    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...

    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?

    DD's 2014 xeno has a nice rattle going on so we are starting to look for a new bat. Just wondering if anyone knows when the new Xeno's will be released? What's your take on the difference between the 2014 and 2015? Is it a repaint or is it better/worse?

    My DD wants to know...

    So my daughter is in her 2nd year 10U, but this is her first season to be the full time catcher. She didn't catch before Fall and split time then. Now she's won the job hands down and is doing fantastic. After one tournament though, she's realized that she needs to change her eating habits...

    1st "Spring" Tournament in the morning...

    DD has her first "spring" tournament in the tmrw. It's only supposed to be 36* with a wind chill below freezing. Way too cold for the March 7th in Southeast Texas. Oh well, we are pumped. She begged to go to sleep early as we have to leave before daylight to get there. She's put in a ton...

    10U Pitching Question/Frustration

    So, I have this frustration with parents of 10U pitchers, but as I'm thinking about it tonight, I'm wondering if I'm off base. As I'm finishing up my hitting lessons for the evening, a friend of mine is leaving with his daughter who just finished her pitching lesson. I ask how she's looking...

    Missed bag appeal

    Ok, here's the scenerio: 1 out. Runners on first and third. Girl hits a shot down the right field line. After an overthrow, both runners and batter-runner score. Problem is that she missed the first base bag. Now, the umpire didn't see it, even though he had just told me that he sees...

    What to do with a player...

    I coach a 10U rec team and new 10U select team. All 03s and a couple 04s. I have a girl who is stupid fast. By far the fastest girl in our league or that I've seen in any regional tournaments. She is an outstanding athlete. Having just moved up from 8U this spring, I've switched her to...

    Dropped 3rd Strike Rule

    Pardon my ignorance on this question, but we just moved up from 8U coach pitch and learning the new rules... Had first scrimmage for our rec team last night. We are pitching, 2 outs, runner on 3rd. My pitcher strikes out the batter, but the 3rd strike was pretty wild (not even sure why the...

    Scrimmage or Practice???

    So here's the situation...it has hardly stopped raining since we drafted our Rec league team a month ago. We've only been able to get on an actual softball field twice and then 2 other practices on a grass field. We've been in the cages twice a week on top of that. Now, opening day is coming...

    Strikes vs speed 10U

    Ok so we are drafting today for our 10U rec league. Defensively and offensively, I'm confident we will dominate given the girls I'm returning and adding in a few more. It's the pitching I'm worried about. So here is my question: My two pitchers had been going to the same coach. His philosophy...
