Here is the toughest part

• I will be a silent source of encouragement during my child's games. This is especially important at the younger age levels. Fastpitch requires focus and concentration, and most of the time parents and fans are sitting fairly close to players as they are hitting, on deck, catching or pitching. Please let the coaches have your child's attention and let your child focus on them, and the game. Imagine yelling into the quarterback’s ear right before he snaps the ball. This sounds tough, but it is actually relaxing when you let your child play, and the coaches coach, and you get to sit back and enjoy the game!
