    Where to view verbals?

    I know about FloSoftball and Goldfastpitch for the division 1 schools. But how does someone find verbals for division 2 or any other scholarship level?

    Email's and what they imply!

    DD is a sophomore this year and has received several emails from D1 & D2. (they were sent to the manager and then forwarded to her). My question is for those experienced people that have been through this process as to what the emails imply. Below is some info about one school in particular...

    High School Ball Drama

    How bad have your experiences been? My DD is on day 3 of practice and already girls that she's never been friends with are talking about her and how she's rude and cocky. Those are two things my DD is not. Yes I know I'm not with her 24/7 but I've never witnessed her be rude and she tends to...

    LXT Opinions Needed

    My DD currently swings the 2014 LXT which she's on her 2nd one. It's had a good year of use with lots of swings and she loves the feel of it. My question is what is the noticed difference between LXT's? Is there a noticeable "POP" difference between any of them? I wouldn't think they did...

    GOLD/A/B/C Why do we have it?

    What is the purpose of classifications? I watched a "B" team beat a "GOLD" team this past weekend 13-4. This is 16U. The "B" team didn't have there #1 Catcher who is also a .400 hitter. The GOLD team is a decent team but in my opinion this B team is classified correct as they lost to another...

    Time For A Rule Change!?

    Safety being a huge concern for almost everyone, at what point do we look at plays of the game and remove them? For instance in MLB you can't block the plate anymore, thus cutting down on the likelihood of a collision and a Buster Posey injury. How about in FP we take away the show bunt pull...

    The Reality of Travel Ball...

    This is probably better suited for the coaching thread but this thread sees more views and I personally think this is important. Background: I am trained in suicide prevention/conflict management and several other areas are part of my job. I am an AC for a 14U travel team. I also follow as...

    The Day I Threw My Glove

    Last nights practice was probably one of the worst I've been around in 10 years. I could get behind this kind of suckage in school ball, rec and C level TB but not this team. We have a 12U and 14U and they practice together based on distance they live away from the practice facility so that...

    Catching Mitt Purchase

    Currently my DD uses an Akadema and it's a floppy mess. She loves it but the ball falls out constantly even when I catch. I think she likes it because it does feel comfortable on the hand. I've been reading the feedback on the mitts on here and everywhere else and I finally decided yes I...

    What commitment level do you expect

    This is a general topic to help me understand what most people on here expect the commitment level of their team to be, and if others share my frustrations. So at the 14U A/B level playing mainly NSA/ASA what commitment level would you expect from players? This team is preparing to move to 16U...

    This weekend i ran into a team that complained MORE THAN ANY TEAM I'VE EVER SEEN!!! I promise you it started before the first pitch. My 12U girls like to cheer and i encourage it, nothing crazy just what you hear everywhere. Pitcher throws a ball they cheer low rider pitch a little higher...

    Thank You Post

    I would first like to thank my DD for all the hard work she has put in, especially with such a demanding father. She has been catching for around 1 full season now and loves it, but the best part is that it's natural to her. 2nd I would like to thank my wife and son for putting up with me as...

    Does this seem right?

    I recently took over our organizations 18U A showcase team (1 week ago). I have experience coaching, built good relationship with local D1-D3 coaches and have the time to dedicate to the girls. What doesn't seem right is the following. The former Manager's DD is the #1 pitcher, she's good and...

    What if anything does this mean?

    So a few weeks ago my DD was at her hitting lesson at a local D1 college. She is blessed to have the AC a former D1 conference player of the year right around the corner from us. During this particular lesson the HC was in the building and stopped in to talk with me. My DD has been around the...

    How Do You Determine Your Lineup!

    I'm asking because i don't understand how the HC for my DD's team determines who's going to hit during a game and who isn't and was hoping for a little feedback. Scenario below. My DD is 5ft tall and 90Lbs at 11 and at times shows flashes of hitting. Currently has a .273 average but an OBP of...
