    Softball tackle? and the recovery.

    IDT Watching this just makes my heart and head hurt. Haley was looking straight up at the pop up. Technically being the higher number position it was her play as her coaches have always taught her. I just don't understand why any runner would try and make that much contact on a play since they...

    Gift IDEAS that aren't cheesy, overdone and don't suck

    Silly me - I volunteered to coordinate the senior class gift to each of their high school coaches. I need ideas. We have a female HC & AC and then a male AC. They have been coaches for quite a while - so all that "coachy" type stuff has been done. Lots. But my question is - do coaches like...

    Facebook post re EC Bullets / Schnute

    Not sure if anyone else saw this. I know how I feel - I am in total agreement with KT. I'm glad this is being brought to light so people can make better decisions on where they want their kids playing and for what kind of people.

    Committed, SR Season - What to do???

    Long post but I need perspective and help. Backstory: DD's team is done with their summer season. It actually ended on a pretty bad note IMO. The team was supposed to be flying out to Cali on Friday for PGF Nationals where the team would have been playing in the 18U Premier division. However...

    2 Monster home runs for daughter at IDT

    Totally shameless brag - yes I know the air is thinner but these were a couple of awesome home runs. The 2nd one was off an AZ State commit - which she was pretty stoked about. I always tell her she can compete with the best but she always acts like I'm lying. What's funny is she was just...

    2 Free Durham Regional All Session Standing Room/Field Seating Tickets

    I bought 2 tickets to the Durham Regional thinking my daughter and I would go tomorrow to watch games. Turns out I didn't think that through very well and we have a couple conflicts. My loss is your gain. The tickets weren't expensive and they are the standing room/field seating tickets but it...

    Daughter committed to her #1 school

    I am so happy to say my girl has verbally committed to play ball at her number 1 college choice. My kid wasn't one of those who wanted to be at a P5 school - she has simple tastes - campus needs to have a Chick-Fil-A and private bathrooms..... j/k (kinda). She honestly loved the school and...

    No live streaming allowed at tournament?

    So I have friends at the Tulsa Elite invite. They were live streaming their games on Thursday and Friday but today they put out a message that the tournament has shut down their live stream citing copy right. Now, they do have Flo Softball there streaming every game but the kicker is that people...

    Questions about recruiting & live-streaming

    My DD is a 2023. She would like to play college ball and of course she has some D1 schools on her wish list. She is not totally convinced on what she wants to do when she grows up but she has talked about physical therapy. If that’s the case she can probably go pretty much anywhere for her...

    Aaron Rowland post to Matt Lisle

    I love the first statement. “You know I love you and you’re a great guy” then he proceeds to rip him up and down, lol. Kinda like those people who say “I’m not trying to be an butt” then proceed to be a total butthead the entire rest of the time. I digress though, what are your feelings about...

    Pitching instructor won’t allow dd coach to attend lesson

    I’m wondering if this is common or if I am making an unreasonable request? Here is the back story: my dd used to pitch when she was in 10u and 12u. She stopped because she just didn’t have the emotional capacity to handle the pressure that position was placing on her. Fast forward 2.5 years...

    Thoughts on DD's swing

    I would appreciate any thoughts on DD's swing. She takes hitting lessons once a week but we work together the other days both with tee work and front toss and I would like to have some ideas on how I can keep encouraging proper mechanics. https://youtu.be/SKmNuA40WP4 TIA

    WCWS Ticket Question

    I wasn't sure where to post this question - My daughter's team is headed to OKC to play in the OKC Challenge again this year. One thing we love to do is go to some WCWS games while we are there. Last year I was able to get a couple of single session game tickets but this year my DD wants to...

Please PM me with any recommendations - there are lots of facilities around here and my head...
