www.pony.org has softball rules that are used in Pony leagues.  I am sure that little league softball has a website somewhere too, I just don't know it!

Take them to a college softball game...one its free, and the ladies are very approachable, and they can give advice and maybe some pointers on the fundamentals of softball.

This is exactly what's wrong with sports and parenting today.  First off, you cannot force the coach to play your daughter.  He's the coach, and if he's not playing her, then I'm sure he has his reason.  Please, don't even consider a lawsuit. That's just wrong. Just what we need, more frivolous lawsuits.\nSecond, and more importantly, parents need to be teaching personal responsibility to their children.  If your daughter wants to play, she needs to work hard in practice. She needs to show that she is listening to her coach, and doing the things she is being asked to do, and biting her tongue.  If she is as good as you say she is, she will be playing in no time.\n\nI really don't get this sense of entitlement that abounds today.

She has to understand that each girl on the time deserves to be treated fairly and singling out one or two indiviuals isnt fair to the rest.  Your husband can offer her to take his place, and he will be the complaining parent.  If coaching was so easy, they would have lines of parents waiting to do it, but that doesnt happen. every league always looks for coaches.

Could it be that maybe the coach is giving your daughter and the rest of the team each a trophy as if to say "Thank You"... Or to express something like "We may have lost the playoffs, but you're all winners to me and you all deserve a trophy!"  For a coach to go out of his way to do that, he obviously thought quite well of your daughters team, thus the trophies... HIS winners.\n\nI could understand you as parent catching heck for it... I would've told you off as well, for putting a damper on the spirits of these girls...  Sure they may have ranked last place...  But the coach saw them all as champion players...  Ever heard of an MVP award?  That's pretty much what the coach AWARDED them ALL with.\n\nYou know, with the fact that you had a problem with this, it makes me wonder...  When the league was over, did you approach your daughter and say "CONGRATULATIONS!!!  You're a bunch of losers!!!", or did you say something like "You're always a winner to me."?  Hmmm???\n\nUnless the coach is abusive to your daughter, I'd say mind your own business and get over it... It's not like he caused any problem, as you have for objecting to his good nature... What you could've said instead was "You got a trophy???  Aww!  That's so nice of the coach!"

Get involved in a summer league and/or camps. Go to all open gyms the coach holds!!! They want to see dedication! Run. Lift weights.

Food. Offer breakfast or something to have students meet their mentor over breakfast. Then have them pair up and do a scavenger hunt around the school (the first team to find all of the locations wins something). Make it a competetion and offer food...that always seems to get my students into it.

ok just calm down and be yourself...If you are yourself, then you will do fine, but if you think about every little thing that can mess you up, then you will mess up, but if you think positive and be yourself, then you will do great!!! Do what you know then your fine....\n\nTips:\n*Encourage other girls on the team\n*Encourage everyone when you guys are playing a game\n*Do NOT ask the coach constantly about other peoples scores, or your score, wait for the results

trust me if they were smart they would wear a cup in football.  In middle school our coach would walk up and hit us with his clip board to make sure we were wearing a cup.  If they arent in your schools they should make sure the kids do.  (probably not how our coaches did it though)

A good way to get younger kids to do things is to show them by example. Take them to a college softball game or a good high school game. Tell them to watch the hitters. They will start to mimic the players. Also a good drill to do is to hit volleyballs or basketballs. This forces them to power through the ball. Then when they hit the softball it seems easy. It helps if you deflate the balls a little bit.

as a guy we listen to girls cause we think its what you want. Also if you want him to talk learn a little something about a sport that happened recently and talk about that.
