Rec League Question on Age
We follow the ASA age groups (8U - 14U) for our rec program. Since some of the girls will show more skill at different ages, we allow players to move up but do not force it. Some of them start playing for travel teams and begin to outplay the girls their own age. In some cases, it is safer...- JoeSoftball

Playing up, new team and recovering from injury
I thought I would update this a bit with what has happened since my OP. DD's physical therapy was longer than we thought but we didn't rush the end date at all. We found some good therapists that understood what she was trying to get back to and pushed her in that direction. She has been able...- JoeSoftball

Playing up, new team and recovering from injury
So while it seems that this has been slightly hijacked, I appreciate the things that everyone has brought up about levels of maturity. The team is a young 16U and she is not the only young player. A few of them are on the team to prep for HS varsity slots next year as freshmen. We didn't make...- JoeSoftball

Playing up, new team and recovering from injury
I'm not sure what to expect so I thought I would throw this out. DD is 13YO and played on a 12U A Team last year. Just before the last spring tournament, she fractured the knob at the top of the tibia off..torn meniscus in half...frayed the ACL...torn the tendons off the part of the tibia that...- JoeSoftball
