    IL 3A state champs!

    DD's team, Montini Broncos are the IL class 3A champs! Down 8-3 going into the top of the 7th, the Broncos scored 12 runs to win the championship 15-8. DD single to right center drove in the tying run. Unbelievable comeback. The area newspapers called it epic. Set new IL record for most...

    Is it a money grab? Academic achievement games?

    Has anyone from the Midwest heard or participated in this event in the last couple of years? Wondering if there are legit opportunities to connect with coaches or if it's a money grab? Classic Softball Showcase TB coach recommended DD and, of course, we got a response from the organization...

    ASA gift exchange

    Going to 14u Nationals in Chattanooga in a couple weeks. I was reading the informational packet they posted and they mention a gift exchange after the first pool game. I brought it up to a couple other team moms and they don't want to put anything together until they know they other team is...

    Exposure pitching etiquette

    DD is 2nd year 14u. We are starting the exposure tournament circuit. One of the pitching coaches of one of our pitchers told her in an exposure tourney, she should only throw fastballs over the plate and not try to get fancy. He said college coaches want to see speed from the pitchers and...

    Is it stay to play at ASA nationals????

    DD 14u team just qualified for Chatanooga for July '17. Going to start looking into housing options for the week. Does anyone know if ASA is stay to play or can we stay anywhere we want? There's no mention on their website so I'm guessing they don't have that policy but I thought maybe...

    Coach wants to order trading pins for ASA Northern Nationals or PGF Regional 14u team Question #1: Do they do pin trading at PGF Regionals? Question #2: How many pins per girl? Coach wants to order 1000, so around 80 pins per girl for $110 It's a small expense considering how much we spend...

    Speed/conditioning training prices?

    For those of you that bring in speed/conditioning trainers for your team, what do you pay for a 1hr team session outdoors (no facility fee)? Our head coach brought in a guy for at least 4 sessions with our girls and I know we are paying a hefty fee...more than I think is necessary, so I want...

    Omg h/e pc

    Daughter has a beautiful natural whip motion which has served her well from 8u up through 12u. She was gunned at last year's tryouts throwing 48 but that's all upper body as she doesn't have a whole lot of leg drive. She hits her spots and throws a decent drop and serviceable change. Lately...

    Overthrown and out of play: which base should she be at?

    Runner at 1B. Batter hits at single to CF and tries to stretch it to 2B on a bad cut but realizes she won't make it to 2B so she retreated to 1B. SS tries to throw the ball back to 1B to get the retreating runner but 1B is playing way in front of the base so she would never make the tag...

    1st year TB...matching bags and helmets

    I have a dilemma that I am probably thinking is a bigger deal than it really it is. We are playing 12u TB for the 1st time and of course the team has to have matching helmets and bags. It's all included in the cost, so that's fine. The problem comes in that DD is a catcher so she has all of...

    End of the season 12u rec tournament. We are #7 seed playing #2 seed to either go home or go to the finals. All of our local rec rules still apply (time limit, 6 run rule all innings). Top of the 6th almost at time limit, we scored a couple runs and are up by 6. Need to get to a 7 run lead...

    How do you light a fire?

    I coach DD's 12u rec team. We were the #7 seed (out of 9) going into the end of season double elim tournament. Going by the season stats, we should have been out of this on Saturday but the girls played unbelievably good and won. We won 3 games vs #8, #2, #3 and sent them all to the losers...

    yellow on pitcher's glove

    Do ASA rules allow the pitchers mitt to have flourescent yellow lacing and a flourescent yellow round manufacturer's emblem on the back of the wrist strap? Illinois HS rules don't allow it and the pitchers have to cover it up, but not sure about ASA. Questioned the ump last night and he claims...

    Tear to my eye

    My sister-in-law, who just doesn't get the softball thing, lives 10 minutes from the fields and never once came to watch my DD play, asked DD if she's tired and will be glad when the season is over?. DD's response without missing a beat was "Nope, I'll miss it." It brought a tear to my and DH...

    side arm?

    I coach DDs 12u rec team and we played one of the better teams in our league last night in our last regular season game. My dad who is a HS umpire came to watch about halfway through the game. After the inning was over, my dad came over to me and said you know, that pitcher is throwing...

    How to stop the shot put throw?

    I am a first year HC of a 12u rec team. I have been lurking here for some time and appreciate all of the information and need a suggestion for a huge pet peeve of mine. For lack of a better terrm, almost all of the girls throw with a shot put approach...elbow down, facing straight at the...
