    Offer from School 1 and Interest from School 2

    The coach for the D3 school just called her and had a nice long talk with her. She is his number one recruit for her age group. He poured on the praise for her previous performances in games that he has been to. School 2 has not returned her phone call from earlier this week. Not sure if that is...

    Offer from School 1 and Interest from School 2

    School 1 is D3 while School 2 is NAIA. School 2 has stated that their is some money available but hasn't given a number. They did ask her to do an early school application so they knew she was interested, which has been done. We are assuming there is some interest, just need to know how much...

    Marriard - thanks for the wording. That call will happen today or tomorrow.

    Offer from School 1 and Interest from School 2

    We have gone through both schools, starting with academics to campus and the very last thing was softball. Softball doesn't matter if the school doesn't offer her degree. Both schools are pretty even although school 2 may offer some financial help where school 1 does not have ball money but will...

    Offer from School 1 and Interest from School 2

    They have not made an offer to anyone else yet. What you stated regarding the second school was my thought process as well.

    Offer from School 1 and Interest from School 2

    My Dd is a JR and a pitcher. One school made an offer last year but is now putting some pressure on her for a commitment. School 2 has expressed a lot of interest but no offer yet. Is it bad form to call school 2 and ask what their level of interest is? Both schools are great academic schools...

    Memorial Day Friday Check in 5/27/16

    We are supposed to play in a local college exposure tournament but it doesn't look like the rain is going to cooperate.

    Player Profile Queston

    There is a local college that does a camp on a monthly basis for both pitching and hitting. My daughter attends both sessions each month and that is the only instruction she receives. The camp is done in one hour increments with small coach/player ratios. When filling out the player profile...

    Protest vs protest

    We had a similar experience a couple of years ago in a USSSA tournament. A girl from a defeated team on Saturday suited up with another team on Sunday in the same tournament. The only difference was the TD, who was also the area USSSA director, knew about it and ok'd it. It took a lot of arguing...

    Cathcers signaling coaches after each pitch

    The pitchers are only allowed to throw fastballs unless they are ahead in the count and then they can throw a movement pitch. If it isn't spot on they have to go back to fastballs. There are usually only two coaches at the game and neither call pitches. The catchers call everything so they don't...

    Cathcers signaling coaches after each pitch

    My DD's 14u team has started having the catcher signal the coaches on each pitch if the pitch hit it's intended target or not. There were no standards given to the catcher, just whatever they think. In the team meeting after the game one of the coaches that has been keeping track will tell the...

    Cleats

    My DD (14) has the Ringors and loves them. We used to go through at least two pair a year and this is the second year for this pair and they are just now starting to show some wear on them. These will make it through the fall and she will get a new pair after the first of the year. They are...

    Tight shoulder

    14 yr old DD had a reduction in speed and control yesterday and later said her shoulder felt stiff and tight all through the game. Any thoughts on good safe ways to loosen it up and keep it there? I am thinking she isn't warming up enough before pitching (I'm not a coach so I haven't paid much...

    Classless or part of the game

    They played stellar defense and scored enough runs to send them packing.

    Classless or part of the game

    We faced a team this weekend that had put rocks in soda bottles and beat on the fence in the dugout all weekend. We finally played them Sunday and by the time my DD had pitched her third inning all but three had stopped. It didn't affect her and in fact it made her so mad she pitched better. I...

    Pitchers dealing with the heat

    We also use a product called rehydrate instead of the sports drinks.

    Pitchers dealing with the heat

    My DD (14) has had issues with this for as long as she has played ball. Once season starts we reduce any soda intake to just about 0. She drinks water all day every day, not just the day before or even a few days before a tournament. She has a frog tog that she puts around her neck every time...

    Does this exist everywhere? Am i crazy to think they should be removed? Am i wrong?

    I'm so glad my DD is past the cheering phase of the 12's and under. They still cheer just not the obnoxious ones. My girls always did the way to low bring it up a little higher chant. The only time I objected to a team's cheer was when a pitcher threw close to a batter and the chant turned to...

    Parent behavior

    I coached against a team in 12U where the head coach led the parents in being a douche bag. Parents were horrible to every team they played. They would laugh at girls if they were almost hit by a foul ball, if they made an error they were relentless. The coach after one game had his girls walk...

    DD hurt this weekend

    I have not talked to the girls at all. They have texted my daughter. The girls that were around her asked if coach ever said sorry "because we never heard her say it on the field." My DD said no and it spread as girls will talk. She is young and probably doesn't know what to do. I did text her...
