    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...

    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!!

    Field conditions - is this normal?

    My daughter's HS team has been complaining for 2 years about rocks on the field and the AD says it's normal and even if they picked up rocks everyday more would just show up. DD says other schools and travel fields don't have rocks - any idea why we do? Also the field is so dusty. The AD says...

    Dreaded discussion with coach - hitting advice not working for DD

    Hi all, DD joined a really good team full of great hitters after fall ball. Before joining them she was a great hitter too having only 1 strike out in 15 fall showcases. After fall, the team fell apart and she was put on this new team that she LOVES and is really good. Upon joining this team...

    LXT or Ghost 33/24 (cracked ok)

    Looking for a drop 9 for DD to try out. Since it's just to try out and see if she can handle the weight I'll take your old beat up bat and will consider a cracked bat priced appropriately.

    Headfirst Honor Roll camps - thoughts?

    DD is a high-academic player. This Headfirst camp has A LOT of schools she is considering. At $800 it seems like a bargain as she is actively pursuing 11 schools that are attending and it's driving w/hotel distance. Before I sign her up I wanted to know if anyone here had experience with these...

    Can one block a DFP poster?

    There is a poster here who mostly argues and nit-picks posts - if I click on their name and click "ignore" will that block them from seeing my posts and me seeing theirs similar to the facebook function? Thanks

    Best place for the team profile sheet?

    Where is the best place to hang the team's profile sheet - outfield, dugout, behind the plate, all, or someplace else? DD's new team has it's first tourney this weekend and it's the first time DD has been on a team that is trying to promote its girls (first year 16U) and I made up the profile...

    Swing or no?

    EDITED to make clearer - this was not a real game - it was just a skills/prospect *pretend* game with one of the asst. coaches acting as a blue. The coaches said at one point they were making the "strike zone" huge to move things along, after the first inning they had the girls approach with a...

    How should DD tell coach she doesn't pitch anymore?

    DD was a pitcher but second year 12U stopped pitching for travel. She would warm up over the winter to be ready to pitch for school. She pitched for middle school b/c she enjoys it and was good enough to get the win. Then last year, as a freshman, she made Varsity and the coach barely used her...

    Illegal step/hop?

    Went to a camp last week and saw a pitcher doing this. No one said a word. This can't possibly be legal, right?

    Showcase team benefits if you don't like the colleges?

    DD's team canvassed the parents for our interest in creating a "showcase" 16U team. They have promoted various showcases to the girls this year and I've seen the showcases the 18U attends..... Softball or no, the colleges attending are ones my DD would never consider. I asked the coach, but...

    Who's mistake?

    Who's mistake is this? Bad throw from 1st? Bad fielding by C? Both?

    JMU - what a shock!

    BOOM! JMU came to play and Mizzou just had too many errors in the field. I like a good upset!

    Varsity, High Honor Roll and mystery award!

    A good week in our house! DD is one of 3 Freshman to make the varsity team (the only starter - primary first baseman and #2 pitcher) and brought home a report card with a 99/100 GPA and won some award at school that they won't announce until the presentation ceremony. When I reached out to her...

    Game changer manager - linking to existing CG acct. Q

    I couldn't find the answer by searching so hope someone has the answer. Another parent has been doing our team's GC for a couple years now. Since he's already doing the scoring I was thinking about approaching him to get access to stream with GC Mgr so we can have the overlay and I can still...

    When DD's HS doesn't care about softball

    This is DD's first year playing HS ball. Last year (8th grade) made the HS team but ... covid. So this spring she was *super* excited. As spring got closer, we started to hear about Lacrosse and Baseball teams having "unofficial" practices and scrimmages - but nothing for Softball. We drive up...

    That Mom?

    I don't want to be "that mom" but I'm afraid I might have to be and am looking for courage/tips. So far (second year 14U) I have not seen anyone recording games other than getting up with their phone during their DD's at bat. It doesn't seem to be something people do around here (southern...

    Recruiting manager?

    Hi, DD is going to choose a college/university based on academics but wants to apply as a student-athlete and hopefully get a roster spot or invitation to walk on and try out. Her HS had us sign up for NCSA but I'm wondering who the parents here used. I am completely and totally green at this...
