It is very important for every athlete of every sport to know the history of the sport he or she is playing by heart and mind... most especially in the sport we call softball. Softball history traces its roots way back the 1880s specifically during the Thanksgiving Day of 1887. Once upon a time, a man who goes by the name of George Hancock started it all. It really was not meant to create softball it was more of an accident actually.

During the Thanksgiving Day of 1887 while having a softball meeting about an annual softball game a Yale student threw a boxing glove at a Harvard student. The reason as to why it was done was not clear but because of that incident softball was created... The Harvard student took a piece of stick in order to counter the boxing glove thrown at him and Mr. George Hancock shouted the words "Play Ball". It then was played constantly and became known as "indoor baseball" because it was mainly played inside houses or garages. It had a purpose of serving as the training process of baseball players during the winter months.

Actually, the name for this sport was not softball to begin with. It harbored names such as "kitten ball", "pumpkin ball", "diamond ball", and a whole lot more. But with the decision of the National Recreation Congress the name of softball was given thanks to the wonderful suggestion of Sir Walter Hakanson which is a YMCA. It slowly started spreading across the whole of Northern America and was given a standardized set of softball rules and regulations which makes it an officially sport.

I recently received an email asking this question: Is there an Internet site that lists the best times in Washington for youth track and field performances other than high school?

Bill White of Kalama (WA) then added, "I am currently coaching my 14-year-old grandson and at his first school meet he ran 11.7 for 100 meters and 54.8 for 400 meters."

I immediately thought of dyestat.com as it is the best resource for tracking high school track & field and cross-country performances nationally. Dyestat.com offers a storehouse of information that it monitors very closely for accuracy and completeness. To submit an event result to dyestat.com you must be a recognized high school coach.

Because dyestat.com does not cover pre-high school performances it is not a useful site for learning what is happening among middle school athletes. To know what is happening at the middle school level, you can access eliteyouth.com. Eliteyouth.com publishes results for athletes Under 9 to 17-18, both boys and girls.
