I've been a part of every side of HS softball, from the ridiculously horrible, to mediocre, to pretty serviceable, to really good (). And honestly it had no effect on my DD as far as going back to her travel team later or being recruited. Our first travel practice after HS ball it was always said.....we're gonna practice the school ball right out you!!
Won't lie, there was some rough stupid times, until we realized we were really getting upset for nothing!
Be a leader, proudly represent your school, bond with your teammates, swing out of your cleats and hit dingers! It's what you make it!
Probably the happiest I've ever seen Anna play was her junior and senior years on Friday nights under the lights, especially when we were in the running for State playoffs and playing a rival team or one of the non-conference hot shot teams from Charlotte that always had several D1 commits on their roster!
EDIT.....gotta say, the absolute worst part of HS ball was the umpires, our umpires! I'd love to see the hiring applications, it had to have read like.....
If you're completely blind in one eye, and can't see out of the other eye...apply within!
If you were the head cafeteria / lunch lady and would like to try your hand at umpiring...apply within.
If you absolutely hate softball, hate softball players, and especially hate coaches...you're hired!!
