DD's team lost interest in pin trading and trophies at 14U.

That's what I am thinking because DD packed hers up last year. Good memories but wasn't a big deal anymore. Just wanted to be safe before not ordering any.

They have the gift exchange in the tourney packet. Do they still do that at 14U?

I am not an expert, but I do believe they still do the gift exchange before the first game.

They still do the gift exchange at 14U but pin trading normally dries up the last year of 12U / first year of 14U...

On the "boxing things up", the one thing that both of my DD's still treasure are their trading pin collections... Of course my DW is a bit of a sentimental, take thousands of photos (thank God for digital cameras!) softball mom with a crafty side... She made picture collages for each season (action shots) and mounted the pins around each collage... Yes it was overkill and yes, I heard a lot of "not another picture mom" but they still hang in my home office (when they "outgrew" each DD's room) along with my other military and sports memorabilia... I caught DD#1 in the office staring at her first year 10U collage last weekend when she was home... She might have outgrown the pins and the collages but she certainly had not outgrown the memories and quite honestly, neither have I...

My dd is 12U and she LOVES pins. I have a friend who played in the early 90's and she let my daughter come over and pick out some pins from her collection books. My daughter loved it and I had to buy pin books for her immediately after that visit. She now has all of her pins organized her her books.

She has plenty of pins this season so..... if anyone would like to do a mail exchange with us I know my dd would really love that. Especially if she can get pins from all over the US. We are located in the KC Metro. Please PM me if you are interested in swapping via mail. I would even mail out first and send a SASE for you if that is easier for you :)

Thanks!!!
