    Showcase question

    DD started playing in her first showcase last night. It's being played out on two parks. Played last night had a few coaches from smaller D1s and a couple of D2s watching. So this morning we are at the other field. I have a feeling that the B teams are over here (although they played an A...

    Player Profiles - Showcase

    Not sure if this one should go in the playing college softball category, but... So DD's team has played two tourneys this fall. One other got rained out and they pulled out of one because several players had other commitments. Also played one friendly round robin (did not count toward stats -...

    2012 Diamond Sports All American College Showcase 16U - McKinney TX?

    Any of you all going to be at these events (Oct and/or Nov)? I noticed it is mostly teams from TX and OK, but there are a few teams coming in from other states and was curious of anybody that posts here will be at either. My DD will be playing, though it would be nice to say hello face to face.

    Is this reasonable or is just me?

    DD joined a team for the fall and they've been trying to get girls on the roster to finish it out so they can play (it is a 16U and a few are playing VB). In the interim she was trying out with a 14U A team in case things didn't work out with her current team (not playing is not an option). DD...

    Dilemma

    So DD joined a new team a month ago. She really likes the coaches hands on approach and the girls on this team. Sounds ideal, right? Well, a couple of weeks after she joins, a couple of girls leave. No big deal, replace them. The coach keeps a smaller roster because he wants the girls to...

    "Regular" vs Metal cleats

    DD is moving up to 16U next month. So somebody please learn me about the difference in foot wear.

    Has your DD every had a bad weekend as a pick up?

    DD picked up for a pretty good team this weekend and stunk it up. Well, she played decent defense, but had a lousy weekend with the bat. Her bunting was on, but she could not have hit the catcher if she stood up in front of her before the pitch got to the plate. Recorded a few of her swings...

    Clinic Recruiting?(for lack of a better title)

    So DD went to a "skills clinic" the other day. She is a 14U. It was a nice one that they had girls from 8th grade mixed in with girls up to 12th grade so we got to see her against some older girls which was kind of cool since she will be headed to high school this season. They all had...

    What to do, what to do?

    Just played the last tournament of the srping with DD's team. She has decided to move on to other opportunites (that have been memorialized on other threads). So, she has two offers. One from a decent B team. She loves the way the coach coaches. He is very hands on and genuinely cares about...

    Another how would you handle this thread...

    I have a situation...need input. DD plays 14U TB. Primarily played 2B most of her softball career, then some SS, and very little OF. We left a team and came to the team and org she plays for now because we were sold on "she would get the development she needs to play HS and college ball."...

    Being "Aggressive" in the box

    Throwing this out there...DD's coach is always talking about being aggressive in the box, which essentially means swing at every strike. So we having innings that are 3 pitch innings because the top of the line up will swing at the first pitch they see and get out in various fashion. DD is a...

    Does TB team matter for recruitement?

    I've been wondering about this one since not every girl that plays gets to be a national powerhouse team because of a variety or reasons. I would love to hear some opinions, especially from ex-players and parents of ex-players. There seems to a trend in the area that I live in for teams to be...

    Outfield - Letting Fly Ball Drop

    I could not even figure out what to title this thread. Does anybody know a good drill for an the fly ball that is hit to the outfielder that they let drop in front of them for a one hop instead of running through it for an easy catch? I see this happen fairly frequently on the 14U TB field. A...

    Ever have those days...

    When you wonder how DD is so hard headed and you wonder why you even bother? Then remember that she is only 14? (or insert your DD's age) Yes, this came out of a softball related discussion with her that involved the drop step and footwork (or lack thereof sometimes).

    Timed Games or 7 innings

    I am curious about something. The area I live in has a time limit for a bracket game of 75 minutes (pool games 60-65). I was chatting with another parent who has two daughters playing college ball (the third is playing 14U TB with DD). He was telling me that every tourney they played on the...

    Has anybody ever experienced "Daddy Ball?"

    DD plays 14U select ball. Been a mid-infielder for her entire softball career. Started off on a less competitive team and we moved up to an organization that was supposed to be good at developing talent. This team happened to be a newly formed team within this org so we knew there would not...
