The Nice LIST – SIFG Helping JDRF

Softball Parents & Anger
Spend enough Saturdays at the ballpark, and you are sure to experience the raw gamut of emotions that come from watching your children play ball. Between the parents on the sidelines, the coaches, the officials, the girls in the dugouts, spectators and moms chasing their sticky toddlers around, the ball-field offers a full-sized smorgasbord of human…

Softball Break-Ups
Breaking up is hard to do. It is. Especially in girls fastpitch softball. Often times, when one player – or one team decides to move on for whatever reason, the wounds in the background are being metaphorically licked by the young girls left behind. Say what you want about ‘letting your daughter decide,” or “letting…

Easy Ways to Drive Your Fastpitch Softball Coach CRAZY!
Those fastpitch softball coaches! They think they know everything. By the way they stand there and hit you ground balls, make you run – and critique your performance at the plate while a pitcher is hurling a HARD ball your way – you’d almost think they think they can play the game of fastpitch softball…

Fastpitch Softball! Reasons Why We Lost.
It’s Sunday, and for many of you that means you are trying to get through the day with what we refer to as the ‘softball hangover.’ Lost voices from cheering, sore legs from running, and exhaustion from what was hopefully a long and successful day at the park. Some of you may have come home with…

Breaking the Hitters Slump Mentally
We’ve all been there. You’re having a fantastic season and then suddenly you come to a tournament and suddenly can’t hit water if you fell straight out of a boat. Next tournament, same thing happens. At practice, you start struggling hitting a ball off the tee. And so the hitters slump waterfalls. The good news about…

Character in Fastpitch Softball
As parents, fans, players and coaches of fast-pitch – the reality is that we are often faced (and hear about) the negative side of the game. Softball is a passionate game, and as human beings, we can suffice it to say that it doesn’t always bring out the best in everyone. Here at Softball is…
