New Firecracker Teams

[nomoresoftball]

Yes it was I was the one who hacked me lol I decided to give my phone to my wife when I drink lol...

[Bleacher bug]

Let me help kill the rumors.

Mizuno Stone Will be one of the Firecrackers 99 teams

Grapes K. Will be moving over to become the Stockton 00 Firecrackers team

Ca Rapids. Willl be moving over to become the Sacramento 00 Firecrackers team

Nor Cal Firecrackers have done a pretty bad job of keeping this quite. Remember if you tell one person they are sure to tell 10.

Oh and by the way in case you were wondering why not Hype for the Sac 00 team???

Hype 00 to replace the ever so failing Breeze 00

Hopefully that helped put an end to the silly talk.

and what you end up with is:

Same team different name

Same team different name

Same team different name

Same team different name

Same team different name


and a larger monthly check heading south.

it does not change norcal softball one bit

Sorry to burst your bubble Bleacher Bug and others but Grapettes-Kahwaty are still with the Grapettes and will remain there. Maybe an asst. coach or girl will go, but the team remains where they are wearing purple. Good luck to whoever goes.

That is a solid 12u Grapette team with good coaching. At 12u , what would possibly be the benefit of leaving to join another "Organization?" Well I guess it would be cool to be sending money to your long lost cousin in socal every month.

Franchise fees in youth sports.... dman good business plan.

Its much easier and quicker to just change the name on the front of the jersey than it is to put together a top shelf NorCal club in each age group with top shelf coaching. In SoCal you can hand pic a coach or club that is a top 10 ten outside the cracker org and bring them in and run with it, in NorCal its a hole different ball game. You have three or four top clubs in each age group (who are not moving anywhere), then all the rest are mush. Do I think this is the way to go, not up here as I do agree with ILB for once, you have done absolutely nothing to improve the quality of play or better yet the Firecracker ORG, all TR has done is fatten his back pocket some more, you the man TR.

I would like to know where people get there info. The one asst.coach that might go to the firecrackers is probably the same coach that was a smash coach, that could not field a team with the smash .I was told that most of the grapes K Team are staying grapes. It just to bad that people start rumors to try to draw players.

9 out of 10 times when people's lips are moving in TB no matter if its team movement, player movement, college scholarships, coach movement, its all b.s., so be careful who you listen to

Hi Coach, my name is Susie, Im '99 57 mph Pitcher. I wear #99 for the "Hometown Heroes", im playing in a pgf regional qualifier in Salinas on Jun XX, would really like you to come see me play. Hope to see you there.

Hi Coach, my name is Sheila, I'm a pitcher for the Nor Cal Firecrackers and im playing in a pgf national qualifier in Huntington Beach on Jun XX, would really like you to come see me play. hope to see you there.

Hi Susie, sorry I can't make it, I will be in Huntington beach that weekend. Sorry.

Hi Sheila, Thanks for the note, I will plan on being there that weekend, I look forward to seeing you. Thanks for the invite.

Get it yet? On a PERSONAL LEVEL this has nothing to do with fielding good teams, this has everything to do with getting exposure for your DD. Either you grasp that thinking and go grab it, or you will bash that thinking and stick to your shiny new org uniforms, hope you like em.

On a NOR CAL LEVEL...hope they get good coaching so they can fit in with breeze, rr, team cali, aasa and grapettes (yes the list stops there)

Hey, Kool Aid - even a broken clock is right twice a day! That being said, I have to agree that the rumors going around (on the Bucket and at the fields this last weekend) are all over the board. I do find it interesting that the two '00 teams being talked about the most are the two that met in the 12u Gold championship game in Antelope Monday night. Begs the question - did the FCs pick the two best teams in situations where they can change orgs, or are a bunch of Haters trying to make life hard on a pair of the lead dogs?
