Players work hard, recognize their talents by sharing your approval of their skills, hard work and dedication to the game.

Everyone has a favorite!  Some have more than others…

Below the video player, you can click the “Heart” on any video to add to your favorites.

You will find the video you have clicked on your tagupSofball Channel, under the “Favorites” tab.

So many choices…  How long?  What weight?  What drop?  What size gloves to infielders use vs. outfielders?  What size for my weight and height?

With the cost of equipment, and so many choices and variables, we wanted our players and parents to have this section to give you some insight as to what other players are using to give you some form of reference or guidance.

Everyone has there own opinion and preference when it comes to equipment.  Hopefully, this will be a great starting point for everyone as they get ready to start researching for their next purchase.

There are many different opinions on instruction in all aspects of the game.  Pitching, catching, fielding, and so many forms of hitting.  While we could have just listed every instructor we could find to fill this space, we are going to take a different approach.

Anyone who is interested in becoming a certified tagupInstructor must apply. You will be required to provide references, years of experience, areas of specialty and types of lessons you will offer.

Our goal is not to make money off of your lessons.  We will charge the tagupInstructor a flat processing fee for every lesson to cover our transaction and billing costs.  The goal is to give you access to the best instruction, that best suits your need, regardless of your location.

Stay tuned, and we will keep you updated as we go through all the applications and get ready to launch this service!

In every players profile it will state whether or not the player has verbally committed to a College or University.  This will help recruiters know who is, and who is not currently available.  It will also list the the school they have committed to continue their education and softball at.

In an average tournament game, you may see a batter at-bat 3 times, and possiblly field a few balls in 1.5 to 2 hours.  Imagine the possibility of seeing all that from the comfort of your office in just a few minutes.  In the time you spent to watch that came, you could have watched an entire season of the player.  Plus, you have the ability to watch it again and analyze it as many times as you want.  Again, you have highly customizable filtering capability like never seen before.
