    I have one in good condition I'd be willing to part with.

    We quit our team today

    Good A level teams will have a minimum of 12 players who can all play. Usually those sitting will rotate including the pitchers possibly sitting before their next start etc. Good teams will play 6-8 games on a tourney weekend and the parents understand there will be ample playing time. The...

    We quit our team today

    A lot of good advice given… I think this “Crazy 10U Mom” may have a lot to learn about travel ball, the long term, and probably needs to calm way down on softball or DD will suffer the consequences. Luckily they are in a big area and can afford to burn some bridges, but eventually you run out...

    NSA Florida 275#/.52 COR Ball

    Safer in that a close distance impact may cause slightly less damage with the understanding that having balls that bounce significantly more will probably cause a much higher number of impacts overall. We saw an out sized # of errors in the tourney since the girls are used to staying down on...

    NSA Florida 275#/.52 COR Ball

    We decided not to play any Florida NSA tourneys for the rest of the season due to this change. The ball was definitely bouncy and the infield spins caused very interesting bad hops. Of course, the deeper shots by power hitters were easy outs. Essentially- this renders the latest composite...

    ASA- Roseville, CA

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far! MMD- funny looks like the hotel is very close to Lucille's and I love good BBQ- I'll have to avoid that one. In FL in July it's 94- and it's definitely not a dry heat. You sweat if you answer the door.

    ASA- Roseville, CA

    Thanks for the advice so far. Difficult to get 11 families from FL to CA and find accommodations that will work for all. At least we aren't looking last minute I suppose. Glad I am not in charge of it!

    ASA- Roseville, CA

    Looks like several of you may have been to Roseville, CA for past ASA nationals tourneys. If anyone has any advice on the area, pitfalls to avoid, or things to do. Any recommendations are appreciated. Our 12U team just qualified and already we are finding a shortage of appropriate rooms 8...

    girls catchers mitt advice

    I have seen some of this as well- DD is 12. I think as they try to stick pitches and get around the ball because of the web/pocket "wrap" for lack of a better term causes the ball to hit the edge of the mitt. I think she adjusted the way she sticks pitches and has figured it out, but getting...

    girls catchers mitt advice

    Eric F- Curious what the odd issues were with the glove? My DD loves her Vinci, but I have noticed on an inside pitch as she tries to stick the pitch- every once in awhile it will hit the front/end of the web and cause a drop or deflection (because the "wrap" of the pocket). From looking at...
