    And just like that....DD is **COMMITTED**

    And just like that my DD is committed. I'm not even sure what to do without the stress and all. No more camps (except for ones to show face with coaches and other commits). DD will be able to have pressure-free fun at her team's showcases. It all happened so quick....lol. I truly feel like...

    The power of a thank you card

    My DD had an unofficial visit this past Friday with a D1 Group of 5 school. It was an unofficial visit but did the whole tour, talked with admissions, tried on a uniform, etc. During one of the walk arounds, I was talking with an assistant coach and he mentioned that he had every single one of...

    Things to ask and discuss on a visit...

    My DD got invited to go on a visit at a local JUCO. This will be her first visit and should be a good primer before Sept 1st. What kinds of things should she be asking or discussing on a visit?

    PGF Huntington Beach Camps

    I see on the PGF site that there is a 4 hour camp on the final day of PGF in Huntington Beach. My question is, are there camps for individual schools during this week? If so, how do I find those? Thanks in advance.

    Stolen Base? Or Error? How should this be ruled in the book or GC?

    Just curious how this should be ruled in the book or GameChanger. Rad's post from the past couple days was fitting for some situations this past weekend. Full disclosure, this is my DD catching. I'm just curious what the forum would say.

    DD called off her HS coach's pitch....

    And let me tell you.....it went over like a lead balloon. Here's the situation, my DD is a 2025 catcher for her 5A varsity team. She catches the majority of the time, especially when their ace is pitching. So she is young and still getting to know the ways her coach works. This weekend, our...

    How do schools get recruits' addresses?

    I have a seen a pretty decent surge of recruits on Twitter receiving mail from various schools. It might be a dumb question, but how are they getting these addresses? I try to guard my address pretty closely. Is it something they are getting from the NCAA Clearinghouse (which I have not done...

    HS coaches say they like multi-sport athletes but......

    I'll start by saying that this is only my opinion but......high school coaches say that they like multi sport athletes, but do they really? Case in point. My DD just finished up her volleyball season. She is a sophomore and plays primarily on JV. She's tall and athletic but never played...

    Why the sudden run of commitments and commitment announcements?

    Why the sudden run of commitments being announced on social media? I would figure that the months after Sept 1st would be the busiest but it seems like the end of the summer might be. Is it because recruits are done with summer schedules and have made visits and such? My DD is a 2025 so I was...

    D1 Colleges/Universities with pre-med tracks and softball

    I wanted to start a separate thread from the engineering and nursing threads in order to specifically highlight a pre-med track. Just some background, my 2025 DD wants to go to go pre-med. She also plays on a national level team that plays a pretty loaded schedule. When talking about majors...

    DD's First career HR!!

    Finally!!! My DD is a second year 14u. She has always been a "hit for average" kind of a hitter. She is always in that .300 to .400 range with mostly singles. She will eat up that 5-6 hole and will drop line drives over the SS all day. Also, she is a catcher....and runs like a...

    New PR for overhand velocity. 63 & 64 mph!!!

    So, my DD is a 2025 and only recently has she been to camps that take metrics. While in Colorado at the Sparkler this past summer, she got clocked at the Bombers Showcase Camp. Over the summer, she was clocked at 61 mph with a pocket radar used by the camp. At the time, I thought that was...

    Securing a streaming camera to a pole....

    So my DD's high school field has netting behind the plate as a backstop. I generally live stream all my DD's games and scrimmages so that my family and friends from other states can watch the games. Well, I HATE streaming from netting. The constant movement, the difficulty in mounting, etc...

    D1 Power 5 coaches remembering my DD!!

    So my DD will be a second year 14u 2025 catcher on a National organization that just recently achieved a National tag within their organization. She has attended a couple of camps this past year and has been really hammering it when it comes to emailing coaches with updates and highlight...

    Leaving a team when they've done nothing wrong....

    *SIGH* Blech.....so as the title suggests, we left our team of 3 and a half years yesterday and they have done nothing wrong. Sorry, but this one may be a long post. A little backstory. We have played for the last 3.5 years for a local A class 14u (well....10u to present-day 14u) team in a...

    Seeding based on points in the FALL!?!

    So, we played in a 14u tournament over this weekend where the bracket seeding was based off of USSSA points. Easy enough right? Well, more than half of the teams had no points!! This is the FALL. This was our first tournament. It seems to me that it would make more sense to simply do a...

    DD has a throwdown that makes the runner turn around and go back to 1st!!

    My DD plays on a 12u team and we were playing up in a 14u Open Class tournament. Ended up placing second so not too shabby. Anyways, earlier in the day I caught this gem on camera. It was a high pitch and the batter squared to bunt it but pulled the bat back. My DD was already in motion and...

    Used 2020 CF 31"/21oz

    Used for the Fall only. Apparently between the winter break and quarantine my DD shot up about 6". She just outgrew it. Great bat. Very little action seen with it. Looking to get $250 and we can work out the shipping (I'll probably just include shipping to keep it easy). Let me know if you...
