Exactly what I'm saying. One player. I'm not saying its impossible but to advise people here that just playing HS will get you recruited on talent is basically irresponsible. If you want to play for a local D2/D3 or even local D1; the HS only route might work if the player is talented... but should not be given as the recommended route for those talented enough to play in college. Its absolutely ridiculous.
I am not giving advice, but telling a true story.
Why it bothers you so much, and the travel folks of the same, is beyond me.
So we saved thousands of dollars, never paid for a hitting lesson, have offers on the table and are having a blast with the wonderful game of high school softball.
Can you be happy for us? and accept the fact that talent does indeed trump all. We are quite pleased and in the midst of a super competitive late high school season push, with the newspapers ramping up the features, and the whole town coming out to see the fun.
My DD learned the bulk of her skill set through baseball. Outworked the vast majority of very young ladies from 4 through 12 years of age against the boys. It has served her well. More so than anything travel softball did for her. That is a completely different discussion. Can you accept that being a super hard worker when very young in hardball, has earned her the opportunities she has now in softball? and not travel softball?
