Top ten travel ball clichés

~ SA Otey
  1. Every single dugout cheer ever, all teams do the same ones, not every team is “unstoppable”
  2. The parent who is cursing at the coach for their kids’ playing time
  3. The stat keeper who is advising the coach on what player should be in the lineup
  4. The bleacher coach is overriding the coach’s play.
  5. The grandparents are cheering for their player for sitting on the bench the whole game.
  6. The e-cigarette guy who is blowing vapors in the stands, because he says it’s not a real cigarette.
  7. The concession stand junkie who is constantly chowing down on greasy treats
  8. The Travel Ball Pro has tents, yeti coolers, and fans powered by generators.
  9. The kid who is an emotional wreck after every minor error or who cries after they go deep and they catch the fly ball.
  10. The football fan is watching the game rather than his child.

Travel Ball Tournament Essentials

~ SA Otey

What do you bring when you’re at an all-day softball or baseball tournament?

A player – It doesn’t make sense to attend a tournament if you don’t have a player, maybe if you are watching someone you know. But if you are there and don’t know anyone you might cause suspicion if you start walking onto the field and high-fiving players.

A cooler – Preferably something that holds ice for more than an hour

Something to keep a cooler cold – You can put ice or these cooler shock packs

Something to keep cold – Skip the soda and beer and bring lots of water and Gatorade. Bring fruits, nuts, and other low-sugar snacks to keep you fueled.

Cooling towels – It’s better than a paper towel

Sunscreen – https://amzn.to/4iwnpooDon’t forget to apply every few hours or you will have tan lines on your face.

A Chair – Preferably one with shade if you don’t have any friends who brought a canopy.

First aid kit – Things will happen, and bleed or get swollen.

Wagon – It’s better than carrying everything

Throw some Shade – Instead of looking like a sun-dried tomato, grab yourself some brella and man-made shade

Disappointment – Don’t forget to bring your complaining face. If your child is not performing at a perfection level, let them know in front of all the other parents.
