As I am involved with the 10u circuit I hear MANY cheers thru out the day. Funniest one has to be.............
"hey pitcher,whats the matter, why are you trying to kill our batter", when there is an inside tight pitch.
That is in place of the old famous "hey batter,whats the matter,cant you take a little chatter", from the defense.

Saw this cheer first in Pigeon Forge Tennessee last July in the SEAA Worlds. It has now made it to Ohio, thanks to my DD. :

? ? I'm fine with the girls cheering. ?I too think it keeps them up and at least focused on the game in general. ?My guess is, they still aren't all in the dugout paying attention to the coach giving signals or watching the base runners, but as Knights said, it's better than having them talking about their boyfriends, or the mall, etc... ?We also only allow the girls to do positive cheers about our team, or neutral cheers that don't attack the other team, and if we are way up in the score, we don't continue to do cheer after cheer after cheer. ?It becomes disrespectful at that point, IMHO. ?
? ? I do know that the male coaches I coach with would rather the girls didn't do "cheers", maybe it's a guy thing. ?: ?I helped with our HS team this year and while they didn't do "cheers", the head coach did expect them to stay in the game and cheer/clap/support their teammates.

And what's with Mike Candrea allowing all that racket in his dugout? I think he should make those girls run laps for all that hootin' and hollerin'!! Don't college girls know any better? Can't these college coaches even control their teams? After they turn 14 they're supposed to sit on the bench and be quiet!! What's the deal anyway?
