The Kyle Softball Complex just North of Dayton has 12 Brick dust fields, new restrooms, 225 fences, no gate fee and field maint. ????
Kyle Softball Complex is a very nice park.... IMO, much nicer than Kettering Fields or Rowe

the ASA scheduler sends the crew. We do not pick them.Rowe Sport Complex was a very decent place. Concession was decent, the toilet facilities were great (indoor, flush), the grounds were kept super all weekend, the teams and parents great. Hats off to whomever took care of that facility. My only complaint was the umpire staff. Even though this was the site of the 10U portion of this tourney, don't you think the umping crew should know 1.) a strike zone and 2.) the rules of playing this game. The umping was consistant for all...HORRID. There were way to numerous blunders by them. Just because it was 10U, it just is not acceptable to send totally inferior crews, way to many of these girls, at this level know the rules.
Besides all the negative about the tournament anyone see or watch any good teams or players that stood out?
It has everything to do with the City.. only the city is able to install anything on the complex that involves the fields and players due to an insurance liability issue... if a third party puts up a fence and it is install wrong and their is an injury - lawsuits will fly. we were told 2 years ago that we are not allowed to install any fencing -We priced out temp fencing - it was not allowed to be installed by us.But correct me if I am wrong, because I am wrong every once in a great while (lol), the temp fencing has nothing to do with City of Dayton, right?
I AGREE... on Thursday we talked to the city and were assured that they would be cleaned out on Saturday.. never happened...The port-a-johns are the absolute worst. Lots of great competition though and many nice people.

I absolutly understand and truly appreciate that fact. I was just stating, that they flat out ****ed. The rest of the tourney for 10 U was GREAT. Watched some really talented 10U's play very very well.the ASA scheduler sends the crew. We do not pick them.
I agree. Some of the calls were questionable at best. I say that every weekend though LOLI absolutly understand and truly appreciate that fact. I was just stating, that they flat out ****ed. The rest of the tourney for 10 U was GREAT. Watched some really talented 10U's play very very well.

Watched some of the Ohio Storm 02 and Laser white 02 games on Sunday. Two very good teams!!! During one of the games I witnessed something that I had never seen before. One of the pitchers called time and asked the opposing team (LASER'S) to stop calling out her pitches to their batters!! LOL!! I say good for her and that was brave of her. Really we call pitches out on ten year olds LOL!!!!!!!:lmao:
I have seen and heard more of teams doing this a lot this year. Seriously, what is the point of it? Are you helping your dd out by giving them the instant gratification of a possible hit? Wouldn't it be better long term to have them learn by themselves at the plate? I see catchers set up either inside or outside all the time on my dd. never have I said inside or out. It is counterproductive. She will be a better hitter being able to read it herself.
Andrew this one was bad. The dugout would scream Crush this change up mid pitch and BOOM bombs to the out field 4 times in a row. I dont agree with the coach telling his pitcher to say that to the coach. I dont think he should put a 10 year old in that spot. IMOI have seen and heard more of teams doing this a lot this year.

As for the calling out of pitches, I feel way different about it if you're talking about adults (parents/coaches) doing it vs. fellow players. I assume you're talking about adults ...
