1. The better the team, the less your chid's playing time. If your child plays on one of the premier teams (OC Batbusters, Beverly Bandits, etc.) she is not going to play as much. On the other hand, your child is almost guaranteed a scholarship to a great school. You can't have one without the other.
2. Softball on good teams (and most college teams) is like work. No one is indispensable. If you or your kid are too much of a prima donna, you'll be told to leave and not let the door hit you or your DD on the backside.
3. For 99.9% of the kids, softball ends when they graduate from college. When it is over, it is over. You and your DD will move on. Softball is just something they do for a few years before they get jobs, careers, spouses and children.
