Have they announced a venue yet?

Wow. Really nice guys. These girls practice hard and play hard. The coaching makes a difference. Snide comments about these girls are not called for in my opinion. They were outplayed and Barbers Hill did a great job.

Just curious if anyone knows the conditions of the fields out at the Park. Last I heard they were pushing back an hour. Seems it will be more than that at this point.

#1 Recruiting knowledge!

#2 Team Leaders that are not players parents.

1) We moved to a Houston team specifically for recruiting. We were overwhelmed by the lack of information we have in this area as far as the recruiting process goes. (Or that was ever shared with us by any of our teams.) We have the talent to have many very competitive teams, but to be honest these college coaches are not looking at win/ loss records. They are summing up your childs talent, work ethic, academic scores, team spirit and attitude. Your child has to be willing to put the time and effort into contacting the coaches. Coaches from all divisions too. Sending resume's, giving tournament information and game times and follow up emails are extremly important parts of the process. The softball camps are the best chance of college coaches seeing your girls and getting to know them. Not just tournaments. 

2) It is my opinion that the girls are much happier when they do not have to worry about  parent/player issues. A coaching team that is there because they see talent and something special in each of their girls is amazing. The payoff is getting the players recruited to play college ball.

So if you have a group of coaches willing to really invest time in the recuiting process, and not just on the field, I know you could build good area teams.

Congrats!  Where does Hit Away practice out of?...just curious.

We are split into three groups, since we are so far apart, Huntsville, Beaumont & Houston.

Fundraisers...or any that I have to participate in anyway

Hope I've sold my last brisket, and I don't even like washing my own darn truck

LOL!! I love it. I'm done with fund raisers.... until the next one  I guess.
