    Continuing Education - Umpire Evaluation

    How are umpires evaluated at the d3 level? I watched a game this weekend where a call or rule was routinely 'missed/not applied.' At this level of play there is no video review, had there been the calls would have likely been overturned. Do coaches appeal their concerns to the conference or...

    Golf Shoe for Softball

    I can't speak to a kid, but based on a previous thread I bought a pair of Adidas Code Chaos22 for coaching and they are great... comfortable, water proof, and don't look like golf shoes.

    The catching camp

    Pretty sure my DD was 11 when she took her first of three camps with Jay - worth every penny!

    Yellow batting gloves

    I recall being at The Spring Games a few years ago and walking by a Rowan game... yellow tops, yellow bottoms, and yellow socks. The whole point of going to a yellow ball was for it to be more visible - yes ? Yellow on a uniform should go away.

    Sounds like the school I attended... it's challenging working with a school of the same population that can barely field a team. Culture matters.

    Educate Me on Scouting

    This question is more geared for those who have or had daughters in college... What, if anything are coaches giving their players in regards to scouting? Does your DD get a report game by game? Was talking to DD the other night and she showed me the software they use...

    Big 10 softball

    I don't think it's a lack of talent... now what they do with the talent I think is probably closer to the answer. When you look at the rosters at these large state schools it's not as though they have a significant number of players representing their state.

    Big 10 softball

    All of the above... You're right about the BigTen Network - it's abysmal! Keeping good coaches seems to be an issue at some schools. Obviously Hutchins retiring didn't help Michigan. And Minnesota's former Coach heading to Ole Miss hurt them. Wisconsin will likely never get top pitching...

    College Roster Sizes, sorry some of you don't get to go with us~

    Well said ! Most of the games I watch are on the other end of the spectrum... just enough kids to field a team and no matter how poor the play there's no chance of losing your 'spot.' :confused:

    Scheduling Etiquette

    Very curious to hear what others think (I think my opinion may be out of touch)... High school game scheduled for tomorrow. Game time temperatures expected in the 30s with 10mph winds. Visiting team is not interested in playing due to the conditions. They were offered Tuesday which is...

    DDs school is bringing on new sports for the purpose of added money... each kid is probably paying $10 - 20,000. It sure beats what has happened to a few schools lately (closing).

    Good takes... any chance there's a stat out there showing the percentage difference in plays those positions (CF & 1B) are involved in (college stats would work)?

    High school team. Athletic player that will field and play everything at her position. Your options are to position her in Centerfield or First Base. That's all you have to go on... where are you putting her? What's your logic?

    I currently live in a state that doesn't have divisions / classes... Small school has never won state (an evolution is long overdue).

    I see the same where I am at... Lacrosse has good numbers. Softball not so much.
