fall sports

We are in Georgia, so DD plays high school softball in the fall. I'm loving it! This year's team is playing well together.

My DD Is playing softball along with archery and crossfit this fall. Pretty intense.

Nothing organized, but DD plays a ton of ultimate frisbee in the fall (don't laugh!). She loves it and it provides a nice change of pace from softball.

My son plays ultimate at his college and LOVES IT!!!

My dd is playing volleyball, season has not started yet. So the team is practicing and doing scrimmages. She is also doing verta-max training with the basketball team.

My oldest is going to be a freshman this year, so this is our first trip through this. She tried out and made the JV volleyball team, although she'd never played competitive/formal volleyball in her life. So she's spent all summer at her HS already. I'm happy that she found a sport that she chose; I could tell that the year-round grind of softball was getting to her.

Spring softball in Indiana is horrible. Every other game is rained out or there is frost on the ground... Girls have to wear hoodies and jackets over their jerseys just to be out there and their hands are nearly frostbitten. Really stupid IMO.

I agree - the weather is terrible in southeastern Idaho in the spring. But the big schools over in the west side of our state would never give up their advantage...

Hey, dantay17, I'm from southeastern Idaho--use to be a potato farmer west of St. Anthony. Fall is definitely better than spring in southeastern Idaho just like here in northern Utah.

DD getting ready ready for her 1st season of hs field hockey. Kinda excited to see her play for her hs. This will be a nice break from all the softball, though still working with her travel sb team. At least for a few months, the focus can change a little.

My 6'2" 14 year old freshman daughter has given up volleyball and basketball to solely focus on softball. We don't play until the spring however all the conditioning classes, hitting and pitching take all her time. Not to mention the homework. She has recently doubled the amount of swings she takes daily to just about 300. 15 minutes here and there to make sure all 300 are with 100% effort.

My dd is a senior and plays volleyball in HS only. It is great conditioning and she has a lot of fun doing it.
They are only in HS once, playing a fall sport when SB is a spring sport is good for them. They are kids after all
