k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Any softball players?? DD10 is playing for an ASA team this year and needs some sliding shorts. Where is the best place to get them?? I've seen some online marked as "girl's", are they only different from "boy's" because they don't have a cup pocket? Does she need girl specific ones??

kaylk in tx Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 go to a sports store like academy, sports authority, etc. they'll have everything you could possibly need and be able to answer all your questions. having young boys in baseball, i'd assume the only real difference would be the pocket for the cup for the younger kids. as you get into the teen years, they may be cut a little differently to allow for "hips" on the girls.

k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 The only sports store in town is Dick's and they are known for being outrageously priced. I was hoping I could find them somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weaver_67579 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That was the only place I found around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) If your only sports store doesn't have them at the price you want, are you wanting to buy online? Just for perspective, we usually pay about $20-35 for dd's. We usually get ours at Big 5, but it sounds like you don't have one of those. If you shop online, Sports Authority has some. As far as difference between boys and girls, obviously there is no cupie hole, and I believe there is actually more padding on the outside thigh and hip (w/o being bulky), but she won't need specific ones unless the girls play in shorts and in that case you should check with the coach to tell you which color and if there is a specific brand they want you to buy. Each team is different. Edited August 11, 2010 by LunaLee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baseball mom Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I have baseball players and get their stuff at Dick's or Hibbetts. Both are priced about the same. Pay $25-$30 for sliders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2bdeutmeyer Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 She will be playing in shorts this year. We were given no instruction on brand, only color (black or white). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teachermom2834 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I don't know about softball but I buy baseball sliding shorts at http://www.baseballexpress.com. They have great prices/ fast shipping/ good customer service. I remember that they had a softball site as well. I bought at Dick's once but after discovering Baseball Express that is where I buy all our basic gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
