    Today is "National P*ss Off a Rec Ball Parent" Day!

    I normally communicate through facebook. We've created a group conversation.

    Today is "National P*ss Off a Rec Ball Parent" Day!

    The coolest thing about texting is that you don't have to reply, you don't even have to look at it until you want to. It's a text, not a ticking bomb. They were probably irritated about something prior and unfortunately you received the blowout. It doesn't make it right though. Continue as...

    Resuming a called game in LL

    Weird, I never thought about the reference to girls and guys. Sorry for the confusion. These 'ladies' are my age or about. 35.

    Resuming a called game in LL

    And the other team - a few anyway - are walking around school tellingmy kids they are retarded and stupid and that our team sucks. Really ? It's little league. Who does this ? Where do they get this attitude from ? Makes me angry and to our benefit, it wakes us up. When I played, my HS coach...

    Resuming a called game in LL

    Yes it was the other team's parents. I thought I had authority to do that being a board member. However, once I take the field as a coach, I am not permitted to even talk to the other team's parents. My button is desrespectful adults and parents. Kids- ok, but adults- c'mon, you know...

    Resuming a called game in LL

    We are finally winning 13-7. It's a hot game already because of my big mouth. I was base coaching at 3B. Our ump wasn't authoratative enough a call which got a few parents yelling about the play and how they knew who these umps were for... after only so much of it... I busted. I yelled at...

    Bat Help

    Thanks, you probably just saved me from trashing a $300 bat. I will save it for soft toss, the tee and normal hitting. I will use her other bat for machine pitch.

    Bat Help

    We noticed that at the last game. My pitcher is normally pretty reactive and she could snag them... in the last game, they went straight up the middle between her legs. We were their lunch. We do not have a screen. My pitchers wear fielding masks. What about breaking them in ? Should I start...

    Which rocketech?

    Don't shoot me, but we bought 2 DeMarinis yesterday. a CF5 Insane and a CF6 Hope. I was on the phone with them yesterday and this was their recommendation. After seeing the other team with a CF5 Insane- we had to have one, but after reading your posts- I was lost. An RT could be in her...

    Bat Help

    Very excited. A former employer of my husband's gave us an allowance to buy two new bats. I know it isn't magic, but the girls are excited. We purchased 2 DeMarinis CF5 Insane and CF6 Hope. Justbats.com says it will be at my house today. I'm excited. This 'trampoline' effect sounds really...

    Which rocketech?

    What makes the RT's so good ? Is it the hit ? Does the ball go farther ? Is it just a feel ?

    Bat Help

    I need to purchase a bat for my team of young players. They are 12-14 but are young compared to what your girls probably do as far as hitting the ball. I want a bat like the CF6 Insane, but I don't know what a -10 means ? And also, I've been all over the Little League website and I can not...

    Yes, we will Run !

    I'm glad it helps because I had been googling and searching on how to motivate players with little luck. The bb little league coach told me he runs the boys like crazy... so I thought I would try it. When I played I never had to run for errors- maybe my coach was a softie or maybe we paid...

    Yes, we will Run !

    Wow, I had no idea what an impact of running would have on my players. We always do our basic run, warm up, and stretching. And now, we finish practice with 1 lap around the bases for each error that I see. After a terrible game (our heads weren't we they should have been) I felt the girls...

    Help - Little League, ASA ? Which one ?

    We have one more sign up. I wasn't expecting more than 11 or 12 girls. I know that seems pretty slim to your numbers, but we are a very small town. Anyway, so far have 20 girls signed and we are expecting 5 more, give or take. We only have 11 kids that are in 7-11 age range. I'm not sure how...
