    Coresoftball Tribute Thread

    Just got online to send a message about a new bat for my daughter, only to find out this terrible news. I concur with all the other DFPers when I say thank you Core for all of your help over the years.

    In search of LH throw first base mitt...

    That's a great deal on the A2K. I've messaged Drakemir. I'm a huge Vinci fan. Use them myself for slowpitch, plus my daughter has 2 of them. Great deal on the Wilson A2000, but do you think 12.25" is a little small? I was thinking 12.5 at the least

    In search of LH throw first base mitt...

    Thanks Eric I was hoping to stay a little cheaper than some of those. Her primary position is Catcher and she has a Vinci that we love. Just wasn't quite wanting to go that strong for a 1st base mitt. I've got two kids that play C, 1st, and my son is a P/3rd base as well. That's a lot of...

    OT: Who drives an RV to tournaments in here???

    I've brought mine a few times but as the coach, find it's not worth it for me. If I wasn't coaching, I'd bring it every weekend. One of our dads loves to BBQ and would cook all weekend while we played. BUT, adding that to the responsibilities of running the team, I didn't get enough enjoyment...

    Playing dirty? Totally fair?

    In answer to your question here, imagine there is a play at the plate. Catcher cannot block home plate (or obstruct the runner from scoring) unless she has the ball. If the ball is being thrown from CF and it's halfway there, she can't just block . Point is, it's not an adequate argument that...

    Playing dirty? Totally fair?

    Thanks for replying. For my frame of reference, are you an umpire? Not trying to be rude, just wondering. I'm not sure that I agree with this. I can think of multiple times when a runner does not have the right to any path she chooses to advance. And I guess that's the basis of why I'd...

    Playing dirty? Totally fair?

    I'd like to hear from one of the Umps on here, but in my opinion, the BR does NOT have a right to the inside corner here. There is a play being made, though late, at first on a force play. Should the 1B have set up on the other corner of the bat to get closer to RF? Of course, but in my...

    Player postion question for 10u A team.

    I would agree with Eric, except I would put it like this: 1-Catch the ball 2-Catch the ball 3-Catch the ball Hopefully you get my point. "catch" is in the job title "CATCHer" lol Proper blocking skills at 10U are really hard to come by. I don't know how hard your pitcher throws, but by...

    Mental help, first year 12u

    I don't think I'd disagree with what you are saying. Of course, there are all types of kids. Additionally, I don't change that much in the style at which I coach. I always teach and I typically push both my girls and my boys. I don't change my style that much, but sometimes I have to go...

    Mental help, first year 12u

    Some great answers here, but I'll throw in my $.02 anyway. First, I agree with many others here. Just keep teaching. Teach them in practice, teach them between games, between innings and between plays. It's not about yelling to embarrass them or get them down, it's about teaching. If you...

    LHT Catcher's Mitt

    Needing some advice on a new mitt for my daughter. I would rather go try them on but she's left handed and we only have an Academy here. They don't even carry a LHT mitt beyond an entry level glove. I'm going to have to purchase one online somewhere or from a rep so I'm totally reliant upon...

    Great PGF 10u championship game

    We played both of those teams this season. While they are definitely the top two teams around, there are several others that can compete with them. For instance, we lead 1-0 against Chaos for 58 minutes in State. Ended up losing 3-1. It was really cool to see them travel that far and both...

    USFA Rules - simple flex question

    I agree that their rulebook is a hot mess which is why I was hoping for some clarification. I know that I can use up to 3 DPs but unsure if I can have more than one flex.

    USFA Rules - simple flex question

    Searched but didn't see this asked. USFA rules. Can I use more than one flex at the same time in a game? Basically, can I have two girls that only play defense? Thx

    Xeno Release?

    I kept it in my truck for this reason, but I sold that truck and lost the receipt in the process. Not LS's fault for sure.

    mask

    had my pitcher take a shot in the face in first year 10U. would've been in the hospital without mask. There is no way any of my pitchers get time in the circle without a mask. It's just not worth it to me. It only takes one swing and less than second to cause serious damage, and there is...
