She has been doing this since jr high ball, now going into her soph yr. All of coaches have...

    USSSA vs PGF

    I agree here. the PGF director here in Florida really stepped up the competition. I really enjoyed seeing the best 14u only tourney or a 12u only tourney compete for prizes like every player gets a ghost and/or 2nd place every gets brand new gloves. I also like the fact the PGF TD is working...

    Background checks are needed for Travelball coaches

    I would like to see some national orgs and state orgs take on this issue. Use the fall season to discuss between organization board members and coaches. Maybe even have an advocate attend a practice or game and just chat with the players away from the coaches for just 15mins.

    National Travel Programs

    PGF vs. ASA

    My DD played in the 12U Nationals in Spartanburg SC. I thought this ASA tourney was ran really well. I like the rule... finish the inning + 1. An 80 min game turned into close to 2hrs.

    We were there as well. We were playing in the 12u division on Sunday. We were pumped...we had the Ga coach stop by to watch one inning at the right time. He decided to come watch one of his verbal commits sister's 12u team. Our coach also talked with the Arkansas coach in the parking lot as well...

    Best Fastpitch Bat you will recommend?

    my daughter is in middle school right now and I am seeing something like this. However, last night threw me for a loop. After "playing" with her friends, she comes walking at 7pm and says..."hey Dad, can we go to Rally Caps (indoor hitting facility)?" I'm in the middle of watching one of my...
