Ok. So, I still consider myself a rookie. My DD is 10. She's a big fish in a small pond right now. She's still in REC. She's guested a few times and has done well each time. She belongs at the next level and her maturity has finally matched her ability so we are likely headed to TB after the summer. That being said, I saw a parent of another 10U kid giving direction to her DD about how to take a drop step for her skills video that was being produced at the adjacent field to the cage I was working in. I thought she was joking so I merely said "you sending this to GA and Alabama tomorrow or are you waiting a year?" She replied with a huge smile on her face "We're getting a head start. DD finally hit 60 off the machine last week. I'm also sending to SC, KSU, GA Tech, etc. etc." She showed me the email she drafted to send them once the video was "produced". I was stunned and speechless. I usually have some kind of quick witted comment in person. I had nothing.

What am I missing here? Because if I'm not missing anything, the only conclusion I can draw is she's out of her mind and is setting her child up for an unnecessary fall.

Attached you will find a link to daughter's skill video. She is currently 10 years old but already has learned everything she needs to about softball so she is entertaining offers from only the top schools in country. We are making a leap of faith that you will still be a top program in 10 years.

She expects to play SS, P and bat 1st or 3rd. Batting position is negotiable as long it is in top 4. We will provide home to 1st time when she stops growing.

We appreciate your quick response to this. Obviously we are looking for 100% scholarship.

(Though she has not played with a 12" ball yet we only expect her to improve using the larger ball)

We would LOVE to read the letter. Much more than any of those college coaches. There might be a prize in it if you could confiscate and post it here.

She had it on her phone and she had to toggle on the screen about 6 times to get to the end of it. And you guessed it.....emoticons were present.

That is hilarious!!! Obviously we make lots of videos. We do team hightlights, we post the games on our FB page, and we sometimes will make highlight reels just of DD like when she picks up, or if she has a really awesome weekend and we just feel like it. We enjoy doing the video editing, it's a lot of fun. It's never occurred to me to send them to any colleges though. LOL!
