Daughter wants to quit travel ball and mom is having a hard time with it
I feel the same way about my daughter. I think she's thinking that it sounds fun to do something different, hang out with kids who aren't softball players and maybe get a summer job. There is also now a boyfriend in the mix and I think that's also factoring into her decision. And that's all...- legalbecky

That's exactly what our plan is for the summer. Visit some places over the summer as spectators and dial it down for a change, see what happens. And you're right, putting her first is the important thing.- legalbecky

Daughter wants to quit travel ball and mom is having a hard time with it
I'm a softball mom and this is my first post. My daughter will be 16 in two months. Recently, she told my husband and I she no longer wants to play travel softball and I guess I'm still a little bit in shock. She's has pitched since 10U. She has basically lived, eaten and breathed softball...- legalbecky
