    High School Softball

    DD may be in the same boat...almost identical. Best player in our district by quite a distance and should be #3 or 4 hitter on varsity. Plays 6 out of 9 positions so is versatile. DD works her tail off and is very coachable and great teammate but based on what the coach has been telling her she...

    Being in NJ we are at an indoor tourney in PA Spooky Nook. Not ideal being inside but at least we are playing! We are all crawling out of skin to get it goin!

    Does your college really matter?

    I have teams of people around the globe and I have hired my fair share of people and the last thing I care about is where the person went to school. That being said I am in a general business compliance field so my attitude would be different if I was hiring architects or surgeons or something...

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

    DD is a 2020 and we just joined NCSA a few weeks ago. The level of service seems very good and the UI of their website is excellent. Easy to use, track activity and navigate. Not sure if it will result in anything that we couldn't have done on our own, but I found the price to be fairly...

    Advice on Recruiting & Teams (Not another stay or go...I promise)

    I think there are quite a few realistic collegiate players that just finished 8th grade that are not yet committed. I'm not limiting the definition of realistic collegiate players to the top 25 programs (DD will not be playing for Alabama, FL, Oregon et al but I know she is a realistic...

    Advice on Recruiting & Teams (Not another stay or go...I promise)

    Thanks for the reply's. Sorry about the confusion. In our area everyone calls themselves 18U if they are playing in anything other than straight tournaments meaning not many showcases. The team my daughter is considering is made up of all 2020's but will not be playing in any 14U tournaments but...

    Advice on Recruiting & Teams (Not another stay or go...I promise)

    For those of you who have gone through the recruiting process before or are farther along than DD is, looking for your opinion. DD is a 2020, a solid player and it's HER goal to play at the collegiate level which is something she has the ability and desire to do. We have been through the tryout...

    Would you take this girl?

    As the ex-coach of a 12U B town team, I would take her every day and twice on Sunday...and if we were luck she would be pitching twice on Sunday.

    Catchers Code of Conduct - DFP Version

    Throw the ball. Don't play chicken with the runners. THROW THE BALL! You will get better, your infielders will get better and the runners will get cautious.

    Moment

    Wow, these are great! For me and DD her entire season last year was an incredible ride full of highs and lows. She made one of the best 12U A teams in our state last year coming from a town team so our goal was first to make the team (check) then to become a starter by mid spring (she became a...

    Trophy Kids documentary

    I just watched it a few days ago. Definitely cringe worthy in many parts...when the golf dad called his 9 yr old daughter an f'n b*tch under his breath because she missed a putt, I got sick to my stomach. I didn't have an issue with the money spent on training or the rigorous schedules etc (at...

    Uniform #'s

    Been around softball for a little while, but certainly not as much as most of y'all. Overheard a a very knowledgeable coach at a game last night that as the girls get older (12U and beyond) he likes to stay away from single digit uniform numbers. I have noticed that the VAST majority of girls...

    It's Never Good...

    As a photographer (and travel ball dad) that is a fantastic shot. Nice job!

    How'd your tryouts go?

    Well, we are at a much earlier stage than you (12U) but my daughter is over the moon thrilled as she was offered a spot on her "dream team". She will be playing legit A level ball for the first time so she will get limited catching (some but probably some 1st and outfield duties. She is so...

    Proper Glove Size

    Hi. I realize this may have asked several times before, hoever my search couldn't come up with exactly what I was looking for. My DD is a first yr 12U player. She has been plying 10U TB for the past 2 seasons with a 11.75" glove. She likes it is comfortable, but I've had a coach tell me he...

    Marketable Positions

    This is a good discussion, thank you! I will certainly continue to focus on 3rd and an outfield position.

    Marketable Positions

    Thanks for the reply! By stacked I just meant they are probably several players deep who can play 1st. DD has hit in the 4 hole for her TB, Rec and district team all season. She had a great power year. Her speed is probably about avg, she has long legs (5'3") her home to first time is good but...
