    Softball tip for the day....washing white pants

    My 6 year old son had white pants one season and he LOVES to slide. I took them to the car wash after every game. They came clean every.single.time. And we are in Oklahoma, where we also have red dirt. Such an amazing thing....

    Going to Interview for Varsity Softball Position Monday

    I often wonder what qualities our AC had to get her original position. (She promoted to HC when the HC went out for the season on personal and family medical issues.) Good luck to you!

    Opinion needed: Siblings in team photo

    Good point. But we don't have horses at our ball fields normally. All they had to do was turn the other way for the pictures. LOL. (Obviously, I had bigger issues with that team....)

    Brainstorming a fundraising tournament

    My oldest DD (who plays HS ball and is a now a 1st year 16U) is a girl scout. (Shhhh! Don't tell anyone. She is only staying in it because it will look good on college apps.) She has already received her Bronze and Silver awards and she is working towards her Gold. (I told her she could get...

    Opinion needed: Siblings in team photo

    We had horses in ours from last year. Much more annoying to me than a sibling (maybe?). There was a whole field to use to take pics and they back them up to the fences that had horses. Something wrong with the backstop?

    Showcase question

    What was the name of the team? We are an Oklahoma team and we have been lit up by a lot of bigger girls.

    Sprained wrist on glove hand

    I have a very similar approach to sports injuries. Plus I spent 4 years in high school as an athletic trainer (way too many years ago to count). And I agree that if I took DD1 (freshman SB) or DS1 (senior FB) to the doctor everytime they complained something hurt, we would be there at least...

    Gameface in MLB?

    I got my 10U DD a wilson facemask last year at 8U since they had her at the pitcher spot and she was scared of the ball all of a sudden. She would then stay in her spot and not run from the ball. In one game, she took 3 balls off that mask. She wouldn't have made it past the first one without...

    Pre-season guarantees

    When my DD was a 2nd year 12U, we were debating on which way to go with her team. She wanted to move up with her friends on the 14U team, but she was a young 12's. The 14U coach gave me the number to the 12U coach. When I called, I asked her if my DD would get to play infield. She promised...

    Catcher's helmet causing a rash???

    I never thought of ringworm. NICE! She does not share her helmet, all of our catcher's have their own gear. I'll call the dr. Thank you!!

    Catcher's helmet causing a rash???

    It's Oklahoma. It's summertime. It's hot. Rashes are common. I got that. DD is 14. We got her a new helmet at the end of last spring's ball season. She used it about a month, then went to school ball, where she didn't catch many games. We lugged the gear to several tryouts and practices...

    Prayer circles after games

    If our coach wouldn't have told me what the girls were doing, I would have never known. It looks like a pre-game huddle, near the dugout in right/left field

    playing against former team

    DD1 has played her former team (that her bff still plays on) 3 times so far this season. We are 1-2 against them currently, but will probably play them again this weekend. DD's struggle is that even though the old team has a new head coach, the assistant coach was her coach for 2 seasons, and...

    Prayer circles after games

    DD1's team does a prayer circle pre-game, but it is only our girls. This is the first team we have ever been on to do something like this. And we do live in the Bible Belt.

    So hard fitting in

    I was sitting behind the plate at this game. I did this all the time when she first started to catch and I was only there this game because I was using a pole to block the sun from my eyes. I only called her over as she was heading back to the plate, which was in my direction. Other than...

    So hard fitting in

    My DD is on her 1st ever official TB team (2nd year 14U). We had never done the route of try outs, so all of this was new to us. We found a really good team. Not good as in 1st place finish in all tourneys, but good in the sense that all of the girls have the passion and desire to play. It...

    Just general ranting - I hate shopping for teams

    I always referred to DD as homeless as we were searching for a team. We tried out with a team last Sept. Practiced with them. Coach basically said you are decent, you can come play with us, but I am holding out for my "stud" catcher to finish up basketball season. DD played a tourney with...

    Missing First Tourney

    My oldest DD (14U) has had 2 tourney's and 2 rec games so far. DH has seen 1 tournament game and 1 rec game. In his defense, he has been at work, or just coming off duty (as a fireman). Tomorrow, I am leaving just as he is getting home for a 1 day out of towner.

    Boys in a Girls League

    I am the one that plans on fielding an all-girl baseball team. My youngest DD is 2. Here the t-ball fields are nicer at the baseball park than the softball one. I think the baseball umps we have are better with the kids than the ones on the softball side. That and I think little hands will...

    Friends Influence Not Always Good

    My DD has 2 best friends. 1) she has been bff's with since 3rd grade. This girl is not into sports, but is very musically gifted. The girls are in orchestra together. And her bff will come to watch DD play, but I KNOW she really doesn't understand the game, but she is there for support...
