We have been involved in travel ball for almost a year now and are searching for a team again. I don't know which direction to go and wanted to know what others experiences have been. My DD has a good swing and when she makes contact, she usually drives it pretty well. She is not as consistent as others though, mostly due to her mental approach. We have been through the not swinging stage and the constant swing and miss stage. She is starting to make contact now, but her confidence is not always there. In any 4 at bats, she will usually get a hit, walk, and a couple of strikeouts. She is an average fielder for her age (moving into 12u). My delimma is which direction to go when choosing a team. She could get on a lower level team in the area fairly easily, but I don't think she would be pushed. I can see her settling for being the best on a bad team. There are a few B level teams in the area, but spots on these teams are limited and I don't know that she could make these teams because of how inconsistent her bat is at this time. We don't mind her sitting and having to work towards more playing time, but we also don't want to join a team 2 hours away, just to have her play a few games here and there in tournaments. Thoughts?
