Hi- I'm "officially" new to the form, but I have lurked around from time to time in the past Hoping the experts can lend some advice....
My DD was fortunate enough to play for a small D1 in Fall 2013-Spring 2014. She had a good Freshman year; started all games (multiple outfield positions and 2nd base), hit a decent 372 in conference play.... but the school was not a fit, she was not happy and she decided to leave. She was granted her release and she decided to enroll in another school this Fall (not playing ball). This would also give her the opportunity to rehab some injuries and get ready for Fall 2015.
My DD has confirmed that she still loves the game, and she would like to play ball again. She is now learning that it is very hard to make contact with coaches. She has started the letter writing again, but is getting the standard "we are full" responses (understandable). Since she just turned 19 she can't play travel ball, so options for exposure are difficult.
I told her I would try to help...So the question is, given our situation what options are available? Are there any over 18 teams/ tournaments? How do girls in this situation or even JC players get exposure or transfer? I would think there would be opportunities to showcase transfer players , but I just cant find any. Are there any secrets for finding schools looking for transfer players?
Thanks in advance, Any help is greatly appreciated-
