    What equipment do D3 colleges provide?

    They are going to start fall ball next week. I would imagine they would provide bags - unless they want 20 different travel team bags along the dugout .

    What equipment do D3 colleges provide?

    DD will be playing this year and we are wondering whether to buy her umpteenth new bat, cleats, etc.

    Ivy question

    My DD got a 35 on her ACT and we also thought that her Ivy choice would give her a spot. But at that point her score worked against her - the coach wanted her to get in on her own and walk on. The coach only had 3 spots for that year and my DD was further down her depth chart. Bottom line is...

    recruiting/verbal question

    Gotcha thanks!

    recruiting/verbal question

    Thanks JAD. So at the time a girl verbals, if it is before her senior year, financial terms are usually discussed but not binding. I assume there are countless stories about girls who were promised full rides when they verballed as 9th graders and then at signing time were offered something less?

    recruiting/verbal question

    Thanks. So until senior year none of the financial terms are agreed upon? Or are they discussed and agreed upon by handshake (and usually adhered to) but not set down in writing until senior year?

    recruiting/verbal question

    So my friend's dd (really) is getting wooed by a D1 coach. She will be a sophomore. Can someone please explain the finer points of timing a verbal commitment? Specifically, when exactly does a D1 school make a specific scholarship offer in writing? Before a girl verbals? Same time? Only after...

    Aroldis Chapman

    I wonder what the time difference is in softball for a liner up the middle - anyone know if it is faster or slower with a 60 MPH pitch from 43 feet vs. a 90 MPH pitch from 60?

    Prayers appreciated

    I have to say that if I am going to pray to the almighty creator of the universe it will for world peace or to end hunger or something but positive thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery for your DD!

    That sounds better thanks!

    14U ASA/USA nationals in Normal, IL

    Am I correct that this and the other ASA national tournaments are double elimination with no pool games? Seems like a lot of teams traveled across the country to play two games and go home.

    DD and Mask

    This discussion (argument) can be simplified. Let's try a cost/benefit analysis: First - seat belts: Cost: Takes 4 seconds to put on that you can spend doing something else. Benefit: Decreases likelihood of a ticket and of getting maimed or killed. Conclusion: Worth the time and effort. Face...

    Gotta brag a little...10U "Open" USSSA World Series Maryland

    We were in Salisbury also. Not sure what you guys are talking about - it was nice and cool where I was watching from (my car with the AC blasting)

    JJ - every minute BM spends giving an invaluable free video analysis of YOUR DD's pitching mechanics is a minute that BM will NOT spend giving an invaluable free video analysis of MY DD's pitching mechanics...

    Improved timing video

    DD has been working on the timing of her leg drive per BM and others' much appreciated advice. Now she looks better in the beginning... but still looks like she is getting on top of the ball from 12:00 down: http://youtu.be/dE8fb08XblY

    IR breakdown

    I agree - saying thanks is not enough. BM I completely understand what you are saying about her arm and shoulder - her motion always looked funny at the top and thanks to your post I understand why. I see the difference between Jill and KN in the timing of their leg drive...but as far as fixing...
