To My Daughter Who Did NOT make “THE” team! | Softball is For Girls
Dearest Daughter...So you did not make the team; I watched you meticulously pick out matching softball outfits to wear for the tryouts. We bought new cleats and practiced for weeks and weeks ahead of time. Ground balls, and hitting, and fielding and pop flies galore. You have grown so much in your softball ability over the past year, I like you - was filled with the hopefulness that this time you would see your hard work pay off. After tryouts, we talked about what you felt you did right, and what you felt you did wrong. You had a bad spell where your head got in the way, but you were … [Read more...]
Funny Things Softball Players Say | Softball Is For Girls
Softball Players say Funny things. Today, we share some of our favorites. We recently had a Facebook post looking for the funny things softball players say. After reading through the over 200 comments, with a couple of nose snort laughs, we realized that to offset some of the stress of being an athletic parent, we needed to share. ENJOY! Player steals second, forces an overthrow and takes third. Coach: Why Did you steal? I didn’t even give you a sign. Player: (first baseman) there was a spider on first. You should probably sit me next inning or go kill it. My all time favorite. … [Read more...]
Garbage In, Garbage Out – Game Day Nutrition.
The Greater Than Sports Drink Advantage! Let's face it. Concessions stands don't typically offer healthy options for our kiddos (or us) during the day, and unfortunately, a lot of athletes are loading up on sugary snacks and sodas between games to stay hydrated and energized. When it comes to food and drinks convenience often trumps nutrition. But we believe that what you put INTO your kids, is what you will get out of them performance-wise. How many of you have experienced the game day break blues, where your team gets a long break, (usually as a higher seed) only for them to … [Read more...]

Review Your Softball Season! It might not be as bad as you think! Tis' the season!

To The Coach Who Made Me Hate Softball | Softball is for Girls
Today, an open letter from a player to the coach who made her hate softball! Dear Coach; It has been a couple of years since I walked off your field for the last time. And sadly, it was the last time I ever played softball. And I have you to thank for that. Despite being blessed with an encouraging family, and people who supported me and my dreams of playing softball - the most lasting effect was left by you. Your words hurt. Your words wounded. Your actions caused softball to be such a stressful part of my life, that I felt it was best to just hang up my cleats and walk away. … [Read more...]

An Open Letter to the Softball Snobs | Softball Is For Girls
Oh, we know who you are. You are the moms and dads who feel superior because your 10-year-old is playing on some fancy schmancy organization team where you are shelling out big bucks to make sure she is up against the best competition for her age group. There's lots of money, and lots of travel and lots of pressure being put on her - being replaced is usually in the back of her mind because many of these organizations are always looking for the next best thing. And you snub, or thumb your nose at the rest of us, the masses playing local lower level tournaments that won't equate to making … [Read more...]
