    Daughter left 1 team/org . The reason was the head games, blatent biases, & crushing self esteem. The last straw was when coach yelled in my daughter's face during a game she was pitching (her timing was off for certain pitch he called that day, so she shook him off ")..He flipped out...

    Help understanding the mentality of 10/12u tryouts

    Should she accept first offer?

    OnDeck, Fastpitch Recruits, Captain U, NCSA, Game Day, Headfirst, Riseball - HELP

    I like the ease of acess to NCSA, especially in regards when emailing coaches to give showcase tournament schedule. You can see when the coach has read it or viewed your profile. It's also nice to reach out to coaches that have shown interest in following you, that you wouldn't had known...

    To join showcase team or not?

    Yes, she is 13yrs old. The showcase team would be closer to her actual age. She's currently playing 18U with her HS team.

    To join showcase team or not?
