Purchased a set of Pit Vipers for my daughter and didn't realize they came with a case. Selling this (now extra) brand new case at my cost, $15, including shipping to lower 48. Imgur upload of case:
Maybe "entitled studs" would be a better choice. The girls that have tons of potential but think they don't need to do drills, pick up balls, can show up late or miss practice yet still want to start every game, talk behind teammates backs, poor sportsmanship, ignoring the coach, etc. Some...
We have been on and seen many parent coached teams. I find the split to be about 50% pitchers parent/25% all around best player parent/25% mediocre-least talented player parent. To break that down even further, the coach parent view of their daughter is split 70% best thing since sliced bread...
I've recommended Bradley gloves to a number of girls and they all seem to like them. We got my daughter one for when she's not playing 1B and she also likes it. They are made with a smaller hand stall without actually sacrificing glove size.
I'll also agree that before buying a new glove...
My sister is in the food service industry and some of the local municipalities make operating food trucks/food carts damn near impossible. Each municipality has there own set of fees and requirements. For example, one food truck I know can't go a town over since they only have 3 sinks, not 4...
As far as I know, there aren't any settings on GC that would allow only staff members to see stats, unless no parents are invited/listed with the team. If that's the case, why use GC if you're not taking full advantage of scheduling/notifications/messaging? A plain old scorebook would honestly...
My DD goes to a hitting coach every other week from April-November, (in season). They make minor adjustments, notice bad habits forming, strengthening the swing, etc... From December-March, every week. These sessions are used to develop larger changes/adjustments in her swing. Her coach does...
This past spring, we played in a non-sanctioned tournament with a drop dead rule and the score did not revert to the previous inning. This was not a friendly, round robin, but an actual tournament. I've never heard of such a thing. In that particular case, away team every flip. We lost in...
I'm not a fan of fundraising when the "donator" doesn't get anything in return, like canning. We do 3 fundraisers a year that pay for additional things, like socks/jerseys for a specific tournament, like cancer awareness, pizza/ice cream for the girls, full team clinics, team bonding...
I totally agree. I should have explained that we attended a 1 day skills camp in the Spring of 2021. It was there we got the info on the weekly sessions, which has benefited my daughter.
I believe strongly in networking due to the nature of my job and I've noticed that in softball, networking...
We have a local D1 school that offers weekly clinics/skills sessions as well as team camps. The clinics are weeknights throughout the fall-winter and run by the college coach and various players. The attendance during the weeknight clinics is super low, mainly due to lack of advertising but...
We have a pretty unique way we host friendly's and we've seen it benefit not just our team, but our competition. I started it when I was coaching my daughter in 10U and have continued into 12U, even though I'm not a coach on that team, the concept was adopted.
We'll set up a round robin with 4...
We are also located in the NE and pay at plate seems to be the norm, which I honestly can't stand.
Entry fees typically range for us $400-$600 plus ump fees and most tournaments are 4gg, (3 pool, single elimination bracket)
So total costs can range from $50-$80 per girl depending on games...
I did. I bought 2 of each size. A video I watched on relacing the DCT pattern bars used 2 needles and another video explained that the 2.25" is needed (easier) for tighter areas. My daughter did tell me the glove felt better at last night's practice, although she rolled her eyes at me when I...
Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I ordered a mix of 1/4" and 3/16" lace. I spent some time watching the videos suggested and seems pretty straightforward, although the web/cross bar area looks a bit tedious. I'll post some photos once the job is complete
I appreciate all the responses and found humor in how off-topic this went LOL!
When I got home last night I took a better look at her glove. I snugged up the laces yet again and the glove did indeed tighten up and look almost 100% better. I'm going to attempt to relace it and give it a good...
