    Are New Balls Slick?

    I’m not even sure about that. These dicks balls are probably 3 years old and the Rawlings are less than a year. Yes- now that I know better I will buy better balls.

    U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes

    11.75u has a nice ring to it for fall ball.

    Are New Balls Slick?

    Those are the ones my daughter rejected. They are developing weird pits in them.

    U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes

    You’ve read the responses about the late birthday kids not being able to play with their school friends and getting screwed when school ball starts - they are too old for club and to low of a grade to play in school and you still don’t get it? Why are three months of kids separated from their...

    34" Bats

    What height is reasonable to move to a 34” from a 33”? I have an almost 5’9” 14yo whose cage bat is a 33 -9 but game bat is 33-10 just wondering when it breaks if it makes sense to try a 34”.

    Are New Balls Slick?

    I have been ordering different balls. I noticed my daughter put all of the Rawlings balls I got on Black Friday into the hitting bucket when I just got her some Dudleys to try. They have to be a bad batch though as the outside is peeling off in a way I have not seen before. So just based on...

    Alo playing for the Savannah Bananas

    Pretty cool opportunity for Jocelyn Alo! Nice to see more opportunities past college to showcase softball players. https://www.koco.com/article/jocelyn-alo-savannah-bananas-contract-ou-oklahoma/60619005

    Drop in velocity

    I have a solution for you- mail me your radar gun and I will safe keep it for you while you take a break 🤣 The gun will also find a new appreciation for 57mph here.

    Extra Inning Team Rankings

    I always wondered why there were no Labrador Retriever teams. Nobody has more fun playing with balls than labs.

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Plus as a pitcher mom- those tiny kids make throwing strikes way harder!

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    My daughter is right at the Dec cut off. She didn’t love not getting to play with her friends and always being the youngest- but skill wise she got an extra 14u year before highschool try outs and is ahead of most of her classmates skill wise. Now she will tell you that it wasn’t as fun but it...

    Getting from 9 o’clock to 12 o’clock ?

    I would guess that for girls in the 10-14 age range that most of the questions here seem to originate from - they can see themselves more in a female pitcher - and it’s easier to think about replicating their movement. Just like you don’t see little league boys being told to hit like Alo. When...

    What’s in your first aid kit?

    Spin off- but what do you carry to games. I’m pretty basic. I have a few instant ice packs, bandaids, gauze, vet wrap, ibuprofen and Benadryl. Plus feminine supplies. I believe vet wrap can fix most things temporarily- but curious what others pack.

    Player safety when injured

    Yikes! We have a nurse parent on our team that handles most injuries and also does the book and is always there. In this situation it should have been an immediate call to 911 imo. It’s not reasonable to expect a parent to be there at all games. Scary to think there are not better...

    NAIA ruling on Transgender athletes

    I’m guessing the coding is a lot easier to use they for all sports. Probably some 45 year old guy playing softball got called she and a case of bud didn’t shake the feeling and he demanded a fix - so they changed it for all sports.

    Improving consistency

    This photo is super helpful!!! Thank You! Looking at this it appears she has decent upper arm brush- but a little too much elbow bend so is missing lower arm brush- there’s a gap between her forearm and thigh - and she’s whipping around in that space rather than forward through it. I really...

    Ideas and tips for tournament weekend energy food

    We usually start the day with eggs (at home usually an evol breakfast burrito from Costco). Then bring turkey sandwiches and some fruit and veggies and some crap - cause you have to have some fun. One mom on our team makes the best banana bread and brings it every weekend. The girls love it...

    Improving consistency

    That’s really helpful! How do you balance getting the arm to the side without getting the elbow stuck behind the back? I think that’s the space she’s stuck in. She goes from getting it stuck behind her back to too far away when she tries to fix it.
