    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...

    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...

    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...

    "stud" player

    My DD went for her 1st ever tryout the other day. After a very crappy school ball season, of which she only caught 2.5 games, she is very rusty (and nervous). And this is a private tryout. So she is nervous and "scurrred" (in her words), but I don't think she did too bad. She was catching...

    wasted season

    I really try to see the positive in each season we play. Season 1 - fall, 10U, we are new and still learning Season 2 - spring 12U, again still new, but discovered the passion of softball. made lots of good softball friends. Season 3 - spring 12U, starts as C and LF, by the end of the season...

    Building a team

    I am a believer in "building" a team not "stacking" a team. I see a lot of teams in our area that are stacked or loaded with talent. Most of them have to refill their roster year after year. They may play really well together for the 1st season or so, but then all the players are off looking...

    May be something to this

    My DD was having a rough game catching last night. She was dropping everything and letting everything past her. We had had our last 2 games cancelled for severe weather or rain and all the girls were playing sloppy. DD let at least 2 pitches by her for steals at home. I normally sit on the...

    practice swings

    I have always heard that you cannot take practice swings in the batters box. Is this true? The only batters I have ever seen take a practice swing in the box is a newbie. The other night, the other team had 1 player that would get in the box, crouch down into a super low stance, and take 2-3...

    throwing the bat

    last season my DD was bad about letting go with one hand after a swing and the results was flinging the bat. She received several warnings and then an out in a game because of it. Hers was unintentional, but still throwing the bat. We broke her of it immediately after that tournament. The...

    what is legal for a walk

    I don't know if I phrased that right. I know that if 2nd base is open when the batter is walked, they can steal 2nd as long as they don't stop at 1st. BUT What if you have a runner on 2nd & 3rd, when the batter is walked? Can the runner on 3rd steal home?
