    Slapping Rules (College vs Travel / High School)

    Same pitch to a non slapper is usually a ball. Very irritating! been going on for years. I think we need more women umpires. Maybe those who have actually played the game of fastpitch rather than baseball or, ugh, football. I think slapping is still not accepted by some of these people. Think...

    "Ha! Free time?? You gave that up when you signed up for a college sport. Trade off." quote from my daughter who played 4 years of NCAA softball.

    Moving up to 10u a little early.

    moving up is a RISK you must be willing to take.

    First week of college practice

    Realize these coaches are depending on 18-22 year olds for their livelihood. The coaches also have family and kids depending on these young ladies. Coaches need to win often in order to keep their job in many cases. High school coaches rarely get fired. They change jobs but rarely fired. Plus...

    First week of college practice

    Its fall. Things will get some better later. They have to weed out the not so serious. Usually the roster dwindles some come spring.

    Posing the question about the purpose of playing college softball….

    Escaping the atmosphere/culture only to find different problems at the new program. Make the best of what you have. Make it work and learn from the process. Get the education and the degree.

    Dealing with high school coaches.

    If your daughter and you want to be a part of the softball program at this school then I suggest you learn to play the horrid political game that comes with high school softball. Whether at varsity or jv just do your best to improve and support the program. Learn to pretend to support the...

    Just when I thought it couldn't get stupider...

    Definitely, the younger the age the crazier the parents.

    Barely Any At Bats

    At that age she needs to be on the field and in the batting order almost all the time. She needs to be on a team that competes but has lots of fun doing it. She needs all the at bats possible. At her age it is not important to be on a highly competitive team that is all about winning and that...

    Help with lazy habits!

    Do not try to force her at this age. Do all you can to make the game a lot of fun for her no matter how much she improves over the short term. Having fun at a young age is more important to her future in the game than anything. All this is even more important if she has an abundance of...

    How do you handle an umpire who disregards certain rules?

    Coach may need to consider asking the home plate umpire for an appeal to the umpire in chief or the tournament director.
