    U10 players playing U14!!!!?????!!!!!!

    One thing to consider is the safety of the players. 9 and 10 years old playing against 13 and 14 year old players could be a safety factor for some. How are the players skills and reflexes? How good are the 14U teams they may face? I thought it was a pretty significant jump from 10U to 12U...

    Wrist Pain

    Yes, my daughter had wrist pain list year, likely from pitching a little too much, while at the same time learning new pitches (those requiring wrist rotation). Diagnosed as tendinitis. Treatment was rest and physical therapy. She still does wrist exercises to avoid re-occurrence. Good luck.

    CF7 vs CF8?

    Thanks for all the feedback. Probably going to let her pick between the CF8 -10 standard balance or Hope limited edition. My understanding is it is the same bat with slight different end caps, and different graphics.

    CF7 vs CF8?

    My daughter wants the 2015 DeMarini CF7 -10. She has tried a teammates and seems to like it more than her Xeno. Before I go and buy the CF-7, I was wondering if there is considerable difference between the Cf-7 and CF-8. Pop?, durability, etc. Thanks

    Wrist Tendonitis

    11 year old DD was just diagnosed with tendonitis in the wrist. Has taken the last week off, and will do so again this week. Was pitching pretty heavily before that. Has anyone else experienced this? Any idea on recovery time? Thanks

    You Know Your Daughter Plays Fastpitch if . . .

    You come home late from a night of drinking with your friends and tell your wife, "Your going to find this hard to believe, but we spent most of the time talking softball." Her response "I don't find that hard to believe at all, that's all you talk about here."

    Sportsmanship

    I've had the tunnel done to us twice, once at 10U and recently at 12U. Hated both. The last one came after giving up two runs in the top of the last inning to lose by 1 in the semi-finals. Game was a heart breaking lose, but I had my team line up and respectfully shake their hands and...

    Sliding while wearing shorts?

    Highly recommend padded sliding shorts that go under the uniform shorts, and a knee pad on the leg they tuck underneath when sliding.

    Heart Stopped by Pitch

    Our league requires all board members to complete CPR training, including the use of a defibrillator. We have a board member on duty for each game. We also have a defibrillator on hand at our fields.

    Softballs for rec league and travel tournaments, advice wanted.

    Just finished up a league board meeting, and we were discussing equipment needs for the coming season. We've had varying success with the balls we have used over the last few years and was hoping to get some input from others. Last year we spent about $35 per dozen for use during the recreation...

    When to pump them up and when to relax

    I didn't think you were limited to just 1 trip to the mound in softball before you need to change pitchers, I thought it was four trips during the whole game. I need to check my rule book.

    pitching coach conflict

    If she was recruited for the team and using their PC was an expectation, I think that should have been conveyed by the HC at the time she was asked to join the team.
