Thousands of softball teams will be playing in World Series events around the United States. Typically, these events combine the beauty of a destination with the greatest game on Earth. Having done the World Series for many years now, with several different teams and several different organizations, we can tell you that planning ahead of time makes the event much, much easier. And while you may not be planning to attend your World Series until JULY - you MUST start planning now! Seriously...do NOT wait until the middle of June to try to get gift bags and trading pins and reservations … [Read more...]
The Chicken Bat | Safety First Sports/Demarini Bat Review
We have never done a bat review before. Not sure why considering we have a ton of girls using a ton of different bats, and it is always one of our most ASKED fan questions. Everyone wants to know - what is the best bat out there? Which bat has the most pop? Which bat will help my daughter reach the fences, and hit dingers? The reality is that all of the bats out there today are pretty dang good. The front runners in the bat market are still Lousiville Slugger and Demarini. (Now both owned by Wilson Sports) and of course Easton. Raising 4 softball players, we have utilized all of … [Read more...]
Flabby Arms & Cellulite
Overheard at the ballfield last weekend by a cute little ponytail wielding 10 year old girl softball player. "Hey Mama, you should get this tank top, its such a pretty color and it would look good on you and you could wear it to our softball games!" The mom agreed it was cute, checked the size, slipped it on over her shirt and then affirmatively said, "Oh no - I cannot wear this, it will show my flabby arms and cellulite!" She did finally settle on a shirt she liked, that was 2 sizes too big and in her words, 'would hide everything!' I can relate. Maybe you can too. I spent years … [Read more...]
What are YOU doing to MAKE a Difference? | Kris Massaro for Softball is For Girls
This is a legitimate question. I regularly hear girls talking about their softball future, or what makes them feel they will get a scholarship from their dream school. I’m not here to burst anyone’s bubble. I’m here to remind you that you need to do more than you're doing now. Here’s why- If you think that you are the only girl that has a hitting coach, or a trainer, the only girl that takes BP with your dad a few times a week or goes to clinics and camps, you are sorely mistaken. In fact, I think it's safe to say you are one of tens of thousands of girls that does that. Don't … [Read more...]
Dear SIFG | My Player is injured….
Softball is a rough sport. It's hard on the body, and as more and more of us are finding ourselves playing year round - there are no doubt a ton of injuries going around. Our daughter, a pitcher - who was at peak performance suffered an untimely sport ending arm injury the spring before her senior year in high school, AFTER receiving several offers from colleges, that left her unable to pitch. Or at least pitch well. She pushed herself through it, completely determined and head strong and obviously so disappointed that after years of hard work, THIS was the time she would get hurt, and … [Read more...]
Softball is For Girls **PRESS RELEASE** –
Things are changing. And things are changing fast. And we have to admit that more than a time or two, we have thought about closing down Softball is For Girls because it is not easy dealing with so many peeps online. Whether you know it or not, we put our heart and souls into this business - this sport - and we agonize over every post, blog post, and sale we make. In 2011, we started Softball is For Girls as a place for softball families to come together. We were knee deep with twins of our own graduating Rec ball for travel ball, and disgusted with the unevenness of communities for girls … [Read more...]

Five Must Do Exercises for PITCHERS!
For the past 20 years I have owned some type of weight training facility. It wasn’t until I moved back to California that I started training softball players without the luxury of an massive weight room and power lifting equipment. It caused me to really start training outside of the box for my players. A lot of coaches and strength and conditioning coaches really have an addiction to power lifting and heavy lifting. Don’t get me wrong, some of the lifts involved in that type of training are extremely beneficial for players, but they are not the end all be all of player development. I … [Read more...]
