    Practice Structure

    I don't think anyone said the complaint wasn't valid. If a person feels strongly enough to complain, the complaint is at least valid to them. The coach may argue difference of opinion or style as to the practice plan - wich could be good discussion. The point is this was NOT an annonymous post...

    Practice Structure

    Questioning the coaches practice plan, the treatment of their own DD (granted most if not all coaches could improve in this area) ......"Beyond Frustrated" "UUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH" and people local to you on this board know you and the organization but you think your post wasn't bashing the...

    Practice Structure

    Greg - When is your DD's first Tournament? Probably going to see that kind of practice as you approach tournament season - especially if this was the last practice before DD's first tournament. I guess you took down your avatar because you realized that the bashing you are doing of your DD's...

    Travel Ball Parent Confessions

    you all are still assuming an out at second. IMO that is a bad assumption and the downside of not getting that out is huge. A really good 12u catcher/ss maybe makes that play 50% of the time even against the slow runner you describe. If you throw to second you are trading a run for a 50% shot at...

    Travel Ball Parent Confessions

    You are assuming an out at second. If she hasn't thrown down in that situation all year why would you try it for the first time in the last inning at Nationals? The opposing coach didn't put a pinch runner in because they were trying to bait a throw to second! What happens if the ball is thrown...

    Multisport Athlete - Are they really wanted?

    SBFamily - Probably more balance in life playing two sports in DIII than playing two Travel Sports! Some good ones (academics and athletics) on the same side of the Mississippi as you - Salisbury, York College of Pa, Emory, Christopher Newport etc. Rooster98 - Thanks for the story. These are...

    Multisport Athlete - Are they really wanted?

    Thanks SBFamily. Sorry Sparky Guy - I respectfully disagree. They are 12 and 13 years old. We want them to identify themselves as athletes capable of playing any sport they choose. We don't want them identifying themselves as an SB or VB anything else player at this age. We have seen the...

    Multisport Athlete - Are they really wanted?

    Thanks Chinamigarden - Funny you mention pole vault. They are both considering indoor track instead of basketball during the winter so they can do high jump, hurdles and pole vault. Older girl from their old gymnastics gym got a D1 scholarship after only pole vaulting a couple years in High...

    Multisport Athlete - Are they really wanted?

    Thanks RubberBiscuit - they are not pitchers - thankfully. Agree that pitching is its own full time sport. Glad to hear there is hope if we can get past this season. No chance they make the High School VB team without playing travel (30+ cut last year and many played travel). Softball here only...

    Multisport Athlete - Are they really wanted?

    Warning - lot of background her before the questions at the end. We have two daughters that play mulitple sports with Softball being their main sport..... until recently. Mom and I were multisport athletes and collegiate athletes. We are starting to run into problems as they are 14U and 12UA...
