I am the only ISF certified umpire in my country. I am trying to organize an umpire’s assn but I’m finding it very hard to do so. Have some guys and gals interested in umpiring but it’s difficult to hold clinics and even more difficult to obtain umpire uniforms. If anybody out there have some uniforms that could be donated, please give me a holler.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES IN BRITISH SOFTBALL
IMPORT COACHES
The British Softball Federation hopes to enhance its programmes with support from talented coaches who are available between April and August 2008.
Coaches need to have a good knowledge of softball (both slowpitch and fastpitch). They should have had some experience coaching in one or both formats and be able to deliver coaching sessions to children and adults. Much of the work will be done in schools and youth academies as well as with local clubs.
We currently have openings for Import Coaches in the North West and South East of England, in London and in the West Midlands.
Coaches will be assisted with living arrangements and costs, your flight to and from the UK (if necessary), and your basic work and living expenses.
The work itself is hard, often involving afternoon, evening, and weekend sessions, but rewarding. Previous Import Coaches have been able to develop their coaching abilities, add to their CV, enjoy an excellent coaching experience, and have a fun time delivering sessions in the sport they love to play.
Appointment dates are up for negotiation between April and August. You will need to be prepared to use public transport and have your own travel and medical insurance. If you are placed in the West Midlands or the North West you will require a driver’s licence.
You may need to adjust to the fact that our leagues are quite small, especially with regard to fastpitch and our fields are multipurpose facilities that many sports share. At both a junior and senior level, everyone is still learning many aspects of the game. That’s why we need your help! But we can promise you that it will all be a lot of fun!
To apply for an Import Coach position, please send your CV showing relevant experience to Hayley Scott (hayley.scott@bsukmail.com) by February 12, 2008.

Situtation: B1 thinks she has completed her turn at bat and goes to the dugout. The PU has lost count and the PU has 2ball and 2strikes. PU is unsure what to do since B1 entered the dugout, so he request the UIC and explain the situation and the UIC rules that B1 is out for entering the dugout. I disagreed, because she never completed her turn at bat. Where can we find a rule covering completed turn at bat.

does anybody else agree that pitchers face masks are the dumbest thing that were invented. First off, they don’t do anything for you, if you are afraid that you are going to get hit then don’t play. you know the risks stepping on the feild. Second, were softball players, we have good reaction time move out of the way. Third, first and third get a lot more line drives than the pitcher. Forth, if you are a good pitcher, they arent going to hit to many line drives right back at you. Fifth, I’ve heard arguments such as a girl got hit in the chest, fell down and starting seizing, do you suggest we wear chest protecters to when we pitch. Sixth, they only cover your face, what if you get hit in the side or back of your head, bigger brain damage possibility there. Seventh, players don’t wear socks anymore, there’s a good chance you could be cleated and damage your leg too. Eighth, you can be injured from anything, so be brave and just play. Ninth, college softball doesnt even require batter face masks, and you don’t see to many facial injuries and Tenth, THEY INVENTED THE GLOVE TO PROTECT YOU. please reply to this I’d like to hear others opinions on this "great" invention. if they ever require face masks for pitchers, I will quit.

For that matter, could you please e-mail me a list of all the Modified Leagues under your jurisdiction throughout the country. I am the President of the Men’s Modified Softball Club, on softballfans.com. I want to spread the word about Modified Softball to the playing population. If players knew of a league in their area, they might be more apt to play Modified. I am simply trying provide as much information as I can. Thank you again.

I am an avid softballer. I play Modified Fastpitch here in NY, Long Island to be exact. What does the ISF offer in the way of Modified leagues for Men in lower NY? With the ASA becoming more stringent, for lack of a better term, on their standards for bat usage, what does the ISF offer to us here in NY? Many of my teammates and others within the league are disgusted with the ASA, simply because of the monetary issue. We spend a lot on bats, they are not cheap at all. Now they are banning more and more bats, for "safety" reasons. An alternative to the ASA would be nice, but many of us do not know if there are any at this time. Please advise. Matthew Karlin

Hello! I am presently conducting a little study under the form of a 1-question survey to find out what are the biggest challenges that coaches face when it comes to running their program. I am planning to publish an article with the results. As I said - it is a 1-question survey. It will take you less than 1 minute. You can find it there: http://www.softballperformance.com/survey.php To thank you for taking time to answer it, I am also offering you a complimentary copy of my new book "125 Top Performance Secrets of the World’s Best Softball Players". You can certainly send copies of it to all your athletes and fellow coaches. Not only will it help them but they will certainly greatly appreciate the gesture. So.. please take less than 1-minute of your time to answer the following question: As a coach, what is your biggest challenge when it comes to running your program? You can answer it here: http://www.softballperformance.com/survey.php Thank you very much, Marc Dagenais Ph.D. student in sport psychology Softball Coach and Consultant www.softballperformance.com
