    Explain the difference in all the CO. Tournaments. IDT, Sparkler, Firecracker.

    I would have to disagree. My dd LOVES playing the top competition every week and IDT is a great tournament for that. Yes it cost $, but well worth it to us. I am sure there are many differing opinions.

    We saw several at our games in 16u IDT, but 14u IDT in Broomfield was loaded with coaches. Also, heard Sparkler Jr Power Pools at Erie had many coaches.

    High School Coach vs. Team Captains

    Your team captains will show themselves, no need to be assigned or voted on. Why "should it be a senior"? It ahould be whomever is a natural leader who steps up to take on the role and has/earns the respect of their teammates. Our "captain/leader" was undeniable last year and was a Freshman. She...

    Ground ball banana drill? Baseball vs. softball.

    "Drills cause major mechanical issues" Drills make fundamentals become natural. Do the the drills so when gametime comes the footwork and glovework is natural and instinctive. Drills do not cause issues, BAD DRILL WORK causes problems!

    No unofficial visits after August?

    This is before JR year and is part of a proposal being voted on. I am hearing that it will not be passed. However, seems most believe new recruiting calendar will be passed and will change some things. I believe you can find proposals on NFCA site.

    Verbal offers

    Always always be honest. College softball is a very very small world and all coaches talk to each other, even about prospects. Most likely coach already knows you have other offers.

    Verbal offers

    It against NCAA rules to offer in writing prior to signing day. A verbal is just exactly that, a non-binding verbal offer/acceptance. To answer another question,: you do not have to accept a verbal and can wait until Sr year when they can "officially offer" however you may find that many...
