I am hosting a poll on the Texas Prep Softball website's forum to vote on whether we all think the UIL should go ahead and move the pitching distance to 43' for this upcoming season (2010) or wait until the mandatory time (2011). You do not have to be a member of that forum to vote in this poll. We are going to present the results of the poll at the UIL Update meeting for softball coaches at 10:30 am on Thursday at the TGCA Summer Clinic in Austin. I will post results of that meeting on the Texas Prep Softball website and forum as soon as I can after that meeting has concluded.

My sources have told me that the UIL may be leaning to wait until 2011 season to implement this rule, but that isn't confirmed or set in stone. I believe they would like to hear from the coaches and fans of high school softball before making the final call on this rule.

So come on over and vote!

I say why wait? Let's do it now!

would be better for the hitters this season!

What did they decide? Implement it in 2010 or 2011?

2011.....

UIL did not entertain any discussion or questions on the subject at TGCA summer clinic.

I see Texas will behind again when it comes to Softball with not going with the 43' now instead of waiting.
