I guess I should have worded it differently. I meant that I tried to encourage her to consider trying other things next year and then decide if she would like to get back into softball. Right or wrong, if she loves the game, I will support her until she says no more. I was just making sure she understood that there are other activities out thereYou're the parent. You don't talk a 6/7 year old out of something. You tell them and they do it.
In a typical game, probably 6 innings. She will have to move up to 10U next year. She does get to play at least one inning, normally two. If some of the kids are absent, she gets to play most of the game, and pretty decently I may add ;-) However, that has only occurred twice.How many innings are there in a typical game for her team? Will she still be 8u next spring or does she turn 9 this year?
Thank you all for your input! Our team is very competitve (but not considered the best) but winning is the ultimate goal. I cannot say I didn't know that going in, but I guess I didn't understand that meant some players wouldn't play or bat (yes, silly me!). So we have decided to try out for a team that appears to be focused on teaching the kids and making sure they all get to play in order to improve. They may not win every game, but I have noticed the girls are having fun and learning. If that doesn't work out, we will just go from there. In the mean time, I will let her play Fall Ball and will do some research on softball techniques myself in order to help her. Again, thanks!
