If you ask me..HS is more taxing than travel ball. Its a tough schedule...and our HS has the girls that took weights...lifting during the softball season...in the last period of the day before practice and games. There is no logic to it and it is very hard on those girls. I am hoping they do it differently next year. They lifted weights or ran during the last period....then pitchers ran one to two miles at practice before pitching practice. Once games start...there is almost no break for them. Late nights are normal and its rough on the players and parents. They can and do get wore out.

They can and do get worn out, but the good keep right on going. It's so easy to reach post season and say no, I'm done... I've been doing this since February and I'm tired. But that dream keeps a lot of girls going. You've worked hard, time to make all of those late nights worth it.
Is this your first child or just your first child playing sports?
First and only child...She plays softball year round, so this was our monthly "girls day" that the two of us go off and do something fun together...like the pedicure. Their only teenagers once and when she gets a day off from softball, I like to spend some time with her doing something away from the sport. They grow up so fast!
