Advice for stressed out new travel ball parent....
So what do you think you will do this summer? Play her again with the current 12U team she is on? (for us that would mean she will play with them for another year, and then either move up early again, or find another team when she is 11 turning 12...) Or try to find a team with mostly 2005...- msamom

Advice for stressed out new travel ball parent....
This is what I did - move her up to 12U right when she turned 10. She had usually played up in house ball, so she (and I) thought it would be "fun" to keep her with girls she had played with before. That was my mistake. If I had put her on that 10U team, I think she could've shined more...- msamom

Advice for stressed out new travel ball parent....
You all are awesome -- I really really appreciate all the advice. So now how do you undo any damage? Like if I had said: "Hmm..I do wonder what it would have been like if you had played with that 10U TB team." She has said she knows she probably won't get much playing time, seems a bit down...- msamom

I am stressed about pitching time, playing time, etc... as my daughter is one of the weaker players on her 12U team (I played her up and realized maybe this was a mistake, but too...- msamom

Evoloution of a pitcher from 10U to 12U
Thank you folks above for replying. The input is helpful, and I want to go in knowing what to expect. Sometimes I do regret it because she made a 10U team that was a little further away, the coach really wanted her and said she needs to be playing travel ball somewhere. But we will finish the...- msamom

Evoloution of a pitcher from 10U to 12U
This is great to hear. I am stressing a bit about my DD's situation. I decided to play her up in 12U so she could play with friends. But now that tournament season is starting, I don't think she'll be getting very much playing time. The older girls are definitely better than her, and she is...- msamom

Mental help, first year 12u
To the OP, this could be my team too. I understand the frustration first-hand. I am AC for my daughter's 12U team. We are a brand new team, and 3 of the girls are 10U girls we moved up to fill roster spots. 2 of the pitchers have never touched a 12inch ball before this fall. Mentally they...- msamom
