My DD's room mate is a field hockey player and they started I believe a little before classes started bease their season is in the fall but as for softball(this is D1) they started practice right around the 1st of September. Hope this helps
DD was doing an animal report once and wanted a video about zebras ........long story short i told her to google "zebra videos" couple minutes later all i hear is my DD yelling " DAD!!!!!!!!!!"
My DD was going to go 2 years ago but it was around 5-6,000 dollars to go just for her not including a parent ....we figured that was a helluva lot of travel and lesson money so we didn,t go.
There is way more most don't think of like insurance.....if your kid gets injured playing a sport a lot of colleges don't take care of the bills it's on your dime. Make sure you ask if they cover injuries or not ours doesn't. Also meal plans, most have a basic plan that comes with either 2 or...

If there getting a 2 step advantage on every pitch why wouldn't they just steal on every pitch? Plays are bang bang as it is when there not leaving early.
I teach my DD's to have 2 different leads one on time when your not stealing and one pushing the envelope of leaving early when they are...
