    Player punished for parent debt (rec)

    As a parent with an underage child, I would not want my child included in that conversation unless I gave permission. With that being said, whenever I have been faced with that issue, I make a point to sit down privately with the parents and if the sit-down is not fruitful I make a judgment...

    What is your FAVORITE FASTPITCH BOOK?

    I encourage my girls to read books about fastpitch softball in order for them to grasp how others approach the game. I know it is working when they they want to talk about what they have just read about fastpitch softball in a book. Books imprint in their mind paths to approach such a fun game...

    Let them play...they are so resilient!

    You guys have me laughing now. I just drew a mental picture of the umpire who starts at noon and is still there after midnight!

    Once they understand how much of the game is played from above the shoulders, the sky is the limit.

    big girl/small bat

    We all understand the importance of "bat speed" and in most cases, the mental association with a particular bat. If it ain't broke, do not fix it.

    Let them play...they are so resilient!

    It can get crazy. Of course, you have to push youngsters from time to time but once a kid gets on the field, unless it is motivating, keep your comments to yourself. You hear when playing, "swing for a hit, the home run will come." I say, "let them play, the scholarship will come."

    What is your FAVORITE FASTPITCH BOOK?

    I have always appreciated "Throw Like A Girl" by Jennie Finch. But for my daughters, "Little League Softball Champs" by Joe Jackson at Little League Softball Champs: Joe Jackson: Amazon.com: Kindle Store is definitely a great one for them to read as well. Do you have a favorite? Please let us know.

    It is motivating and empowering while stressing commitment

    My heart goes out to the victims of the horrible tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. May each of us do what we can to help.

    Let them play...they are so resilient!

    No doubt, some parents are definitely too anxious while some are living vicariously. However, the kids who are succeeding are very well rounded, in my opinion. No doubt, on every team, at every level, 2 - 3 players always stand out. Say it ain't so.....

    Let them play...they are so resilient!

    My daughter just finished reading Little League Softball Champs by Joe Jackson and she absolutely loved it. You want to know why? Because it covered the emotional drama 10 - 13 year old girls face during a fastpitch season with their parents and coaches brilliantly. The book was spot on. In...
