    NFHS Pitching Step Back Rule

    We played in a tournament in Minnesota last weekend and it was the first time that i had seen a girl step back and pitch. It led to a discussion among us fans. How many states or governing bodies have adopted the step back rule for pitching? I have not seen it in Iowa or any travel tournament...

    In Defense of the Coach - Your Coach

    One of the things that disappoints me about this board is the coach bashing. I, myself, can get caught up and frustrated with my kid's coaches so this is for me as well. I lived the life of a high school coach for 15+ years in multple sports. I loved nearly every minute of it, but it is...

    Awarding extra bases

    Here's the scenario: runner on 1st, ground ball to 2nd she flips to short for the force out, SS throws to 1st for double play. Ball is thrown into the dugout. Base ump calls the girl out and 2nd (correct call) and awards the runner going to 1st 2nd base because the ball left the field of...

    Squash the bug - story

    I do not think "squash the bug" is the worst thing in the world and my point is not to bash on those that teach it. I am just sharing a little story with my 2 DD's and that DD1 is "getting it" with what is being taught to her DD2 is at a softball camp after school this week. When she got...
