    HS Softball Started

    We have 398 in our school, but that includes 8th grade. I'm not sure if the 8th graders are allowed to try out, I've never seen one on the team, although it is pretty competitive. We have both V and JV plus cuts are made. I'm really surprised at how well we do for such a small school. We won...

    How far of a drive to a tourney before you decide to fly?

    We drove to scenic city, which was 9 hours. I didn't think it was a bad drive at all. Colorado would've been a 16 hour drive so we flew there.

    Force 3

    Has anyone tried the Force 3 catchers gear? They've got a great deal right now where you buy the mask and get the chest protector and shin guards for free? Has anyone tried their stuff...

    What's similar to a 2018 grey ghost?

    What's similar to a 2018 grey ghost?

    Well, I think my daughter is about to go through her last 2018 ghost. We've had a few over the years. I know nothing will be exactly the same but what bat is going to be close to that same feel?

    College and majors to stay away from??

    As someone mentioned earlier, nursing and engineering are two fields that some college coaches don't want you to major in. Others are ok with it. If you do a search on this board with nursing in the title, you should come up with a thread of colleges that are ok with it. Those might be some...

    13U self-taught pitcher - please critique

    If there are not any combined teams, maybe she could contact the HS coach and offer to throw live BP during practice?

    Winter workouts

    My 17 year old daughter is a powerlifter, it's been great for her in softball! She also adds in exercises for explosiveness (like box jumps) and rotation (like medicine ball slams) and makes sure she gets core work in. Her hitting coach talks quite about about how the hip hinge in hitting...

    Careers for athletes?

    Thanks, those are some interesting ideas. Hadn't really thought too much about this route, she thinks she wants more hands on involvement, but this made her check into what other options there are for dual enrollment her last semester of senior year and they have a sports management class so...

    Careers for athletes?

    Anyone have thoughts about careers for girls who want to work with athletes for a living? The options I can think of are athletic trainer, physical therapy, coaching, sports nutrition, strength and conditioning coach. It seems like athletic trainers hardly makes any money unless you are with a...
