    College Roster Sizes, sorry some of you don't get to go with us~

    DD's school's baseball team looked like first day of spring training warming up out beyond the softball field. Players everywhere.

    Cf8 vs 2020 CF

    Daughter has been swinging Demarini CFs for 10 years. Drop 10 for the last 8 years. Can't go wrong, unless there are too many swings on it. You can definitely tell when it's dead.

    The Spring Games '24

    I remember going to the local TeenTown as an 8th grader back in the 80s. The big excitement was when there was a VJ instead of a DJ. This video would always bring everyone running up to the screen to watch. :cool:

    Thanks Lobster! Decent quality though? No technical issues?

    The Spring Games '24

    Has anyone viewed any of the games so far through FloSoftball? Just curious as to the quality.

    Practice swings hitting the players in their back - Why?

    Or Premier...I mean National.

    College websites team stuff

    Depends on the schools SID(Sports Information Director). If the SID assigned to women's softball has other sports to cover, especially higher profile one's like basketball, etc...softball will usually suffer. I also think if the Head or Assistants can form a good relationship with the SID...

    Questions to ask and/or things to know when joining a large "national" team

    Since you are not local, I would look at the roster and see where the majority of the players are from. If their roster is local or relatively local, the coach will schedule practices as such. He may tell you it's ok to "make whatever practices you can make and we understand if you can't", but...

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    You have to keep your legacy pitcher parents happy with some pool play innings. Pool play is where you keep your bench player parents happy. But, I also remember as a coach telling myself that and then finding myself in the situation you describe. Tough to say "I'm not going to play my best...

    I need a "bracket" pitcher? What exactly does that mean?

    "We will ride your pitcher like a rented mule."

    USA Softball All American tryouts?

    It was run in a typical travel team tryout format.

    The coaches daughter

    I would add that if the coach's daughter is not by far the best player on the team, 99 times out of 100, you should look for another team.

    USA Softball All American tryouts?

    My DD participated in the very first one...and it was AND STILL IS one of her best softball experiences. I think tryouts will vary by region and coaches, but if you have the opportunity to go to OKC....TAKE IT! Good luck.

    College and majors to stay away from??

    Find your schools by her major, then explore softball. There are plenty of success stories of athletes who got into nursing or engineering. John T is right, there is no way to make a decent living playing softball after college, so don't sacrifice an academic career choice for softball.

    Replacement Demarini CF Handle Tape

    My DD always uses LizardSkins on her Demarini's. Surprised it hasn't worked for yours. We have received skins in the past that are old and dried out and don't work well. We just return and replace and never have a problem.

    EXPERIENCE

    Experience is relative to the ability of the coach or player. If you are a crappy coach or player, experience doesn't make you better, it just makes you an experienced crappy coach or player.

    Slap Hitters

    This is another aspect of being a threat as a slapper that doesn't get worked or called. Staying in the box. I might even venture based on my experience, many slappers are almost always out of the box when they contact the ball. I could just never get the home plate umpire to call it. That's...
