So DD went to a "skills clinic" the other day. She is a 14U. It was a nice one that they had girls from 8th grade mixed in with girls up to 12th grade so we got to see her against some older girls which was kind of cool since she will be headed to high school this season. They all had different colored writst bands to show what year they were and DD's managed to get torn off. Anyway, in the AM session, she was killing the ball in the hitting session. She had three coaches approach her after hitting and ask her what her name was, what year she was, and what team she played for (just made a switch so she doesn't have a jersey). All of them were very complimentary of her and told her she has a great bat for a 14U. I kind of watched around and they only seemed to talk to specific girls after they would run through one of the stations. It wasn't like they were talking to every kid there (104 of them). She asked some great questions in the Q&A and it seemed like they kind of liked her. Two of them also talked to her in the afternoon and told her they liked her attitude and how coachable she was after the fielding sessions and scrimmages were over.
This is new to me, but should she follow up with the coaches for the sake of keeping in touch? I don't know if they were being nice or showing a genuine interest.
Any thoughts?
