    College and majors to stay away from??

    I know that when my wife was in college, they said never again would a nursing major be allowed to play volleyball. It was stressful for her, but she got through it.

    College and majors to stay away from??

    not at all. I know that certain things will be demanding. Not being through the process myself Im not sure what "can" be done and still play softball. Looking for things to stay away from. If she is dead set on a major, there is no way I, or she would let it get between that.

    College and majors to stay away from??

    We are a school first, softball second family. Just I know she wants to play, but want to make sure she doesnt end up failing because of a bad choice. She may have to give up softball depending on her major choice.

    College and majors to stay away from??

    Starting to look for a college for our daughter. Is there any majors that she should think twice about and playing softball? My wife is an RN and played volleyball and it was very difficult to keep up with clinical and all playing. Our daughter is typical and not sure what she wants to do...

    Parent pitchers question

    This is my main concern. It's time to be making college decisions. Seems when she pitches, they lose due to errors. Those defensive plays that seem to me easy, are missed.

    Parent pitchers question

    First half of the summer about 10%...last tournament of the season (6 games) she pitched one game(5innings) and relieved the last game (3 innings).

    Parent pitchers question

    First year 16u.....changing teams is an option, lower level would not be a challenge or prepare her for college. She did sub a few times last year with good success. Rec league not available in our area without 1.5 hrs travel.

    Parent pitchers question

    How many pitchers in travel ball just sub for other teams? If your a parent or player has it benefitted you? We are on a team that at the end of this season had 5 pitchers. That really limited the number of times my daughter pitched, that combined with the team just did not perform good...

    Cheating or Aggressive Base Running?

    oh my. coach should of appealed for 2nd base runner to be out. If this was an important game, I dont understand why we didnt go home to get outs?? Or at least get the second run coming in out. We usually have enough parents crying foul that the coach catches on...lol.

    illegal pitches?

    at our level I would take my chances and believe have better odds. The team that played used that one pitcher until everything was over.

    illegal pitches?

    lol...not me, I had nothing to do with the game other than watching. And that first part of your statement is opinion and debateable. If no advantage why do it.

    illegal pitches?

    I knew of the USA rule, but not the USSSA rule. The tournament we were at was a Perfect Game tournament and it was illegal. ART 42. Leap Sec 1. A leap is an illegal pitch where the pitcher’s pivot foot fails to slide/drag on the ground and becomes airborne on the initial drive from the...

    illegal pitches?

    I would imagine you would be ok with doctored balls also with your way of thinking

    illegal pitches?

    her "talent" was illegal. Like I previously said when forced to be just somewhat legal, she lost her edge. More balls, and hits given up. Both games I watched were not runaway games, both were low scoring. Defense was great on both teams, so my question was never if one team or the other...

    illegal pitches?

    Thats the hard part, getting enforced.

    illegal pitches?

    Sure it could! Take the illegal pitcher out of the game, and its a whole different scenario. I raced for years, you could do wonders with an high horse illegal engine, as long as nobody cares.

    illegal pitches?

    thats my thinking..............so what would it take to get umps to actually enforce the rule(s)....... Its even worse at high school level.

    illegal pitches?

    aint that the truth...lol

    illegal pitches?

    I agree somewhat. But I can tell you, when she did try to be legal, she threw balls, missed spots and walked a few and kids got some hits. When she was illegal, 60 plus mph fastballs all day long at 14u level. I just think all should have to adhere to the rules and I like consequences, but...
