My DD started 7th grade this year which is the first year they are eligible for school ball in SC. Went to her middle school tryouts and the coach said you don't belong here. Goes to high school tryout the next day and made varsity. coach said id rather have her develop with me than JV. We've...
we have been on 2 teams. one was all team fundraisers and everyone raised as much money as possible and all the money went into one big pot. Some families were better at raising money than others, but there was never any hard feelings. the second team everyone was responsible for an amount that...
The tryout was basically a metric combine...home to first time, overhand velo, exit velo, pop time for catchers, velo for pitchers and then the eye test on grounders, fly balls, throwing to first, and front toss. took about 4 hours.
Also curious if it's worth it to make the trip to OKC. She just did the first round of tryouts. It was pretty cool as 4 of the coaches are local college coaches and 1 was a former USA nationals team player. The Carolina's team has 3 first round tryouts(130 players) in different areas then a...
I agree with the orgs that LE said. Didnt know there was a bandits team in the Carolinas. Do you know where or who coaches?
Ill also add Firecrackers and MOJO established in the Carolinas recently.
Also Batbusters just formed a 12u team upcoming this spring but im not sure where they are out of.
i never really thought about this until now. Our coaches daughter is probably one of the worst on the team, but also sits her fair share. She is however a very good teammate and is always very positive. ive never thought about it as a reflection of the coach until now. they seem to have a good...
The reason I asked what level she’s played at is because here in the Carolina’s and Georgia we are oversaturated with travel ball teams. There is a big difference between A teams and B teams around here. If she is used to playing on a competitive team that seeks out competition you will have to...
our neighbor did the nursing program. she got her degree in 5 years, with the extra year being the more demanding classes and internships. She is now graduated and doing her clinical work to get into PA school. i can be done, maybe just not in the time frame as traditional students.
yes this happens all the time, lots of easy outs. most of the time the runner stealing second is just jogging anyways. after we throw thru once then we will have the shortstop crash and can pick the girl off trying to go home. this was second year 12's
Not trying to fool coaches, but if the catcher can stick a low pitch without pushing it out the zone it looks better.
This is about the pitcher getting recruited, my daughter is just along for the ride. but yea if she can turn some heads win, win. You mentioned legalities, is there a min...
Thanks for the feedback. The pitcher asked my daughter this weekend, but i should reach out to her dad to make sure that's what he wants too. They just meet at high school conditioning in October and hopefully they will be teammates this spring, so now would be a good time to build some chemistry.
My 13 year old DD was asked to catch a pitcher at a college prospect camp in January. The pitcher is obviously 3-4 years older and throws 59-61, which is about 5mph harder than her one teammate. She caught her once during fall conditioning and said how much her off speed moves. My...
