Fast pitch, slow pitch are ok

I can find about a million and one basketball pre-games, but am having trouble sourcing a softball one.

Part of that depends on what level - when you expect to arrive and when you expect your partner to arrive. So many times for high scholl ball, aI see a partner showing up 15 minutes before game time. In summer ball, it's often worse - except for when we travel to a tournament as we'll have a pre-game the night before it starts - since there are 3 or 4 of us to a field. Another couple of groups are different - we may have as much as a 45-minute pre-game, during which we'll cover the items Tom listed and more. For now, go with the list that Tom posted from the ASA book - which is just about always a good starting point.

In HS, if my partner shows up 15 minutes before game time, he darn sure better be ready to go because he will have to catch me on my way to the field to check equipment...etc.

Scott,
You've probably got some of the same type in your area - I suspect every area has them.

Oh yeah...we have them. Am I patient with them? No.
