Lol...the cute and cuddly boys are one of the reasons why we started home schooling two years ago. The eighth grade boys began hitting on her when she was in the sixth grade. The rule here has always been that she is not allowed to date until she is 16 or older dependent upon how responsible she...
I have already seen a couple of these teams advertising on the local papers forum looking for catchers, etc. We had already thought of this and have considered the option. Honestly, we would be happy with any team that has good coaching...even if she has to play outfield for a season (she likes...
In this case, I would stay where she gets the most mound time: Team A. You also have the benefit of good coaching and guaranteed play time....win..win.
We had our daughter go up an age group this year. She was eligible to play 12U this past spring, but we put her on the 13-15 team. Had we kept...
It did have us a little on edge the not throwing a ball for 6 weeks thing: We invested nearly $300 before she threw one ball..talk about blind faith. We had been looking everywhere for a coach locally and couldn't find anybody. DD and I went to visit a friend who lives in NW Louisiana and has a...
Yeah, we do know that. Sadly, she hasn't had the luck your daughter has: It's more 50/50. Last season the entire team's relationship eroded to the point that by the end of the season only two or three of them were even speaking to one another (One parent was causing a LOT of trouble for...

We just watched some of Bill's videos on Fastpitch.Tv. Wow, what a great personality and super...
I think in our case part of it could be a height issue. I am 6'0", my husband 6'4", our sons are 6'5", 6'8", and our daughter 5'11" tall. A lot of time the parents that get stand-offish begin by telling us how great their daughter would be if she had our daughter's size. How it must be so much...
Thanks for the responses everyone. I'm glad that even though I am a definitely a crazy softball parent, I'm not blind and stupid too...lol. My husband spends A LOT of time practicing with our daughter (I am a good human target and that's about it) and also has spend hours watching instructional...
Hello,
So, I need some help. Our 13 y.o. has only been playing for 16 months and been with her current pitching coach for a year: He has actually pitched both baseball and softball and we are fairly happy with him. The first several weeks he taught her specific drills: When she mastered the...
