My DD is a sophomore and is beginning the process of looking at colleges to attend after HS. We did a search of colleges within a certain radius of home (she wants to stay within 3 hours of home) and also have her major available. From the list she then began emailing the coach for each college and completing the "recruit me" form. She wants to attend a smaller school as she feels that she will get "lost" in a large city type school. So, since her emails from a couple of weeks ago she has received a few emails and several mailings from the colleges. At her game last week she noticed a college coach sitting in the stands during her game but didn't recognize the logo on her jacket. Several players noticed her and were all curious why or who she was there to watch.
My DD only pitched 3 innings that game and didn't get any chances to bat (coaches decision). It was the coaches plan to pitch all three pitchers during that game so after 3 innings she was pulled, regardless of performance or score. She pitched well giving up 4 hits and 0 earned runs in 3 innings to a good hitting team. After the game her HS head coach stopped her before getting on the bus and gave her a business card from the college head coach explaining that due to NCAA rules and the fact she was only a sophomore she wasn't allowed to talk directly with my DD. Obviously my DD is on cloud nine with total excitement in the fact that a coach drove 2-1/2 hours to come watch HER play. She followed up with an email to the coach thanking her for coming to watch. Very exciting time for my DD!
