Thanks to Valley for hanging in there with players missing.

Dick's Sporting Goods has them. They are located in the Baseball/Softball section. They are generally in the package with the black side out so you will have to look carefully and read the package. They are Mizuno and I believe 12.99. FF

MD must have been Total Chaos. Too bad WT 10U did not go to NSA regional. Without a doubt they were one of top teams anywhere close to here, north, south east, west. FF

MD I believe the teal/orange/white team was WV Explosion. TNT Explosion(red/black/white) is an excellent organization as well. Well coached and a remarkable group of young ladies. 10U,12U,14U. Didn't the 10U win the Eastern Region NSA?

I hear many coaches, parents, players etc. talking about the need to find a "good" coach to lead a team. What is a "good" coach? Is it measured by whether he/she has a winning record? How about whether he/she connects with the girls? Let's get some feedback here on your thoughts ...

At the junior league level and above a player can do both ASA and LL simultaneously. I wonder what LL officals are thinking in not applying this to all ages.

I do not think this would work with an ASA/NSA sanctioned tourney as the rules regarding rosters and the fact that they are on a computer database would make this impossible. The only thing you could do would be a non-sanctioned tourney, or maybe USSSA, or Pony or something like that.
