    School ball

    When does school ball start for all of you? DD’s hasn’t even started practice yet. They’re a bit late this year probably because of COVID.

    JV Softball - Having a great time

    Our County has a weird rule that allows 8th graders in Middle School to try out for and play JV softball with the local High School. I think they do it because there usually isn’t enough talent in 9-12 to field a pair of teams. What this means in reality is that the JV team becomes a fun taste...

    Another 3rd strike drop question

    Had a high school game today and had a play that I think the official made two bad calls on. The first bad call was he didn't see the ball hit the ground before calling the player out for 3rd strike. I can accept this call as it was easy to miss. The opposing coach then appeals the play, the...

    Newcomer To Sport--Terrified

    I've been casually practicing softball with my friends since September, and in recent weeks the intensity factor has picked up quite a bit. Our high school varsity team is *really* good, but a few with no experience made it on to JV. I'm not terrible. I'm hoping for shortstop or 1st base...
