Accept the fact that modern teenage girls DO NOT want to wear shirts tucked in or sleeves rolled down, etc. If they tuck the shirt in it will only be enough so that they can fold it over the waist band. This is the same way they wear their casual clothes and they are not hung up on uniforms as boys are. And for the most part, the NFHS recognizes this; they don't force softball coaches to wear uniforms, they don't force girls to wear pants or hats.
I will not fight this! There are too many other battles to be won during the game that are far more important. I don't even care if the shirt is out on offense. I make sure the coach knows that a ball striking loose clothing will not get a girl a trip to 1B, and they might be called out if a tag is applied to loose clothing. Then we play the game.
