    What to do... How to help/fix?

    We are a mid-level 18A Team, with 3 pitchers. #1 is pretty good except she has medical issues and she could last a whole game, or only half a game depending on how she is feeling. The problem is #2 and #3. We have allowed the catchers to call their own game (it has created some problems...

    A Really? Moment

    OK situation, we are on defense. A bang/bang play at 1B, throw a little wide. Field Umpire calls runner safe due to pulled foot. Now from my angle (granted its like a 45 degree angle) I do see her heel lift, but toes appear to be in contact with the bag. I asked for time and approached the...

    Canada Cup

    Just got back from playing in the Canada Cup. I must say this was a fun Tournament. There wasn't many Teams from the US, and only from the West Coast, but getting the opportunity to see teams from New Zealand, Japan, China, Chinese Taipei, and Team Canada (although I didn't get to see Danielle...

    Help - Struggling

    Hi all, I help coach an 18 team, we just finished our 4th Tournament and for the life of me I cannot figure out what is going on. The Fall, and the first 2 Tournaments of Summer things were looking really good for us, very solid team both offensive and defensive. The last 2 Tournaments...

    Thoughts?

    A couple of weekends ago we were at a Tournament out of State (neighboring State) and ran into a lady who works for National Scouting Report, a recruiting service. She asked if she could talk to the girls during a break. We agreed and she spoke about the recruiting process and what she could do...

    Thrown ball hits coach

    I have looked for this particular play but couldn't find anything (ASA rules). Situation: we are the defensive team. R1 on 2B, R2 on 1B, batter hits a Single to RF. R1 scores on the hit, R2 is attempting to advance to 3B. The throw tips off of F5 glove then hits the base coach in the foot, the...

    Top Recruit Showcase

    Hi all, Does anyone have experience with this? As far as I can notice, it's the first time in the PNW (Medford) and not sure how many teams attend or will attend. Thanx

    How can you argue this?

    Playing on a field where the infield is cut really deep (300 foot fences, but using temp 200 ft fences). We have R1 on 2B, R2 on 1B, batter hits a pop fly that is between the SS and LF. Umpire calls Infield Fly, batter is out. Which is all fine if it was an IF... the ball landed past the SS...

    A never seen before

    This weekends Tournament was filled with strange things and a first for me. Our HC argued 4 calls, and got 3 reversed (never seen that many reversals before) #1 Runner on 3rd, deep flyball to CF. Ball bounces off CF's glove, then she makes a diving catch of the dropped ball. HP umpire calls the...

    Is this even legal?

    OK "hypotethical" say you have a Commissioner (that also runs a softball side business Tournaments/Tee Shirts ect) he gives himself 7 very large tournaments to be the TD under his softball business. Wouldn't that be considered conflict of interest or at least unethical? Not to mention telling...

    Interesting Interference Play

    We just got back from OKC, during one of our games had an interesting play that I need some help how to handle it as a coach; Runners on 1st and 2nd, 1 out. Batter hits a medium speed ground ball to F4. F4 charges in and fields the ball, the runner on 1st ran into F4. Of course the Field Ump...

    Question to DFP

    A HS student suspended for 21 days caught with illegal substance at school. Student plays 18G for an out of State Team. Would you contact the 18G Coach and clue him in, or let it go?

    Interesting ruling what's correct?

    Playing HS Varsity. Batter hits a deep fly ball to CF, BR thinking she was out, jogs and stops, then starts to return to the plate. Meanwhile, the CF drops the ball. People start yelling and the BR now runs to 1B. Coach calls time and discusses the issue with HP, Plate ump goes out and...

    Old Discussion

    Tried the search but didn't find anything. I remember a thread (although it may not have been this site) where someone had measured a tee distance from a wall, then had tape marks specifying the height of the hits on the wall. Does anyone remember this I'm looking for those measurements

    Defending the 1st & 3rd timing play

    Got burned the other day. 2 outs, runners on the corners. I call one of our 1st & 3rd plays (with 2 outs I called for the throw to 2B to get the runner). Well the opposing coach called the timing play and we defended it poorly. Didn't get an out, and they scored. What are some defensive...

    Flex/DP rule

    Had an interesting thing happen. ASA Regional Qualifer, HC replaces the Flex with the DP and tells the umpire just a defensive change. I whisper that he cannot do that and it's a substitution. The umpire never pulled out line up and said ok. After the game, HC asks the UIC about the situation...
