    Ummmm...

    Holy. Crap. That is quite a score.

    Wanting to play travel ball instead of high school season

    That sounds like a culture issue. Coach has to control and create the culture they want there. Shut down the negative crap and create a positive, thriving culture. If that means cutting kids who are cancerous, so be it. Set the expectations early that they WILL be good teammates. Teams with...

    Wanting to play travel ball instead of high school season

    SO many reasons to play high school ball. Building bonds and memories with your classmates, NOT being able to choose the coach, being a leader and teacher to those girls who may not be as talented as you, learning to be a good teammate and sit the bench when needed, everyday practice and weight...

    [emoji15]Extending College Eligibility Again

    I do think it is worrisome my 18 year old (late birthday) could potentially be facing 24-25 year old women playing NCAA softball her freshman year (assuming you have a few that redshirted then used an extra two years of eligibility). And doesn't that change the dynamics in the locker room...

    Committed!!!

    My 2022 committed last week to her dream school, Georgia State. She adores the program, coaches and the team. Has been going to camps there since she was 11 and was absolutely pumped to finally commit there. Great offer too :giggle: I am just so proud of her hard work and determination which...

    DD having a great Junior season

    I was actually posting this yesterday and there was an issue. Struggled a little against really slow pitching last night and went 2 for 6. But between games (doubleheader) she immediately walked out to the cages and asked the head coach to help her make some adjustments. She was hitting...

    DD having a great Junior season

    DD's regional average is .765 and she has reached safely 21 of 22 plate appearances in the last 6 regional HS games. She is KILLING IT. And I am so proud of the hard work that she has put in to make the necessary adjustments. New hitting instructor is definitely helping her make some...

    Did the umpire get it correct, bad initial call

    Love this explanation. Thanks!

    Pick Up Pitchers at Nationals? Yes or No?

    Another perspective a dad offered me last night that I truly hadn't thought of: these girls that are already committed don't need to be pitching every inning of every game to stay sharp and improve. Too many great pitchers get ridden when the games are important. He was saying basically a...

    Pick Up Pitchers at Nationals? Yes or No?

    Lol True! But we are down to one at the moment. We only carry three. We have plenty of mound time to offer!

    Pick Up Pitchers at Nationals? Yes or No?

    Um, we need a pitcher. Any of those disgruntled players/parents want to come play for GA Impact? :cool: If there is an injury, overuse issue, or maybe your ace is in a major funk, I could see picking up A pitcher. One extra pitcher. I can't see picking up two or three just because we want to...

    GHSA votes to keep full fall schedule, delays football to September

    Good point. I didn't even check, just took coach's word for it from our parent (zoom) meeting. I am afraid Elite 8 in Columbus is either not going to happen or look VERY different this year.

    GHSA votes to keep full fall schedule, delays football to September

    DD HS is GHSA, and we play our first game Saturday. Most of the schools around us have already played something this week. Fingers crossed but I am not holding my breath. Coach is preaching hand washing, sanitizing, self monitoring, and begging to make it to State Playoffs. GHSA has limited...

    Proud Dad! DD commits

    Congrats!!! Sounds like she is a great kid with good parents and a true love of the game to be able to fight through all of that.
