Harsh but true. LOL
I live about 45 minutes south of Chicago and would like to disagree with you but you are correct. The midwest is just not ideal for March and April softball outside. The only reason we stay here is that I can't make the kind of money I currently make as plumber in the...
Talent/recruiting is the #1 reason that the Big 10 is behind the other P5 conferences. I was watching the Illinois vs Nebraska game today, there is a significant difference in the talent in Big 10 vs the SEC, ACC, or Big 12. Everything from team speed, quickness, and power. When I watch a Big 10...
No way I would pay that fee for group hitting lessons.
I pay $40 per 1/2 hour for my daughter. We go about every other week. For every paid hitting lesson she is also hitting 5-6 times in a cage in between lessons. I pay $100 per month for use of the indoor cage, there is a dome about 5 miles...
Parents can get good video of live at bats from foul territory between home and 1st, or home and 3rd depending on a right or left handed hitter. I take video of my daughter's live at bats pretty frequently. Most parents don't take advantage of this. IMO, video of hitters from behind home plate...
NAIA has a 10 athletic scholarship limit rule. Less than D1 but more than D2. Not saying that all the girls are not on full rides but it is not possible for the entire team to be full athletic scholarships only. They can certainly give academic scholarships at NAIA schools.
My daughter's...
I don't think Texas would be the favorite but I could Texas possibly winning that series. I am not convinced that Oklahoma's pitching is as good as last year.
I am going with she left the base early on purpose. I guess it could have been a total brain fart also. Digby was having an incredible game before that last at bat, believe she was 4 for 4 at the plate before that at bat.
I believe that base runner on 3rd base is Justin Fields (Chicago Bears...
Daughter's High School team does on tournament the entire season. It is a Wednesday and Thursday tournament and all the games are played in the evening. 1 game the first night, and two on the 2nd night for a total of three games at most. Single elimination with a consolation game if you lose...
Just out of curiosity, what is the total enrollment of this school? Daughter's high school is in 1800-1900, that would be boys and girls. They field 3 teams, Varsity, JV, and a Freshman team.
I personally feel that working on skills individually is far more beneficial than team practice. Of course there are some things that are difficult to work on individually but for the most part training individually is the way to go if you the parent can actually teach.
I can take my daughter...
I personally really like the ratio of games to practice that is involved with the high school season. Daughter is fortunate that she has some really good softball coaches at her high school varsity level. Her head coach played SS for the Missouri Tigers, the other 3 coaches all played in college...
