Sciatic/back/hip pain. has had minor issues with this on and off for a while, chiropractor and stretching extra seemed to help. few weeks ago, paying HS field hockey, jumped to avoid a ball hit in air towards her legs (if it hits her it is a foul on her), landed...

    anyone going to Myrtle this and next week?

    Leaving tomrrow, splitting drive (10 hours if straight through) into two days. Looking forward to girls refocusing after a dissappointing state "B" championship tournament last weekend (placed 5th). Also looking forward to seeing some different teams for a change. Reccomendations?

    should we say something to coach

    14u team is into sixties game wise for the year (and very successul, which helped up the # of games). In addition, couple of the girls played HS (rest still in MS with no MS ball), several others played for town select teams (kinda in between rec and travel). team lost 3rd round elimination...

    anyone know of a good online vendor for purchasing cleats?

    DD is outgrowing YET ANOTHER pair of cleats. getting hard to put them on, even with laces loose, and toes are pretty much rubbing front of foot. Think my wife gave birth to sasquatch based on her feet. what makes it harder is she is particular to say the least. wants metal, mid or high...

    why would a TD

    have 90% of a groups games at site A on Sat, all bracket games at site A on sunday except finals, and move finals to site B? the reason we were told is because "that is where the medals are". hhhhmmm, one box of metals transported in a car by one person, vs making two entire teams (who just...

    would you or wouldnt you

    bottom of 7th inning (14u), home team down a run, runners (both pretty fast) on 1B and 3B, 2 outs. hot hitter (2-2 in this game) at the plate. do you bait throw with runner on 1B bascially walking towards 2B while looking at C? sorry if confusing, question is does the offense try and draw the...

    think we will ever see

    GC allow the two scorekeepers in a game exchange information (lineups, substitutions, etc.) directly, and see how the other one scores a play? think this would be very interesting to see (ie hit vs E, WP v PB, etc.)
