    People always post negative experiences with coaches, let me post a positive.

    This weekend at a tournament in Brandon Mississippi my daughter’s coaches showed me how coaching should be done. Let me set the stage so it will all make sense. We are a 10u Team from Monroe La, we started last year in 8u and struggled quite a bit. Lost a few kids to trophy hunters and teams...

    Let them play...they are so resilient!

    My daughter just finished reading Little League Softball Champs by Joe Jackson and she absolutely loved it. You want to know why? Because it covered the emotional drama 10 - 13 year old girls face during a fastpitch season with their parents and coaches brilliantly. The book was spot on. In...
