    Am I wrong? Safety concern

    When my Dd's teams have done mixed age group scrimmages like you describe the teams have swapped pitchers so (per your example) the 14U pitchers are up against 14u batters and likewise for 12u. That keeps the games closer, but doesn't address the size and strength differential. It was a surprise...

    2014 Xeno vs 2014 CF6

    Dr Pipes....did that bat split lengthwise as pictured? I guess my impression was that the barrels were separating from the handles. I didn't think that they were coming apart like that.

    Releasing Players Question

    For a balanced view, you could exchange "parents" for "coach". It goes both ways.

    Husband isn't insterested--Help Guys!

    Well, he needs to make a decision. Is it better to maintain a relationship with professional athletes viewed through the media or with his children? Also, while you could do both, you can't do it the same way. Want to call a pro player an incompetent loser and endlessly criticise his/her...

    Tryout - Poor communication/professionalism?

    That takes quite a bit less effort than what one player (and family) expend to attend a tryout.

    Tryout - Poor communication/professionalism?

    It actually starts before tryouts IMO. I especially appreciate the coaches that include "call or email if you have questions" in their tryout notices, and then never respond to your inquiry. So far this tryout season I had one guy that required three emails before he responded and another that...

    Frustrated Parent

    You could go to a new team...."We never had a coach this good!:p" From what you have said, your dd was never treated fairly, particularly when she was the only pitcher. Oh yeah, I would wait until the very last minute to tell the current coach.

    Playing Poorly-Afterwards

    If the whole team is underperforming, not just a few individuals, I would say that there may be a lack of leadership. No amount of scolding or running will make up for that.

    Which is best scoring App

    I use iScore and like it pretty well. You will probably find that most use of us that use a scoring app use either iScore or GameChanger. Actually, I have both but once I had gotten over the initial learning curve I just stuck with iScore. Why not try both and see which you prefer?

    How long to warm up before a game???

    A 20 to 30 minute warm up works for my daughter.

    Face masks

    Coaches that take the "mask=lesser player" position should have to throw BP for a week or so, then move over to SS......

    Guest Player - Rec.

    My daughters have both filled in for teams that were short on regular players. If they got anything less than equal treatment from the team they agreed to help that would have been the last time they agreed to help. They don't have to receive any special treatment (like playing more than a...

    What is the purpose?

    The quality of my daughters pitching seems to be tied to her warm up and 20-30 mins sounds about right, assuming no other throwing before warm up for pitching. Want bad results....rush her warm up.:)

    E-Scoring Apps: ISCORE vs. GAMECHANGER?

    I use iScore on an iPad. Daylight visibility is not a serious issue. I am comfortable scoring up to 4 games on a full charge as long as the wifi radio is turned off.
