The True Spirit of a Softball Christmas | Softball Is For Girls
The True Gift of The Holidays! Softball is for Girls has been working hard online, to empower and support the families of fastpitch for over 9 years. It is TIME consuming, and our dedication and reason to continue is because we are not only passionate about the SPORT, but about female athletes. We began selling products to offset the many costs of running an online business. And in years past, we have always given away around 100 shirts to girls whose families may not be able to afford extra softball goodies. Unfortunately, with the rising GREED of Facebook, we are not in a position to … [Read more...]

Pitcher Problems | Softball Is For Girls
Good LORT, we love to watch a good pitcher pitch. It's such an emotional, and mentally draining, and physically demanding and amazingly difficult task to stand out there in the middle of the whole entire softball field, with all eyes on you, (half hoping you do well and the other half hoping you mess up) that it's impossible NOT to be impressed by these kids who love, live and breath pitching. Once upon a time, we had daughters that pitched (they aged out sadly). And being a pitcher parent is a pretty tough gig in and of itself. We designed this shirt for her, because we thought it was … [Read more...]

Anything invented to stain expensive jerseys, and not come off with soap and water (or bleach and AJAX and pressure washing) that darkens pores and makes it look like you beat your daughter for days after the games, has to be the product of the devil. The moment a softball mom sees it, or hears the early morning tournament day suggestion of "hey let's put some EYEBLACK on," while one bad influence of a player with braided pigtails, pulls a fresh batch from her bat bag while her inexperienced mom stands by with pride because her … [Read more...]
An Open Letter to The Girls Who Have a Softball Mom | Softball is For Girls
October is Breast Cancer awareness month. But I can say for sure, that for me, and for my family - every month is breast cancer awareness month. Today, I want to write an open letter to all the girls out there who have a softball mom, because I lost mine 3 years ago to breast cancer that had metastasized to her brain. My mom was your typical mom. She nagged me about dirty clothes on the floor, used to fuss when I took my cleats off in the car, and was always the one making sure that my white pants came clean enough, that I had an extra pair of socks in case of a blow out, and who was able … [Read more...]
