    Any update of Neoprene Flapgate?

    So why not just fix it? In my opinion I have to believe she has tried but it is not there yet. I am sure it is a little embarrassing to wear that. I also have to believe coach understood all the negatives that would follow but had to do it because they could not fix it. Oh I bet they tried. The...

    Building an outfielder/outfield

    As they get older, and balls start to go farther, teaching them to analyze their playing area is key. Knowing where the fence is, width of warning track (in any), strength of fence, will a ball go under the fence, any holes or ruts in the field, foul territory, glares from the sun or other...

    Fun practice ideas

    Okay I have just realized that I will only have about six or seven of my 14u girls at practice tonight. We are in the high school gym so we cannot use bats or hard softballs. Softies and tennis balls only. I usually run a very structured practice changing the focus of the drill every 15 minutes...

    Safety/Quick Release Bases

    Doing some research on different types of bases. Currently our complex does not have break away bases but looking into adding them for a safety factor. What are the pros and cons of the different types? We have been at some tournaments where they are constantly fighting to keep them on and...

    As our fall season winds down, thinking of ways to better ourselves over the winter. I have been looking at the mental conditioning programs - John Kelly, Brian Cain, one pitch warrior, etc. Has anyone used one of the programs on the market today and what did you like/dislike about it. We are...

    Anyone else catch the sick Xeno / LXT prices on Amazon?

    While not as popular, you can pick up 2014 Mizuno White Outs for as low as $31 new on Amazon. Not all sizes this low but the 33/24 end load is. Thinking this for a cage bat at that price.

    Need a new bat pack - but which one???

    DD had the older model Demarini VooDoo bat pack, which she loved but it finally wore out. So we purchased the new version. It is smaller, has less compartments and tore out in two weeks.....ughhh. For those that use bat packs, what is your suggestion or opinion?? Thanks!!

    What's the Worst Thing An Opposing Team Did?

    Just last weekend....argument breaks out in the stands. Guy throws lady down the bleachers, fists fly. Guy removed from ball park, TD tells him go to McDonalds and come back later to get dd and whoever. Oh - they are all on same team! Kids are crying, etc. TD talks to coach who says they threw...

    Hit or error?

    First pitch, batter pops up just on the foul side of first base. Fielder is in position but the ball pops out of her glove - foul ball. Pitch two batter singles to LC. Is this still recorded in the book as a hit or error since batter should have been out on the pop up. It created an interesting...

    Safe or out?

    Runners on 1st and 2nd, one out. Batter hits slow grounder between pitcher and SS. Pitcher fields the ball. SS and runner from 2nd tangle up. Pitch throws to 3rd, batter called out on force. Base Coach tries to argue SS was in the wrong. Blue says she was going for the ball (which never passed...

    Xeno Break-In Period?

    DD's first Xeno (to go with the RT and D insane) lasted one week before the rattle came.......on it's way back to LS........very disappointing! Edited for return update: Bat was shipped on Thursday to LS via UPS, received replacement the following Wed via UPS. I must say I'm impressed with the...

    Do you bunt or hit away?

    Bunt - defense might be a little nervous a potential for error is there! Have to move them - IMO
