    ...feeling burnt out?? Would like dad help on this one.

    I wish more players would post on this forum so we can get a players perspective. Thank you! The burn out is definitely felt more now than ever with COVID, my kiddo has been able to experience sleeping in on weekends, catching up on movies, etc. But rest assured there is not a moment as a Dad...

    HELP! North Dakota travel softball?

    Appreciate all the emails and information over past few weeks. Been crazy and we found out a few days ago we are redirected to Texas. Better for family, it’s where I am from and can retire. Don’t mind looking at snow, just not living in it that long. Lol. You guys were great, best of luck on the...

    HELP! North Dakota travel softball?

    Thanks guys, we are still dealing with the initial shock at this point. If we do not get a change in orders, we will be there for August/fall. She is finishing out her summer with her team here in California. Trying to take it all in and will no more if they don't accept my denial to reserves. I...

    HELP! North Dakota travel softball?

    We got orders to probably the worst isolated place for softball after being here in Cali for 3 Years. Minot, ND. DD is 14u pitcher (top starter, still don't like calling her ace) and I am trying to wrap my head around options for her. I looked at the midstate/north page and nothing much updated...

    Pitchers Personalities

    I can add to this one. Good question. My DD finished first 14u fall and started as ace, finished as ace on team but some really good pitchers are on the team and IMO they are interchangeable. Each of them are diff in the Circle. Mine is more of stoic but will have occasional smile on a K, or...

    Taking DD to college campuses just so they could look around?

    Thanks cannonball for mentioning where you went on campus. That was my question and if others could say where they stopped by and if they had any places are "have tos" or places you know you get denied to walk through. (training facilities,dorms, softball feilds, etc). Looking forward to going...

    Been waiting to post here! First OTF!

    First year in 14u, she’s one of two ace pitchers and this weekend played old team, won and closed out game with two K’s.. Left on good terms between us and coach, but she did want to beat old teammates.. Always a good feeling. She laid an egg pitching next game, (not really, but I’m her biggest...

    Minimum Innings in order for a pitcher to progress

    Wheresmycar is dead on right IMO. My kid was getting 1 pool game a weekend and then maybe a bracket game at the 10 and 12u level since we had so many "pitchers" at that age. Some parents get pissed off about it but I viewed it as saving my kids arm and staying healthy until it starts to matter...

    Military Move coming up. If you could put your DD in any state? Where would it be?

    Long Baller, Yeah, HS is not the important aspect but I am old school and feel if you can contribute to your HS team, you should play for your HS. Oklahoma is the concern with Volleyball as her second sport and both in same season. Keep in mind this is all hypothetical...lol. These are top...

    Military Move coming up. If you could put your DD in any state? Where would it be?

    Yes. It is each there own and thank you for your service. I have been in 23 years and this is my last move. Likely stay where we end up if we like it so for the first time in my career I have enough rank to finally have my choices considered and if I can include my family input it's even...

    Military Move coming up. If you could put your DD in any state? Where would it be?

    Thanks for replies so far. Yes my move is limited to those areas, but just a general question where would you guys pick for your kid as well. Cannonball- absolutely nothing with men as coaches, I just see it as a question I cant find an answer to when I look at oklahoma teams /roster and see...

    Quick backstory- 2024 DD playing TB since 7yr old. Started travel at 9yr old in Louisiana x 2 years, now in Central California for past 2.5 and exploded with softball skills. Really progressed well in Cali! She is 8th grade pitcher/UT for Central Coast National Known TB org at 14u, all 06 team...

    High school ball - end of season

    That’s great! I am sure she is proud. I noticed you saying finished up HS ball? In the fall? I am very curious how that works since we live in California right now expecting to move to Oklahoma (military) next summer after travel ball season. She will be a freshman. And Oklahoma has fall HS...

    2018 Easton Ghost

    Just want to send a shout out to core for the ghost bats we ordered. Not only did they get to our house fast but well packaged and impressed with the whole order process. Thanks Core! She was always a contact hitter but told she should be power, so far this weekend at Coast Cup in Cali she is...
