My dd is trying out for a team in August. We don't know what to expect b/c she has never had to tryout before. It is for a 10 and under team. Will she have to pick a position to tryout for? She just loves the game and practices at every position in our back yard. She takes pitching lessons also...
Maybe it does get easier as they get older. My dd has one more full year of 8under, hopefully after that year things will calm down. Yes my dd plays other things, basketball and swim team. We have just never seen this level of drama. Also, that is USSSA ranking which does not mean much I agree...
We were with the same people her whole time in softball. Been with the new team for 2 months and it seems people on this team are upset with these coaches but for a different reason- about to "reorganize the team for 10 under" and get rid of the weak links. They are very serious and want a team...
My kids have all been involved with sports for about 7 years now. We have never had a problem with any other sport but softball. The drama is so high in this sport that there have been many times when I have encouraged my daughter to quit. My daughter is a natural athlete and softball is her...
When my daughter committed to Fall Ball the practice schedule was two- two hour practices per week with an optional hitting practice one other night for two hours. A few weeks ago the optional practice was made mandatory for a total of 6-7hours of practice per week. We feel like this is to much...

She has to move up to 8 and under this year. She had a great season last year and had other league teams asking her to play. The team she is on now is league/travel team. They play league games during the week and tourneys on weekend. They have 3- 2-1/2 hour practices a week. I'm afraid she is...
My 6 year old is moving up to 8 and under machine pitch for Fall. Her coach is insisting that every girl have at least a 12 inch glove. My daughter plays short stop. When I went to the store to buy a new glove for her the man in the store said it was crazy to insist that 5-6-7 year olds get 12...
