it to 2B and starts to come back to the dugout, but 1B AC says to...

    CF6 Insane

    Anyone use one in a game and have feedback? Not looking for practice feedback. Price everywhere is $299.99, but with the 30 day no questions asked return policy might be something to consider. FWIW, I've never paid full retail, so this one is gonna sting a little. DD wants to try an end...

    A Little Bragging About Our Team

    Our team went 6-0 this weekend at a tournament called Ice Breakers here in SE Washington. Nail biters at the end of each day; 3-2 and 5-4. Every girl contributed and made great plays and got on base. I personally have to brag about my DD who was dirty all weekend long sliding into 2nd and...
