    Sorry ... the WORST game I have ever seen. EVER.

    Around here there is no DTK in 10U rec. I don't think it should be in 12U rec either.

    Got a good one for you . . .

    We had this come up in a rec playoff game. The batter would've been out so we had her just stand there and not swing. She ended up walking and then we could put in a courtesy runner. I tried to get something put in for the following season to allow someone else to complete the AB but I was voted...

    Rec Leagues Practices&Games/Week?

    Our league has 5 events a week in the spring and 4 in the fall. The spring season is very quick - 5 week regular season with 2 practices and 3 games (2 on Saturday and 1 on Sunday) and then a single-elimination playoff the following week. The catch is it's April to mid-May in Colorado, so the...

    POLL~ on this pitchers reaction

    Hard to tell if it's directed at the batter or the catcher.

    HS Softball Started

    There's a HS here with about 3,800 students and they get 25 out for softball. They have a ton of other sports obviously, and they get huge turnouts.

    Being best player on bad team, or bench player on good team?

    First and foremost, she should be playing softball because it's fun and she enjoys it. Ask her if she thinks she'd have as much fun riding the bench as.she does playing. Base the decision on that.

    Situational Fielding - 10U

    In 8U the surest out is the the bases loaded gb to the girl playing pitcher and she runs home and tags the plate herself.

    8u Rec - Throwing/Catching in game

    Our 8u rec rules are no advancing on overthrows and the play is dead when the ball gets into the infield. So it encourages everyone to throw the ball and get the experience.

    Things to Remember - Coaching

    This is a huge peeve of mine. The kids aren't listening. They don't care. Just call outsome players who made some good plays or had some good hits and go home. Wait until practice to talk about what went wrong.

    Why I *still* coach

    I had a similar event this season. 12u rec, we had a girl who never played before. Somewhere in mid season she finally got her first hit - lined one over 3b for a double. The grin on her face when she reached second was priceless.

    Middle School Softball Pitching advice.

    I think it goes the other way. The more times in a row you best a team, the more likely it is that you're a better team, and by a bigger margin. If you beat them 4 in a row it is more likely that you are better than them than if you split the games. So it's more likely you'll win the next game...

    Batter interfering on wild pitch

    The batter took 1 or 2 steps backward out of the box and was directly between the catcher and the plate. The throw appeared to be on-line to the pitcher covering the plate. It seemed like clear interference to both teams' coaches. Regardless of whether it actually was interference, as CoachJD...
