Yup, the grounds crew at Lake Catherine Park in Palm Beach Gardens do an amazing job!

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork yes I can tell!

Yessss

It is not just you and awesome comments

Btw cameras tend to flatten the irregularities in the terrain. You can try that by making a video of your commute to work. Roads will appear much smoother and cleaner in video than they actually are.

Yup, Definitely favored the pitcher on some of the calls.

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork and if he didn't call a wide plate the game would take 7 hours to play. swing the bat ladies, swing the bat, put the ball into play.

@@BigSkyCurmudgeon I do like an umpire that wants aggressive bats at the plate.

@@Therian444 I’m 11 and I play softball in fact I have a game Saturday and iv had to deal with a lot of bad umps

@@sienna.coleman I removed Fred’s comment. It was rude. Not having that on our channel. Stay softball strong. 🥎💪👍🏻

Thank you for the kind comments Alexa. That catcher on the green team is my daughter Hailey. She works hard at her game both on and off the field. Happy to read your comment that it shows. Thank you again. = )

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork of course. I’m a catcher and i still couldn’t do that until 14U. Whatever you’re doing with her is definitely working, and she’ll make an even greater catcher when she’s older if she continues like this.

Pitching in Fastpitch Softball is definitely a skill built through correction and repetition. Keeping hips open, snapping the wrist, learning your release point, keeping cool under pressure, etc. Keep working hard and I'm sure you'll be racking up those Ks on those batters you face!

That’s sweet of you to say. Thank you!

good job 👌 I can do it on Monday morning.

A nice line drive. Shortstop almost snagged it. Solid hit though.

I’m just in a softball game right now

Yup, you win some calls and lose some calls.

And they love doing that thang! 😊🥎

Thank you for the kind comment Mikan. I will let the catcher know the nice things you wrote. Sorry for your tough season, but keep playing and practicing so things will surely turn around.

It is fun to watch as they work on getting better every season! My daughter just moved up to 12u this season. Looking forward to seeing the game at this new level.

i Love 💕 it

You're funny. = )

ikr. so great at calling strikes and balls.

Thanks John! Girls on both teams played hard, many playing softball for their first season ever. Appreciate the positive comment. 👍🏻😃

Hi Megan, thanks for the kind comments. That's Hailey catching for the green team. She now plays 12u for the Jupiter Lightning as one of their two catchers. Her player # is 7. She loves that tough catcher position that you also play! Such an important position as a leader of the team on the field and the #1 supporter of your pitcher. Much respect to all Catchers!

I also play as catcher

Crazy big strike zone....a true pitchers' umpire.

Some of the girls that batted leftie are actual right handed on the field. They are working to increase their value as softball players by learning how to slap left handed! You being a natural leftie already puts you in that position, so have fun Camryn and keep playing ball. =)

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork Wow! That’s impressive that those girls can do that!

Not sure I really understand all that you wrote, but I can agree that both Disneyland and Softball are really fun! 👍🏻😁

That's great that you're coaching! Keep in mind that this particular game is a rec game and the rules differ from that of travel teams participating in USSSA, USFA, etc. Check out the other softball games on the channel to see travel team game play which allows stealing of all bases, including home plate, for example.

My daughter is 8u going into to 10u next year our city can’t find coach’s to save there lives so I plan to or my my wife as I have a 4 and 5 year old boys who will be 5 and 6 next years rec season plan on them being in 6u may coach that starting out lol ..they have watched their sister and shown interest well my 4 yr old has he always wants to play catch when when we are practicing lol 😂 but I’ve been watching so many games taking notes what should I work on first.

@@towman2545 thats how i started playing as a kid! I saw my dad and brothers outside playing catch so I wanted to join, so we went and got me my first glove. My dad has been my coach for as long as I’ve been playing, I was about 4 then and I’m 17 now. It is more likely that the league can’t find coaches, and if its anything like my league they will take anyone with some knowledge about the game and with a good background check, so sign up to coach yourself, maybe get some of the other parents to sign up. It’s not about a lack of coaches its a lack of volunteers.

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork its a rec all-stars team. we are currently at states for babe-ruth so i guess its going alright! we lost our first game but we play again tonight at 9:45pm which is very late for our youngest player being 7. but we are making it work.

@@megandoingmeganthings7976 wow, that’s super late for a game…especially since earlier games throughout the day tend to run late. Maybe you’ll get lucky and they will bump the game to the next morning. Either way, just have fun playing…it is a game after all. People sometimes lose perspective that it’s just a game…no different than playing Monopoly, Shoots & Ladders or Heads Up! It’s just supposed to be fun. Good luck tonight and have a blast! 😁🥎💪

You are absolutely right. The umpires got that obstruction call correct. 👍🏻

yeah i learned that the hard way.

That’s awesome that you want to get out there and play too! If you want to watch more games there are plenty on the channel! Please subscribe and like to stay up on all the action. New games coming up in a couple weeks once the new season begins. Thanks again for the kind comment.

Thank you for the kind comment Frank. 🥎💪

I think it was because it was a Rec league and many of the girls were new to the sport. They had a lot of strange rules. Check out any of the other games on the channel and they’ll be what you’re used to. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Im not quite sure of the reason why you would need 4 outfielder but I've done it before and there is a left fielder, left center, center, right center, and a right fielder

Several are actually right handed but bat lefty so they can slap as they develop their game.

Hi Jadyn, for this rec league they did not allow stealing of home plate. You could steal any other bases just not home. If you watch any of the other games on this channel it will be more of what you’re used to with all bases and home plate available to steal.

Thank you for the kind words! The girls definitely had a fun time on the field. 👍🏻

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork welcome 🙏 i think i’m gone try an adult team

@@kellsliving3220 I think that's a great idea! Best of luck and have fun!

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork thanks 😊

They only do that in 8u here. In 10u it’s all kid pitch.

Okay just wondering because I'm in a 12u team, and we do that here in Minnesota.

Thanks for all the positivity. We are playing 12u now too as this video is a little over a year old. Maybe one day we will play each other's teams! If you have a sec, please subscribe to the channel. Every softball player and fan helps the channel grow. Wishing you a super season ahead "That One Kid"!

I’m actually on the blue devils team been playing for 7 years

It was a rec league game so the season was only a couple of months long. The other games on this channel are travel team games where the game play is a little more advanced.

Catcher in the light blue is good 🥰

Sounds like Coach Viera had the right perspective…that the game should always be fun and to focus on development instead of wins and losses. Happy to hear that he was able to bring out the best in you as a catcher. It’s unfortunate that your journey went downhill from there. Catching in heat is brutal and you should never have been put in that tough predicament to play through 115 degree heat without the coach taking into account your health and welfare. This type of poor leadership is what causes the stories we hear in the news when a person passes away from heat exhaustion on the football field typically. In any case, as we both agree, the game is a ton of fun and under the right coaching it can be a true blast! I hope you do let your daughter play and I think I know a parent who could volunteer to be an outstanding coach after reading all your comments, Coach Martínez. 😁

@@christinamartinez3011 thanks so much for the kind comment about the catcher in the light blue. That’s actually my daughter, Hailey. 😁 She now plays as #7 on the Gators Jackson Lightning in the recent videos posted a week ago as well as the live streams coming up this weekend. Her team is a 12u team playing up against 14u teams. Why? Because her coach is focused on development as opposed to wins and losses, just like you wrote that should be paramount. The irony is that the team has been having great success so far, winning both of the 14u tournaments as the underdog. This coming weekend will be a true test as the tournament has some outstanding teams entered. If they win their games there, great! But if not, I’m certain they will learn and strive to get better. I think you’ll enjoy watching them play. Give the channel a like and subscribe plus check out the other games. Maybe it’ll respark that softball flame that the crappy coach extinguished. Sounds like that hunger might still be in there. Hope you get your daughter to play this super fun sport. 👍🏻😃🥎💪

Turning a double play is tough to do. Great job with catching the pop fly!

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork thanks we still lost every game though lol my coach was yelling at me because I couldn’t make a double play I caught the pop fly and threw straight back to the pitcher I was so happy cause that was my first pop fly in my game and I’m in the 10u with 6 year olds

Hi Kim, this is rec however half the girls on the field also play travel ball. Thank you for the compliment on how well they play! 😁🥎💪

Purple. Welcome to UKposts. I see you just joined today. Enjoy!

​@@FloridaSoftballNetwork how many home run did the dream team? did they win?

​@@FloridaSoftballNetworkwho is the player that has a lot of points? sorry for my questions😅

@@user-kp8bj1wm6t hi Randy, you have to watch the game to find out! = )

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork i watched it a lot, but all I can hear is the kids that shouting and also theres no caption. So pleaseeee give me the score of the winner

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Definitely safe

The more at bats you have the more your hand/eye coordination will speed up. You got this! Hit those dingers!

Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

Correct. It was a walkoff win for the Dream Team.

The more you keep playing and practicing the more confidence you'll have. Most importantly, just keep having fun playing the game. Your skills will only improve and all fear will go away. Thanks for the comment Emma!

Well I’m a picture you really got to your first part is your set up to it so the beginning helps out with everything so if you come Your arm comes behind you your pitch most likely will be a little inside instead of outside so you wanna say as straight as possible but also you wanna keep your hips out and don’t close your hips too early

@@AnnieTuckerh okay thanks. If you have any other tips please let me know

Be sure to follow Amanda Scarborough’s YT page for pitching tips. She has some super videos! ukposts.info/have/v-deo/inmhd39tfZCey30.html

@@nay5597 I use the voice thing so I can’t control what it’s really gonna say and I don’t read it before I send out the thing really

Thanks Chad!

It’s usually due to lack of confidence at the plate. The batter is scared. More coaching and practice can improve that.

This game was a 10u game, which means all the players were 10 years old or younger. Thanks for watching! If you can, please subscribe to the channel for more great games to watch! Wishing you a super day.

Thank you so much for the kind compliments Carlie. Keep working hard over the winter but, most importantly, have fun while you're doing it!

No objection by the base runner makes me think she knew she got tagged before she hit the base.

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork hm, yeah maybe! It’s kinda hard to see LOL! Great vid tho!

Good luck! Have fun! ⚾️💪

Oh my gosh I feel the same way I’m like “Yaya you did good now shut up.”

Bruh it’s parts of the game it ain’t rude everyone does it it’s for fun don’t be dramatic if the noise annoys you too bad soo sad

The chew s are supposed to make distracted

that’s the point of the cheers, to get in the pitchers head. Guess they were successful.

Rec rules did not allow stealing of home plate. All other bases were fair game. For normal rule softball games where all bases can be stolen I would recommend any of the other games on this channel which are travel softball games. Below is an exciting game from a couple of weeks ago: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/oJqcmpqWjK2LxGw.html

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork 👍🏼

I was confused too

Yea, there were some questionable calls here and there. Catcher even got a call overturned at one point in this game.

It’s a rec game so this enabled more kids to be on the field rather than in the dugout. I would suggest checking out one of the other games on this channel for regular rules and position players.

Keep having fun just playing and doing your best. It will all fall together in time with more wins.

Thank you for the compliment. I'm sure your travel team will get stronger with more practice and game experience. =)

Keep doing what your doing, working hard to get better, and you'll be hitting bombs off that pitcher next season. = )

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork Tysm! I really needed that !

They were not allowed to steal home in this game. It was a Rec game, so different rules. I would recommend watching any of the other games on this channel, which are Travel games and all bases (including home plate) can be stolen. Thanks for viewing and asking. =)

@@FloridaSoftballNetwork ok thank you! I am also a softball player and these players are amazing :)

Hi Emma! Definitely not just you. Several bad calls throughout the game. Appreciate you watching! Please subscribe to the channel to watch more great games with better calls! So close to 1000 subscribers. = )

Not sure which part of the video this is but if I’m reading what you write correctly, bases loaded and a batter getting a 4 ball call would walk in a run. Thanks for watching Hector! Please take a moment to subscribe if you would. 😁

Several of the players had never played softball before since this was a rec game. Travel players, as in the other videos on this channel, are more skilled.

In this Rec League game the rule was that you could steal all bases except home plate.

Thank you!

Thanks Kamari! Appreciate the positivity. Be sure to subscribe so you know when we post new games for you to check out. Thanks again! = )
