    Hmm, interesting. Does she have a verbal commitment or signed a LOI with a D1 yet?

    Announcing Tryouts for DFP Diamond Elite

    What are your thoughts about my team joining your organization? No need for try-outs, as I have already recruited the best 10u players from around the world. My players egos are only matched by their parents. You should know that we only play up. Now I'm not going to BS you, 23u might be a...

    Umpire Obstruction

    Watching an ASA game at a tournament this weekend. Field Umpire out of position obstructs the base runner heading to third who then gets thrown out at home. PU and FU have a long discussion, awards runner third base.... "Wait, what?"

    Is this bad sportsmanship on my part?

    First off, nods to you for working with your daughter and doing the extras to help her reach her goals. I wish more parents were like you. However, beating down a rec team is not cool, this is for development especially at 10u. I've seen girls cry when the have to face pitchers with heat...

    kids crying wolf

    Unfortunately there are creepy people out there, and there are people who will say anything, baseless or not. My question is what steps can be done to insulate against false accusations in the future? There were a couple good suggestions in this thread. Are you going to enact a policy were...

    Mandatory Face Masks

    This has me thinking. What happens when in the middle of a long tournament weekend, a girls facemask breaks. Do people carry spares?

    Mandatory Face Masks

    I can't help but wonder if this same type of argument went on way back when they mandated batting helmets and catchers gear? Batting helmet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Would like suggestions for what parents should bring to tournaments.

    a pillow, for between game naps.

    Hope she is OK (both physically and mentally), please send her our best wishes.

    What are your unwritten rules?

    When the coach goes to the mound, the pitcher should hold the ball until asked for by the Coach (when getting pulled). Base runners never enter the pitching circle when going back to the dugout. Don't tag a runner by pushing them.
