TB -- Tournament softball

I would like to offer a meaningful clarification/correction to this one:
TB -- Travel Ball (where you have to leave - therefore "travel" - away from the cozy confines of your little rec-ball neighborhood to get some better competition) Now I understand that to you big-metropolis people this could mean your other collar-suburbs and it's not as much "travel", but of course in these big congested areas it might take 4 hours to get 30 miles
TMA (Too many abbreviations).
One forum I used to post on even had a thread to explain the different abbreviations.
Here are a few more:
HS High school
D I or D 1 -- NCAA Division I. Similarly, D II, D2 D III, D3 and other permutations refer to other NCAA divisions.
NCAA -- Means NCAA.
HC -- Head Coach
AC -- Assistant Coach
PC -- Pitching Coach
TB -- Tournament softball
SB -- could be softball or stolen base. Check the context.
IF -- infield
OF -- outfield
SS -- I don't give a darn.
10u or 10U, 12U, 14U, 16U, 18U -- age groups.
So, here is an example: (not a real situation, so don't give advice)
DD says her 16U TB HC and AC both want HE while her PC teaches her IR. Her HS HC is completely useless, and won't even let her pitch! Sticks her in OF, but she is better at SS or 3B, and might even dump her down in JV. She really seems SOL! LOL! YOLO!
