DD hasn't played a game since August. Christmas has came and went. No softball in our near future, till high school season in spring. I am officially in withdrawal mode. How long does it usually take for you all to hit withdrawal mode? Thank God for this site where we can at least read, and talk about sb.

Side note: hope everyone had a good Christmas/Hannukah/ Festivus/ or what ever you celebrate, and wishing everyone a happy new year.

Not sure if this helps, but there should be some college games available online @ mid-February.

It takes me a lot less time than that. I'm pretty hooked. We played our last tournament 11/19-20 and I've already been missing it for like 2 weeks. I watch games we filmed with our GoPro some to ease the pain.

Maddie's team played over 30 games from mid-September to early-December. We are in the middle of a 3-week break before the team gets back together in early January. Maddie and I are both getting twitchy with anticipation.

Indoor tournament in next weekend! We did numerous camps after the fall showcases and a short break was welcome but now we ready to roll. She plays her first hs ball this spring.

Wish we were in the new dome in Peoria but we are in Pekin. Come on up!

DD 3's team was going to play an indoor tournament, then we checked her finals schedule.
Turns out the tournament was the weekend before finals. The very first finals she will ever take in her life, first semester of HS freshman year.
They were down to 9 players before I saw that, but sorry team, school comes first. :p
They would've been down to 8 players and missing one of the two starting pitchers. So no tournament.

I have found that following college football bowl games up through the National Championship, followed by football recruiting, gets me through until college softball starts in mid-Feb. College basketball is also in full swing, which I suddenly have renewed interest in...

Have been to the Pekin dome before. Cool place. Never been to the Peoria one.

I love this time of the year because I get to spend a lot of one on one time working with DD and I love seeing the improvements. I do miss practicing at the fields though.
