🥎 ATTENTION TRAVEL SOFTBALL PARENTS! 🥎

With so many late-summer tryouts being postponed or rescheduled due to the smoky wildfire conditions across the area, now is the perfect time to sit down, stay indoors, and get ahead of the game!

In Episode 17 of the Bucket Dads Podcast, Rob and Chad break down everything you need to know about navigating tryout season—from why your athlete should try out for other teams (even if you plan on staying!), to scouting sideline "parent packs," evaluating coaching styles, and spotting red flags before signing an offer.

Don't let the smoke delay your preparation. Grab a drink, stay safe inside, and give it a watch/listen before your player steps back out on the dirt!
