    Senior game..

    Should all seniors play (not just bat) during the senior game? My daughter has not had a good season (explained in another thread) and we're not sure her coach will put her in during the senior game. I'm just curious what others have experienced.

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I was referring to his comment that he would NEVER talk to a coach about his daughter's playing time..I was wondering if he would stay silent in those situations..That's all. I don't agree with the "the best play and and often the rest complain". We have taught our daughter to work hard and...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    You would be ok with a coach blowing your daughter off and not giving her specific feedback on what she can work on? What if the coach told your daughter the starting lineup is set and there's nothing that she can do and she's SOL. Coaches aren't gods and can do shitty things.. As parents, you...

    Confusing Situation With Senior Daughter Not Getting Playing Time On HS Team

    I feel your pain.. Our daughter's situation is very similar. She injured her ankle on the last game of club before high school season started. She's cleared and still not being given the opportunity to play. She is committed and will be playing college ball next year, so we're a bit perplexed...

    Starting lineup locked at the beginning of the season??

    - Your DD is a senior. Is this a new coach or has this been going on for 4 years? She transferred in last year. We moved and her last high school team was stacked, so she wanted to transfer schools to have an opportunity to pitch. She sat out the first half of the season because she transferred...

    This was our thoughts exactly..

    Starting lineup locked at the beginning of the season??

    I have no idea what this guy is doing.. My daughter pitches and plays third base, so she's capable to playing either position very well. There are a couple of other things that are concerning to us.. He's made disparaging comments to my daughter about other players and we believe he's talking to...

    Starting lineup locked at the beginning of the season??

    That's not an option where we live. Club ball goes dark during school ball.

    Starting lineup locked at the beginning of the season??

    My daughter's HS coach told her that the starting lineup has been locked for the season.. He basically told her that there's nothing she can do to earn a spot even though the season has just started. My husband and I are a bit confused about this..I thought the best players were put on the field...

    Good Read...

    I received this in an email today and thought it had good information in it, so I'm sharing. I had to cut and paste as I didn't know how else to share. The article wasn't online, so I couldn't link it. The D1 or Bust Mentality By: Rex Grayner "If you ask today’s high school athlete where...

    It's not all about speed

    My daughter works on her speed, but her strength is command and control.

    It's not all about speed

    Can I get an AMEN!! My daughter's first pitching coach was all about command and control, which has paid off with our daughter. She's not the fastest pitcher, but she can place that ball and it moves!!

    School Choice and High School Athletics

    Good question.. I don't know why they couldn't use the same rules in place now. For example, in our district you can play for your zoned school, but if you transfer to another school within the district you have to sit for a portion of the season. My daughter just transferred and is having to...

    High School Softball

    My dd's HS team played in a high school tournament this weekend and placed 2nd. My daughter just transferred in, so she has to sit 1/2 the season and it's killing her. I can't wait till she can get out there and play.

    High School Ball

    Tryouts are over and my daughter FINALLY made varsity in her junior year.. She's excited. It's funny how she committed to play college ball before she made the high school varsity team.. :D

    D2 Offer Question

    My daughter is going to play DII and will be getting both athletic and academic money.

    High School Ball

    Tryouts start on Monday and I'm guessing first game is a few weeks after that. My daughter is looking forward to playing school ball this year as the last two years were not very positive. She's at a new school with only 2-3 pitchers on Varsity as opposed to 6 at her last school. New HS coach...

    How tall are softball players?

    I guess what I was trying to say is that a shorter girl can pitch at a top D1 school, so it's not always about height, but skill. I do believe, taller girls have an advantage over shorter girls when it comes to pitching. Is that always the case? No. I may not be explaining myself very...

    How tall are softball players?

    Nope. Didn't say that.

    How tall are softball players?

    Personally, I don't think height matters in pitching. My daughter pitches and is 5'3". She's a good little pitcher and has great command/control, but isn't the fastest pitcher on the block. Now, I think my daughter puts in a fair amount of work, but she doesn't work at it everyday. Could she put...
