    Travel Time for Practice

    I wouldn’t drive more than 30 min to participate in a youth sport. If you are in a rural area then longer.

    Coaching Third

    It takes experience to coach third, no way to get experience other than the jump in and do it. Rule number one of coaching third, similar to the number one rule of fight club 😂, don’t ever make the first out of the inning at third or home. With two outs, you can be more aggressive, especially if...

    Travel Team coaches?

    I wouldn’t panic, I don’t know if too many players who get recognized at showcase tournaments. For the most part, they are a waste of money. With that being said, my team did a lot of showcase tournaments this season because that’s what the parents felt we needed to do. I don’t know if any...

    Sparkler review $$$

    We tried some of the big showcase events this year and we will never do them again. Complete waste of money is what our parents decided. Most of our girls go to local schools on east coast. The competition was very watered down. Live and learn.

    Travel Ball vs. HS Sports vs. other club sports

    If you are playing a HS sport, that would have to come first. Missing HS practices/games are unacceptable. Not many coaches care about your other in-season activities. Now Maybe that depends on the size school you go to, but a large competitive HS won’t allow you to miss to go to some club...

    Whats after 18U?

    Like chuck noll used to tell players at the end of the line - time to get on with your life’s work 😂

    Better Competition

    What I’ve founds is driving farther away often just means playing the same decent/average teams but having to drive 5-8 hours and pay for a hotel instead of staying at home for free. This game is the same anywhere you play it. Sure, some regions of the country seem to have better athletes in...

    DP/Flex rule

    Yes, you would have to pinch hit for her and then re-enter her. 1 time allowed. The dp/flex is confusing at first. Took me about 3 years, but I think I figured it out :ROFLMAO: In your case the pitcher is just another position.

    Crazy situation

    If all players touch home it’s a home run. Don’t need a rule to tell me that. There’s a lot of BS that goes on in this game that needs to be replaced with common sense. And low class teams with noisemakers and beating on buckets are the worst.

    Why Play Softball?

    Lol, you’re right. That was harsh. But sports makes it very easy for a father daughter bond to be developed. I refuse to bond over til tok. 😂

    Why Play Softball?

    I coach and my daughter plays because there aren’t many things a guy and his daughter can bond over. For me it’s something I will look back on and smile about when I’m old and dying. Hopefully she does as well. With that being said, the excessive travel and significant costs are something...

    How Many is too many?

    If they can find 30 to pay the dues, they’ll take it.

    Playing up 10u-12u

    What age group and team do you feel she have the most fun at?

    Coach, do your pitchers wear masks?

    These bats allow below average size girls with average bat speed to hit the ball 220’ without even swinging hard. A shot to the face from 35-40’ could kill a person. I’d have my kid wear one.

    Cheating or Aggressive Base Running?

    What is it with this sport and teaching young athletes to cheat? Or is the way all youth sports have become? I didn’t see if this was a college or HS game, either way, what the hell are we teaching kids? I’d be embarrassed and ashamed to have anything to do with this. I see so much...
