Runners on first and second. Hit ball hits the rubber bouncing into left field. Base umpire screams dead ball and puts the hitter at first and the other runners at third and second. What would the rule be that he applied?
DD umpired her fist game last night, with about 24 hours notice. Supposed to be an intro to competitive league made up of C level teams. However it looks like one travel ball team in each age group and the rest are teams of inexperienced girls signed up for rec ball. Like the game DD did last...
DD got the Jen Schro helmet last fall, and then got the legs and chest a couple of weeks ago. She is having an issue with the neck protection part of the helmet getting caught in the neck protector of the chest. Anyone else having this issue? If so what have you done?
Has anyone gone to a “College Coaches Showcase Camp” it appears to be put on by College Softball Prospects? If you have did you get any value out of it? Even if it was just the evaluation.
Second question, where is the best place to create and post a recruiting profile? Cost is a factor...
DD is a 2023 looking at mainly D3, but also 2 or 3 D2 schools. All the schools are several States away. What should be doing now for the D3? What should she be doing for the D2’s? Is it the same?
Last fall my DD had strained her UCL and was advised not to throw for 3 months. So unfortunately she had to set out the fall season, at first the coach was understanding and fine with the decision. However about a month later he called said she would be too far behind the other girls and he...
Quick question, how often do you think a 14u B or A team should practice? In season? Off season? I am referring to full team practices not individaul workouts.
So my DD a catcher started to feel pain in her arm when she threw in late July. We went to a sports medcine doctor and she was diagnosed with a strained ucl. The doctor set her up with rehab and said she could still throw just maybe move to first where there would be fewer throws. Explained...
After catching for 3 years DD has started flinching when she goes to block the ball. She has not been injured and had never shown any fear of any kind behind the plate before. Has anyone else experienced this and is there any advice on how to cure it?
Ok I need help, so far I have screwed this up twice. DD moved from rec to TB last fall and she picked a team that she liked, I had my doubts because they seemed a bit disorganized. The team imploded by the time fall ball was over so it was back looking for another team. This time we settled...
Ok her swing is a work in progress this was taken during her fourth lesson. What are some things you see I can remind her about when she is working on her own.

Thanks for the help.
Through the first eight games of the season (4 tournament and 4 league, lots of rainouts), my DD had gone hitless. However last night the dam broke and she went 3 for 3 with a double. The best part however was her work behind the plate. She threw out her first two baserunners ever, and...
My DD started with a new hitting instructor a few weeks ago a former college player with some accolades. Her swing has become more sound in just a few lessons. However I'm curious the first few lessons she used baseballs for about half the swings and then at this last lessons used just...
DD 12u team is debating using walk up music for when the players come up to bat. My thoughts are that I can see it as something fun for the girls, however I can also see how it could get annoying I'm curious to others opinions and experiences are with and about walk up music.
DD seems to be too anxious this year trying too make to much happen. She is swinging at bad pitches, hurrying throws, basically pressing too hard. She does none of this in practice, lessons, or in previous seasons. Any advice on how to get her to relax and let the game come to her? Thanks.
DD is going to have to switch teams as her team has imploded after fall ball. Question one how hard is it going to be to find a team for spring? Question 2 she turned down one of the three teams she tried out for in fall because they had three catchers and I was worried she wouldn't get enough...
Has anybody ordered stuff from Softball.com. They have a bag and bat I was going to order for DD, but saw some terrible reviews on some review sites. Not sure how legit those reviews are so thought I would see if anyone on here had experience ordering from them. Thanks for your help.
