DH everyweekend for 6 weeks, urr.

DD has not played fall ball for 6 years, she liked her Team a lot this year so signed up for fall ball this year.

There are no standings, it is a free for all.

Good news, sort of, is she can drive herself to games as of a week ago. :)

Who am I kidding, I will be at all of the games.

Like JAD said Go to every game you can. They grow up way to fast. DD's final summer of TB flew by. I hated missing the few tournaments I did. Enjoy, Fall ball can be more fun and relaxing. Hot chocolate, blankets, making fun of Mom in her Stay-Puff marshmallow coat, playing in the snowfall...

One of the interesting things for me is we entered last season with 3 OK pitchers. 4th pitcher only got a few innings, if she gets some innings in fall ball she has a good chance to jumping to #1 if she plays fall ball and stays with our organization.

My DD improved more with REC ball then travel.. maybe that's a stretch but being able to throw a pitch (Change Up in her case) to a batter over and over until it was fully baked in REC made it easier to roll it out in travel ball.

I keep looking through the rules and can not find it, I am positive a good change up is illegal in all rule sets.

A bad change up is allowed though.

I loved fall ball. I'll go for you now that I have NOTHING to do. LOL, I am now slowly working through 10 years to "to do's" at the house.

Enjoy every fleeting minute you can.

Fall Ball has it's pluses and minuses.

Usually less competitive than spring and summer ball, often a way for the girls to keep their softball muscles going. Sometimes try out a new pitch.
