    DP/FLEX Memory Tools

    Just to make sure I'm not totally stupid - the DP can play defense for ANYONE correct? Can she play defense for multiple players during the same game?

    Back to work

    Like was mentioned before - fighting the hand-drop. Next time you go hit, put the tee on top of a bucket and let her swing 20-25 times. (high tee drill) Then let her swing at normal height 15 times. Pay attention to her hand path on the normal tee. What you should start noticing is a higher...

    Easton Mako Torq Fastpitch Bat

    I won one at a coaches clinic I was at last weekend - pretty sure $450 would have been out of my price range. My girls haven't had a chance to get in the cages with it but don't seem too excited at this point. The twins both like their CF5 Hopes (which still have pop) and CF7 Hopes. Their...

    Fundraising

    Poker tournament is always a good one for us! I would assume the NCAA pool isn't much different. For our poker prizes we will have the girls go out and get some gift certificates for prizes, that way we can give something out for 4th, 5th, 6th place nad then cash and GCs for 1st-3rd. Maybe...

    I just wanna play!

    I've seen goals at that age go both ways... some kids stay with it and work towards their goals and some loose it for various reasons - skills can pass some girls by, loose love of the game, etc. Your DD may be like my twins (16 yo now) and just love to play the game! They want to play, they...

    Equipment Bag Big Enough to Hold a BowNet

    We have the same rule for our 16U team - coaches don't carry gear. We even make sure the girls carry their own bag too. Mommy and Daddy don't need to help now that you are a big girl! Lol

    Weekend brag thread!!

    Well, long story short - the HS coach runs the other team. His team was going to do more exposure stuff than us and she wanted that, so we made it her decision. He a very smart coach but sometimes a bit intense. She's figured out she likes our team more, so she'll be back this fall. She said the...

    Weekend brag thread!!

    Ok folks, let's hear a little bragging about our DDs from this weekend!! So my twins (16U) are playing on 2 separate teams this season - btw that's changing starting this fall - anyways, both teams were in the same tournament this weekend and were playing on separate fields. Both of my girls...

    Mom finds sex offender at practice.

    I have a gun, a shovel, and an alibi!! All my girls know they can just call my name or find me if the are ever any 'issues' that need straightening out. My wife and I coach together and are of the opinion when the girls are around, they are our children, and will protect them like our own.

    Picture of the beggar with cardboard sign?

    Injury issue - advice??

    And just to add - yes, I understand any of this is not a recommendation or the like. Probably should have put as 'opinion' and not 'advice' but that's just me. Not too literal of a person. Just looking for thoughts and experiences. This all kinda goes along with 'advice' on our DDs swings...

    Injury issue - advice??

    I would love for her to be able to to finish the summer season but ultimately, her health is tops! Normally, she's our number 1 pitcher for our summer team but we shut her down from pitching this season until she is 100%. She's just a sophomore so she has time. We go see the specialist/surgeon...

    Injury issue - advice??

    So one of the twins has an issue with her knee. The injury is a Plica (or plicae). Basically, last spring she had a collision at home with the catcher and banged the inside of her bent knee. After the injury she has had a few CT and MRIs and all ligs and meniscus are in great shape. I guess...

    New bat soon - what should I get?

    Either it was the right choice or/and it's a mental thing and their confidence went sky-high with the new bats! One went 4-4 and hit the fence and the other went 4-5 with 3 doubles, a single and a fly out at the fence! Probably a little of both but it was great to see the attitude and...

    This is getting really old

    I agree, our 16u team here in Oregon has been getting together on Saturdays, which usually consists of holding our entire practice in the outfield because the infield is a mud pit!! I think we've been on the dirt twice so far! Lol First tourney in 2 weeks so hope we get some infield time next...

    New bat soon - what should I get?

    Well, for both of the girls, it came down to the CF 7 Hope and the Mako - the CF 7s won out. The Mako is a nice bat but is weighted slightly different. The girls didn't have as clean of hits with the Mako, so rather than hoping for a quick adjustment period of a new brand of bat, I think the...
