What is the best hairdo to wear in order to prevent any loose hair parts while I play softball?|||Mohawk baby. Stay young, stay fresh. Short buzz with a little longer hawk.|||I play fast pitch and usually 2 french braids keeps my bangs out of my face. a high ponytail and a braid with your bangs braided in helps too.

What fastpitch softball bat should I consider?
I am looking for a new softball bat for the upcoming season and I would like to get it early so that I can become familiar with it before the season starts. I am 5'0 so I need a relatively short bat. I have never really been a long ball hitter and I prefer to be able to swing the bat fast. I am also asked to bunt frequently. So what bat(s) should I consider? Please let me know and thanks in advance!|||go to a sports store|||Check with someone at a good sports store... MC Sports or something.... They'll always be glad to help out and are typically experts on that sort of thing.|||a nice light bat, thats composite and can get a good hit if you do swing away is the catalyst by louisville slugger
i love it|||I play men's fastpitch fastball, and I always see the green 2-piece bats. I think they are Easton. They are classified as slow-pitch bats, but we use them because they never bend. All the fast pitch bats would bend.

How many pitches should an 11 year-old softball pitcher have?
I am 11 (12 on march 28) and i am a softball pitcher. I currently havve three pitches; fastball, change-up , and a drop ball.(which i am throwing good.) Should I ask my pitching coach when I will be learning a new pitch or what?|||If you want to ask about a new pitch from a curiosity stand point, why not? I think 3 pitches for your age is excellent. I've seen girls @ 11, 12 say they know 6 or 7 pitches, but all of them look like a fastball. My daughter is 12 and also knows 3, but the 3 she knows, she throws really well. She asks me sometimes when she'll learn another. I leave it up to her coach to decide when she's ready.|||I was a pitcher for 11 years. It's good to hear that you are taking your time with your pitches and developing them well. I would say for now, you are fine with those pitches. You are better of developing a few pitches that you throw very well they trying to establish a whole arsenal of mediocre pitches. Just make sure that you are able to throw those pitches with accuracy (inside, outside etc.) When you are able to throw these pitches with great accuracy, you are in great shape.
Probably in another year or two when the softball competition gets a bit tougher, I would recommend learning a curve ball. The curve ball ended up being my best pitch (but again, it was though much practice). [It's a great strike out pitch!]
Also, make sure you know when to throw your pitches so that they work to their greatest potential and keeps hitters on their toes.|||If you have 3 pitches and can control them, why would you need more?
Most pitchers don't have 2 good pitches.
Your fast ball makes the change up and drop look better.
A good pitcher controls the game, even if you have all of the pitches you can lose if you can't fool the batters.

Is there a difference between softball and baseball cleats?
I am about to start softball and i have never played before. I have some cleats and i was wondering if there was a difference between softball and baseball cleats. if so what is it?|||There is no difference. The only difference there MIGHT be is the bottom of the cleat. You can have METAL or MOLDED cleats. There are softball cleats that are metal but the majority of the time the baseball cleats TEND TO BE metal and softball cleats TEND TO BE molded. BUT, metal cleats are allowed in softball, made for softball, AND VISE VERSA. SO IT REALLY WOULDN'T MATTER WHAT CLEATS YOU BOUGHT.|||There is no real difference except baseball cleats come with metal spikes. Some cleats can be changed so they can be metal or rubber. You can't wear the metal cleats playing softball in high school or playing most rec leagues.|||not really
except..
ones for guys
the otheres for girls|||I'm with the 14 15' group in baseball and we got sharper metal cleats so if we get in a fight we can stab the other oponets face. but yes all metal cleats are quiete different basically in style some grip bases better while running like mine do but i play on a grass field so you need the sharp grip ones :D more excuses too hurt some1 with em. second base for the win but good luck in softball don't ever play baseball girls r too weak :D emotional i stand in that statement.|||You should check with you league on the type of cleat. In my league we cannot have metals; they have to be solid plastic. So I advise you to check with your coach or softball league rules of play.|||no difference|||there's really no difference besides the way they fit, just like the difference between men's and women's shoes
baseball cleats come in both metal and platic, and so do softball cleats
i would recommend metal cleats if they are allowed

Why do softball players always crowd the plate for EVERY homerun?
I can't watch the us softball team anymore. Every single time someone hits a homerun, all the players gather around the plate and celebrate as if they have just won the world series. I think it is really pathetic and childish. They should be able to act like they have been there before. Would a little sportsmanship hurt?|||gee, sort of like all those soccer players do when they jump all over a player who scores one lousy goal?
If it's good enough for professional kick ball players, why not softball?
My suggestion is if it bothers you that much, turn the channel! Pretty simple solution.|||yeah i noticed that too, its really annoying, just get on with the game already|||Hitting a homerun isn't as easy as it looks. The whole point of the game is sportsmanship, so when a teammate of yours hits a homerun one of the best ways to congratulate them is to meet them at homeplate. It's always been the thing-to-do when a person hits a homerun so I don't see why they would just stop all of a sudden.

How do I stay in shape during the softball off season?
I play for a tournament softball team, we had our last game and won't play again until January. How do I stay in shape, practice, get better, etc over the winter?|||Hey!
I play softball too and I kno it can be tough to stay in shape. Here are a few simple ways to stay in shape:
-try to run at least 3 times a week
-find someone to throw the ball with every once in a while
-stretch as often as possible
-toss yourself pop flies
-do wrist snaps into ur glove
-go to batting cages!
-play another sport
-eat healthy|||Lots of beer, pizza and cigars. You will be in perfect shape for next season.|||play like basketball or another winter sport|||are you seriuos? No one in softball is in shape...that is why they play softball! Just hit the cages once in a while %26amp; maybe a practice or two a month. Softball is pretty damn easy. I play for 3 softball teams %26amp; 1 baseball team on the weekends, i never worry about getting into or staying in shape, you dont need to do anything really.
Wow vicious peopole, i apologize, I was under the asumption the question was regarding slow pitch softball! I didnt realize it was womens softball, that is another matter completely. I have seen women fast pitch softball %26amp; they are in damn good shape! Coudlnt help ya on that never played fastpitch softball, only baseball! I apologize people commun misunderstanding. It doesnt say it is slow pitch or not %26amp; i made an asumption!|||You can join another team that may be less competitive than a tournament team. You can go out maybe a couple times a week or more and hit in batting cages, get a friend to soft toss to you or you can get a tee and hit off one of those by yourself. Another thing is just simply go out for a jog everyday, do another sport completely that you like until you start up again. Hope this helped
Kevin ....your an idiot you most likely play on a men's softball team that uses the squishy white balls. Am I right? That's called slow pitch and its intended for aging old men. This person is probably talking about fast-pitch which is entirely different. I play for my school and on a couple of other teams. I have conflicts cause we practice everyday. People like you really tick me off.|||That Kevin dude is a dumb ***. He's just ignorant.
I play 14U travel softball, and my season just ended also. I just try to work out as much as possible and eat healthy. I also play golf(walking) for high school and tour.
Basically..stay as active as possible during the off season.|||you should just execise daily or something. i have played softball for 9 years and i worry about the same thing.
:)|||Okay first of all, that Kevin dude is extremely ignorant and obviously doesn't know what in the name of all that is holy he's talking about. I would suggest to stay in shape, you hit the gym. As in using the treadmill, lifting some weights, but for getting better during softball, I'd suggest you just keep getting someone just to throw the ball around with you, or maybe get to the batting cages every once in a while.|||bowl and lots of beer. Please it is softball. They have they word soft in there for a reason.|||i would every night do sit ups push ups and leg lifts and also find some other things to do that involve stomach things.
and also to go to the gym or find a tredmill somewhere and start to run. it will also help you with your speed.
sorry if this doesnt help much. my team is a all year around but we live in illionis. crazy rightt?

How should I wear my hair for my softball game?
Okay, So I have a softball game in an hour, and I never know how to wear my hair. If I put it in a pony tail, it always gets messed up. And, I have NO clue how to french braid. I am 12, in 8th grade. My hair is a little passed my shoulders, and it is brown with blonde highlights! All suggestions are welcome! Thanks!|||buzz|||Well, in softball, your hair is always going to get messed up. lol. But I do this:
1. Get your hair wet and put it in a high, tight ponytail.
2. Pull the hair tie out a little to loosen up the ponytail just a little.
3. Here comes the confusing part... hold your hair tie with one hand and with the other hand, put one finger in your hair, from the TOP. It's like when you part your hair down the middle, you go all the way from the front to where the hair tie is. EXCEPT, do not part your hair till you get to your hair tie.
I'll try to draw it. lol. If you are looking at this from the top, this is what it should look like.
hole: O
tie: ===
4. Then, with the hair tie in your hand, put the hair tie and hair into the hole. Basically just flip your hair towards your head.
5. Pull tight and put a cute headband on. Then put a cute bow.
Basically, your hair is just doing a front flip. That is really the best I can explain it. Sorry if you don't understand, but if you do, it is just a really cute hairstyle that us 17 year old kids do.|||I always wear mine in a ponytail to softball games. If you have pieces of hair that fall into your face, use a headband to keep those hairs back.|||if you have no fringe-straighten it and draw it back into a SLEEK ponytail and if you do have a fringe clip it back|||Pull it back in a ponytail. But once you get it nice and tight, put a sport ponytail and you're good to go.|||I would do two piggy tails. I think they look cute under a helmet. Use a thin headband to pull back any stray hairs.
