First off, I'm new to the forum so I'm trying to get the right lingo going. Please help a sister out if I mess it up lol. LB= league ball? or RB rec ball? and TB= travel ball?
I have a sweet dd who currently plays 10U league ball. She has been playing since she was 5. She has always done well. Gets asked to play allstars every year. This year our town has the TB girls playing and they are spread among all the teams. We have a great coach who also assists with a local TB team. Their team is doing really well with no losses this season. My daughter has always been good and keeps improving everyday and her hitting is getting stronger and stronger. She actually hit a homer in last nights game that brought our score from 5-7 to 7-7 and we ultimately won the game. What I have realized is that the league has cut the games by about 5 this year. Instead of going into mid May with games, they are done playing by Mid April this year. I suspect this has something to do with the many select/travel teams there are and also there aren't any weekend games at all. I feel like my daughter is getting ripped off in her season to play. We haven't really considered travel ball because we've never done it and I hear rumors of it costing a small fortune, which we do not have. So with this mess of a post. I just want opinions and suggestions on what we could do. I know one of the issues right now is that getting on a travel team would be hard because the season has started and most rosters are full. Also I have no idea how to get her looked at or try out. TIA
