    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Well I guess we're staying in our current league instead of switching. I think my wife and I lost sight of what we put our daughter in softball for. We wanted to switch leagues so that she improves as a player, but we took a step back and asked what she wanted to do. She said she wants to...

    How to adjust to a trench?

    Yeah I figured there was nothing really to be done aside from telling our girls to adjust. I was just wondering if there was a good way to tell them how to. I'm assuming a righty should adjust a bit to the left since their stride foot is left?

    How to adjust to a trench?

    Hello everyone, as our pitchers go in the circle and do their thing, a trench is made in front of the rubber. Most of the pitchers on the other teams are a bit taller so they seem not to be affected by it since they can easily stride to the front of it. Our pitchers are on the shorter end so...

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Thanks everyone, we'll keep her in at her age group.

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Thanks, we're probably just concerned about her size more than anything. Hopefully she grows a bit over the summer :)

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Thanks, yeah she sticks out like a sore thumb on her team in a good way. She basically carries the team even though there's a pitcher better than her. We're just a bit worried about her size, given that she's tiny (but mighty).

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Thanks for your input. This is what I'm leaning towards also. One of her besties from the same league is also going to move over and she'll move up to 10u with her, but given how many kids there are, they probably won't end up on the same team. Still I think them playing each other will still...

    Possibly playing daughter down?

    Hello everyone, Our 8u daughter is at the literal cutoff 8/31 for USA softball age, so she'll always be the youngest player not only in her class, but softball as well in the first year she moves up in any age group. I know some leagues allow players to play down. Right on her 9th birthday...

    8u Pitch signs...OOPS

    8u Pitch signs...OOPS

    We had a game last night and when my daughter was put in the 2nd inning I kept encouraging her with two thumbs up every time she looked towards the dugout. I've been giving her situations where she's either up, down, etc in the count while I'm on the bucket and ask her what she thinks she...

    POLL~ on this pitchers reaction

    She's the real slim shady.

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    She's the best player on the team, she can play anywhere.

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    Yup, that's what we've been doing. When the games start counting, I'd like to be fair as well as pragmatic about the pitching line up.

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    Yeah that's what our manager is leaning towards for our next game.
  17. PerpetualBeginner

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    Yup rec, we have the girls that want to pitch in the rotation already, but we'd also like to win against the other teams when the games start counting. We either tie or lose by a couple of runs. The other teams put their best pitches in max innings allowed, we just do 1 inning per pitcher.

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    I'll run that by our manager, he might go for it.

    What to do about pitching line up? (8u rec)

    Hi everyone, I'm not sure what do do about our pitching lineup....right now the games don't count for anything (aside from stat keeping) so we're just letting the girls who are taking lessons pitch games. We have one pitcher that can actually strike girls out, while the others might throw...

    HS Softball Started

    With these types of players, do you try to make it known that the HS coach is the one they should be listening to or do you just pass on these types of players immediately?
