    Covid extra year eligibility

    How are some kids able to be entering their 5th year? I’m talking about the players who started in 2019. So you have players on rosters 2019, 2020, (2021 was the missed season). 2022, 2023 and now they are entering 2024 on rosters. Are they not counting 2020? Was that a shortened season? Sent...

    A message to coaches from a pitching instructor.

    My daughter had a private hitting and catching coach. He taught a hitting style that apparently, at least at the time, her travel coaches did not like. She had a coach at 14u and 18u that hated that style. (Launch angle hitting is the best way to describe it). Her 14u coach took her out of the...

    Anyone have any experience transferring D3 to D3?

    What if a kid is transferring for academics and going to transfer whether she makes the softball team or not. I’m assuming she can just contact the coach after her transfer? No forms needed? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Note to College Freshman Parents

    Reflections on my DD’s freshman year she just finished She sat. A lot. She consistently hit the weight room, even when it was just her and a handful of upper classmates. She always put in extra. Two teammates quit at the end off the season, before playoffs were even over because they didn’t...

    Playing time based on cheering

    Get away from that coach. ASAP. One of the stupidest things I ever heard a coach say. Hey coach, quiet kids can play too. Being loud doesn’t come naturally for some. Get a clue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Catcher gear

    Don’t know if I should post this on here or the Equipment forum. I’m going to go with here since this is where the most catching people are. Here’s my question…I haven’t had to buy catching gear in a few years. What’s good now? College freshman, 5’8” 180lbs. She’s worn the Wilson pro max for...

    Questions about "playing up"

    That’s a good point. [emoji6]My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD in second grade. Hers was more a focus issue than a hyperactivity problem. She didn’t have an issue in softball or home life, so I was surprised. She’s 18 now and just completed her first semester in college with a 4.0. GPA. (Lots...

    Questions about "playing up"

    More importantly…how is her focus in school? That’s how you can tell if she has a focusing issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LS LXT vs Xeno? What’s the difference?

    LS LXT vs Xeno? What’s the difference?

    My daughter just purchased one from a teammate that I swear it is a 2021. It is at least a 20. Teammate just decided it wasn’t for her. My daughter had great success in the Fall with it. First year college. That’s why I was asking. She tried an LXT before and didn’t like it but she definitely...

    Meetings with Coach

    That was a great reply to the question posed by coach. I think most players would give that type of answer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Is this a viable method for catching?

    My DD is currently playing in college, 5’8” 180 lbs. Not one coach has discussed the new style yet. I’m interested to see if it comes up over the off season. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Honest question

    My DD’s high school had a team that was mostly filled with kids who were just there for the social aspect. I don’t think they had the student interest to build a true competitive program, even if they tried. On her travel team, the majority of players were in touch with college coaches. Sent...
