    U.S.A./USSSA age chart changes

    School cutoff dates vary from state to state, and sometimes district to district. Those dates don't necessarily align with either age chart either.

    Ideas and tips for tournament weekend energy food

    Curious is anyone has any good tips for a good, healthy, energy eating plan for tournament weekends, starting with the drive to, in between games and any longer breaks? I think healthy food options for athletes are often overlooked, and a lot of the options in and around venues are fast...

    Who catches pitching lessons?

    I look at lesson day as leg day for me... Makes sense I catch so instructor can look and fix, I feel it makes a huge difference. I'd bring their catchers, but they all live in the opposite direction of where we go. So I get 2 hours once a week right now. Never got used to sitting on...

    Bucket catcher - Mizuno MVP Prime 34 inch baseball catcher's mitt - a valid not break the bank option

    I had been at the point of needing to get a catcher's mitt for catching my 2 pitchers. I did not want to spend a lot, as funds seem to go more toward them these days (I seem to remember getting one used bat every few years, somehow they carry 3...). My search criterion - enough room for a...

    Developing Fastpitch Pitchers: The Speed v Accuracy Debate

    I've always been of the mindset of mechanics first. If you don't build from good mechanics, you won't have velocity or accuracy.

    USSSA approved drying agent

    DD pitcher moved teams and now plays in more USSSA tournaments than USA softball tournaments. USA Softball maintains current lists of approved drying agents: https://www.usasoftball.com/certified-equipment/ Does USSSA have anything similar besides lists of bat and ball manufactures...

    WIN Reality, GameSense, or other

    Curious if anyone has any updated reviews on these? I am thinking of trying something for my girls to use during the winter months and help them mostly with timing and pitch recognition (one started swinging at pitches way out of the zone, one stopped swinging all together).

    12u Pitching consistency

    It is a crazy sport within a sport. I can tell when mine aren't thinking too much out there, best games they have.

    Wilson Glove Bonanza

    Interesting timing. In the market for a new glove for a second year 12u player. Primary pitcher, middle infield, dabbles in OF. How would one of these A2000's compare to a custom Gloveworks? Timing would be to have it ready for spring, so some end of fall practices, winter trainings, and...

    Offer expectations

    DD tried out for a few teams. Got offers for all. Unfortunately most organizations reached back out a few days after the offer stating there is not enough interest and they will not be fielding a team. So down to a couple, with not much time. One team has been around for a while. Huge...

    Younger kids and higher level of competition

    Most teams are paid coaches. One club has a different structure, with paid coaches running each practice/workout (small coaching staff split among 7 different teams). They train 2 parent coaches to coach the weekend tournaments and execute the game plan. Apparently they have had success...

    Younger kids and higher level of competition

    We are having first thoughts of getting away from the town rec/travel scene and having 10u & 12u start looking at playing at a little more competitive level. They've gone to a few tryouts, and get offers from teams usually the evening after the tryout, or first day after a team has a batch of...

    Hi from NJ

    Hi - new member here. 2 daughters playing at the 10U and 12U level. And both are pitchers. I've been lurking on this forum for a while, when I needed to try and find an answer to something. Looking forward to future discussions.
