    Shortage of Players

    Is it only my area. Moving to the 14U in January it's seems there are very very limited girls. It seems every team is short and there is a heavy reliance on guess players. It seems to be a crazy drop in players moving from 12U to 14U.

    We have a left handed 1st baseman. on bunts down the 1st baseline we has her coming down with 2nd covering 1st. Because she is a lefty she has to make an extra turn to throw. How do you guys cover bunts and slaps down 1st when your 1st baseman is a lefty.

    When to let a new slapper .... Slap for the 1st time

    I got a brand new slapper. Who has never slapped against a pitcher, but looks awesome in a cage (12U 40 and 50 mph in the cage) We are debating on weather to let her slap in her up coming tournament. I think she needs to go against a pitcher in practice before putting her in a game. She...

    We currently use the book only. I must say after multiple seasons I still suck at the book. So I want to try a score keeping application. Is Game Changer the best or is there a different product you would recommend?
