    'Watching your kid dominate is mostly for your own ego" I should've worded that differently, point well taken. I only meant that a certain level of confidence is taken away from a player when they aren't being given the opportunity to grow. For me, keeping your child in the appropriate age...

    Good call, thank you. She had a bit of slump early on in the season but worked out of it. She has a good eye, a beautiful swing, makes contact 85% of the time.

    Just curious what thoughts the parents and coaches familiar with youth travel softball have on this... My daughter tried out and made an experienced/competitive 12U travel team that was looking for two new players, this would give them a roster of 11. She was told playing time would be limited...
