My DD has 2 best friends.
1) she has been bff's with since 3rd grade. This girl is not into sports, but is very musically gifted. The girls are in orchestra together. And her bff will come to watch DD play, but I KNOW she really doesn't understand the game, but she is there for support. This bff keeps her grounded and helps her express her soft, creative side.
2) she met playing softball. They hated each other the 1st season they played together. The second season sealed the bond (also happened to be when I became good friends with the mom). They no longer play on the same TB team, but they do play school ball together and this one is also in orchestra (for now).
Other than that, most of my DD's friends are guys. All of her friends know softball comes first!!
