Why do so many parents think its top secret what team your kid is going to tryout for? And the Lies, don’t get me started on that! Had a parent tell me his/her kid was offered a spot on a team when they were not! parents get in the way of kids too much in sports. if your kid isn’t good enough for a certain team, you just simply find another. You don’t need to try to sabotage another kids tryout or discourage them from trying out. ( lesson learned , never trust a parent) If they don’t have competition they will never get better. they need to have the girl that is better than them, it drives them to get better. Get out of your kids way and let earn the spot they want!!!!!!

It's hard to see your kids fail and it's stressful. Some people feel the need to protect their kids from the truth. The kids are smart though and see what is going on. It's hard on the parents as well. As for information as you go on your softball journey you will figure out what is best for your family. What works for you doesn't work for the next family. You'll understand that everyone has an opinion. Treat it as such. Also (and this is probably the most important thing) watch what people DO and not what people SAY.
I just have a questions...what's with the his/her kid? There aren't any "his" playing fastpitch softball.

With all the teams out there in NorCal right now, I don't understand why parents are getting butt hurt about there children not making teams. Take off the daddy goggles, if your dd isn't making the plays, and 80% of the other girls trying out are, don't worry, thats where NSA comes in!!! NSA is a small step above rec ball, and serves a purpose. Judging by all the teams that are still looking for half a team, NSA will grow tremendously this year! I don't understand why NSA feels the need to split all it's Sundays into gold and silver brackets. Big whoop, you have 12 teams playing and you take first in the silver bracket. Guess what, you just finished 7th. I would like to see IFA grow in Cen Cal and do away with the everybody gets a trophy B.S.!!

you say you would like to see IFA grow? Why?
What is the difference? Most teams just want a place to play, and I promise you the girls could care less who it is (sanctioning body). Run a good tourney, whether it be IFA, NSA, ASA, or WWF makes little difference IMO.

Yeah, because shirts and certificates are soooo much better. As long as IFA in central California = RR, then poor customer service will be it's anchor.
