    All-Star Game at CO Sparkler Jr

    It's a money grab. They send that invite to all the players signed up to play in the tourney and your DD may only get 1 inning in the game depending on how many other players pay to play.

    Winning 'B' Nationals means you should have been playing in the 'A' Bracket

    Not every player wishes to play A travel ball. I know many players who tried the travel ball route, hated it, quit for a while and went back to rec to play with friends. Doesn't mean that they suck as players. Travel is not for everyone. A ball is travel ball where I live.

    When I am not coaching I would be #9. But that's why I prefer to coach! I am a dictator at heart.

    Are there really leagues that draft completely from scratch every year?

    Our league drafts from scratch every year. We use evaluation day. Then coaches draft in a serpentine fashion with their daughters slotted in at the appropriate round according to their skill level.

    Poor sportsmanship

    It's obvious to my eyes that this catcher has done this before. With regards to the second time it happens to #4 I cannot say that I would have been as restrained as that young lady. Bravo to her.. She is a better woman than I was at that age.

    Cajun Coach

    I didn't see that game live but If you have the ESPN 3 app you can watch the replay online. That was quite an inning to be sure.

    What would you do? teammate using drugs and drinking

    I'm not sure why I am responding this post because it is illogical in its entirety but these last 3 sentences are hyperbolic in the extreme. I hope you don't expect the grown adults on this board to take seriously.

    How we got started...

    Growing up in Las Vegas NV I played softball in school in the 70's but it was nothing like it is in SoCal. We didn't wear helmets or cleats or sliders. We wore gym shoes and shorts. Our pitcher threw slingshot not windmill. No one cared about girls softball except the players. When I moved to...

    What would you do? teammate using drugs and drinking

    I hate zero tolerance policies. I am not advocating doing drugs, just offering some personal experience. My dad was a hippy pot smoker till the day he died. I was caught doing quaaludes as a senior in high school. 1979. It didn't stop me doing drugs. I just got smarter on how to hide it...
