    Florida gets info on menstrual cycle

    Maybe not for school monitoring, but since progesterone relaxes ligaments, tendons, and joints it might be a worthwhile study to determine if female athletes who menstruate are having higher levels of ACL (and other soft tissue injuries) during that portion of their cycle so they can better...

    Arm management

    My DD was prone to tenonitis in her right elbow. She was a tennis player before softball and would get some bad flare ups. She quit tennis to focus on softball and when she started having elbow problems we thought she just had a weak elbow. This went on for 2 years until she changed teams and at...

    NCSA vs. SportsRecruits platforms?

    I don't use any of those services it's super easy to do on your own. Also I heard at a some recruiting talks that coaches don't like to open links on those sites b/c even if they are not particularly interested, just want to take a look, their email suddenly blows up with constant emails from...

    Prism or CF?

    If those are the two choices - Prism. My understanding is the CF is somewhat end-loaded. DD had a Prism for a little while but broke it in a couple months had it replaced under warranty with a trusty LXT that she's always hit with (a great balanced bat).

    My pitcher is afraid to field her position.HELP

    My DD is playing 18U and wears a fielding mask when playing the infield. You know why - I like her teeth and nose just the way they are. I've seen too many videos of girls taking one right to the face and nose and then need bridge work and plastic surgery which takes them off the field for...

    USSSA Select 30 - Worth It?

    I have no experience with this event but from what I can see I wouldn't go. No college coaches (not that they'd even look over their shoulder at the 14U field), gathering of metric information?, maybe some drills? Unclear. Want to do it for kicks and a trip to FL in Jan? Go for it but I...

    Showcases

    I don't know if it's necessarily true a team needs to be on the main field. DD's team played on "lesser" fields and b/c the girls were working on getting recruited (sending emails, video, profiles, transcripts, etc) the coaches came and saw them. At one showcase we had 3 colleges behind the...

    Showcases

    My DD did that last year and moved up to 18U. The focus is on getting the girls to play good competition and be seen by college coaches. There are basically no rules. For example a coach was watching one of our girls and she drew a walk. They put a runner on first for her and put her back at...

    College softball prospect camp question

    Maybe the quality varies but I found the CCSC camps (College Coaches Showcase Camps) the absolute worst - a complete cattle call waste of time. They kept the girls busy but no one was evaluating anyone, no clipboards, no one watching, just minimal staff running girls from drill station to drill...

    As if we needed another reason why Gamechanger stats cannot be trusted

    If they say they are playing our 16U it doesn't put in information as if that team was playing?

    As if we needed another reason why Gamechanger stats cannot be trusted

    Our team doesn't have a parent doing GC so I always check if the opposing team does to follow the game; I can never remember the count, score, etc. Frequently they just take any team from our organization to use instead of putting in the jersey numbers - which screws up the CG stats for the...

    To Ghost or not to Ghost. That is the question!

    Beware anyone who tells you one size fits all. It really depends on what your DD works best with. If she's strong and can handle the end-weighted Ghost go for it, maybe even try a truly end-loaded bat - you get tons of pop out of an end-loaded bat but they can be hard to wield. Girls tend to...

    Can't access via Chrome?

    Since a recent windows update I can't get onto this site via Chrome. After a few seconds I get a "Aw snap" and took this screen shot of the error code. Is this happening to anyone else? Any clue how I can fix it? TIA!!

    Board Treasurer Doesn't Ever Share Financials - WTF Do I Do?

    Lance it quick like a boil and make sure the other board members know if you don't have director's insurance you are all *personally liable* for missing funds. The IRS could come in and audit at any time so it's important that everyone knows where the money is coming from and where it's going...
