Softball

An end loaded bat is a bat that has a weight at the end. The weighted end helps give power to your swing.

It could be signs that the coach is giving the batter or as a form of cheering or encouragement

Umm practice....

i did your mom last night

It simple has to be in fair territory there is no distance it has to travel.

forge a note from a parent

9 people on the field.........but unlimited all together

It is 60 feet from home to first on a softball field. It is the same distance between all the bases. The pitcher's mound is 43 away in college softball. The depth of the outfield varies from field to field.

after three people on the bating team are out

Where you stand at to hit, is called home plate.

The first base you run to is called 1st base.

The next base is 2nd base.

And the one after that is 3rd.

Often times in a tournament, pool play is a set number of games before you get to "elimination play." Each team is guaranteed the same number of pool play games. For many tournaments your performance/record in pool play determines where you get bracketed for elimination play. Sometimes pool play has different time limit rules than bracket play. As a coach, it is certainly something you need to be aware of.

In the movie A League Of Their Own, Dotty was the catcher that the movie focused on. She was an amazing athlete and played baseball. I have met the "real" Dotty, the actual person that the character in the movie was based on and she is an amazing woman. She is very old now, if she is still alive, but she is still lively and wants to be a part of youth sports today and my grandma.

you learn how to work as a team along with how to react to different situations that may occur during a game

There is no such thing as a 31 length 21 oz. -8 softball bat. The -8 stands for the difference in the length and weight of the bat. Meaning..31 minus 21 will never equal 8

When you do your wind up, some times you will tend to Lean. When you do, it causes you to release the ball at a different spot, even if you still release from your hip. Because when you lean it also causes your release point (your hip) to move. This is why coaches say the term " Stay Tall" when your pitching.

the max specs blow hard

yes. it is where the ball is, not where the fielder is.

its called t-ball instead of having a pitcher you hit off of a little stick with a whole on the top so the ball stays.

Either. It depends on the situation. The player covering 2nd is usually determined by who is at bat, the runners on base, and, primarily, the team manager. The second baseman and the shortstop usually will signal each other before each pitch, who will be responsible for covering 2nd. This is done by whichever infielder has been designated to give the signal to the other, and is done by covering the mouth with the glove, looking at the other infielder and either opening the mouth, or closing it. An open mouth means the other player is covering, a closed mouth means the signaling player is covering. Open mouth mean you (the other player), closed mouth mean me (the signaling player).

Depends on the age group and where you live.

Here is an example of how far it could be depending on age group"

10 and under: 35 feet

Over 10 through High School: 40 feet (Some States are moving High School to 43 feet)

College: 43 feet

Yes

Arizona

If you are having a bronchitis flair up it is probably not a good idea to exert yourself on the field. Wait a few days and allow yourself to get better.

In softball pitching the pitcher is only allowed one big step because the rule states that prior to the pitch both feet should be on the pitcher's plate and during the pitch one foot should be on the plate before ball is released.
