    PGF vs Alliance (provocative but sincere questions)

    1. Is alliance dead or alive after this year? 2. What percent of PGF berths are earned (qualifiers or prior year performance) vs granted? 3. Are teams that supported the formation of alliance and avoided PGF remaining steadfast in that approach?

    One night before her 14th birthday it happened

    The rule for years has been that it doesn't count unless the form is good. It was and she's pretty happy with this birthday present.

    Scholarship Program to help kids play-can you offer any advice?

    Hello everyone, I'm developing a small program for our local league to help kids without the means to participate in our travel team: mostly local but one big week long trip and a number of other hotel stays. Broad construct is that we are a 501(c)(3) org. I'll find some parents that will...

    Michael Lewis's audio book about travel softball; playing to win

    I just finished it. Highly entertaining description of the life of a travel softball dad, college recruiting and admissions, and some behind the scenes on the Hayley Woods and the Cal Nuggets. Has anyone read it? It was a surreal description of the live many of us are living. Playing to Win

    High quality catchers mitt for bucket dad

    Looking for a high quality (HOH), Nakona, A2000, etc 34" catchers glove that is broken in/has some life left (and hopefully some pop). I have a tough case of tennis elbow and I don't think breaking a new one in is wise. My current mizuno isn't cutting it as my daughters get into the mid 50s with...

    How does height impact ability to reach the outside pitch and needed bat size

    I have 2 DDs. One is 5'8, one 5'4. We were debating how height impacts the ability to hit an outside pitch all other things equal. The first volley was longer arms=more plate coverage. Then we thought about the fact that the hands stay in and in some sense coverage comes from across the body...

    WTB 33/23 cage bat

    DD has graduated to a 33/23 and I like to match the game and cage length/weight. Doesn't need to be fancy, but does need to be durable and reasonably priced. Let me know if you have something that fits the bill. Prefer composite as aluminum tends to sting and impact practice IMHO though I'm...

    Lefty power Hitter: 33 -10 vs 32 -9 vs 32 -10

    Hi All, My DD is 12U, but plays up on a 14U team and is really strong with powerful legs. She's been swinging a 32 -10 (Demarini CF Zen) for a couple years now and has never had a problem handling it. She's 5'4 and probably 130, but over a year ago put a couple into a 195 foot fence and I...

    How can I raise my softball IQ on fundamentals 20 points in the next week?

    Hi All, Despite my persistent and earnest reluctance to coach since my stint in 8U, I've been commandeered to assistant coach a 14U "select" (Think B travel) team to due a shortage of other unqualified and willing dads. Fortunately the head coach is an ace. I played 14 years of baseball and...

    Does my lefty pitcher need a second glove for 1B/OF?

    Hi All, I grew up as an outfielder and benefitted many times from my monstrous glove. My daughter is a 14U pitcher but plays 1B and outfield when not in the circle. She currently uses a 12.25 Vinci which I think runs a bit small. Worth buying a bigger glove for outfield and 1B,or just a dad...

    GoPro Hero8 Black + LynkSpyder....Video Recording...Any pros out there?

    Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a Gopro Hero8 Black and Lynkspyder setup. Basically the one in the picture below. The spyder and battery setup are awesome, but I could use some help on production. Key Issues: 1. GoPro splits the file into 10 minute segments...probably 10 or so...

    10u pitch count?

    Hi all, my daughter is a pretty good 10u pitcher (11 soon) that is P1 on her team. She's tall and strong and has a good change and a developing curve. I'm trying to make sure we keep her healthy and have been doing a fair amount of core and glute work. She has good form after a couple years with...
