Long time lurking first time poster....
Recently I was elected Softball Commissioner for my daughter's rec league. It is my hope to grow our softball program from barely getting enough girls to form one team in each division to at least having two teams per division. Has anyone have some advice or gone through this before?
Current:
Fall 2015 - 1 8U team (first one in a long time), 1 10U, 1 12U with some 10U, and 1 14U with 12U players.
Spring 2015 - 2 10U teams, 1 12u, and 1 14U with some standout 12U players.
Fall 2014 - 1 10U and 1 12U
Spring 2014 - 1 10U and 1 12U
I manage the 8U team and my wife is the 14U manager with me helping out.
Deep Creek Baseball Association is a PONY and Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth affiliated rec league. With our recent partnership with Babe Ruth we have seen our numbers continue to grow. We expecting the same this spring. The local high school just went to the semi finals of state. The manager is happy that we are getting the division going again. He'll need girls to replace his senior filled team.
The Board is looking to expand softball. Staring in the Spring season I have contacted all the girls in the Tee Ball and Rookie/Pinto divisions. I believe the word is starting to get around. I've started a Facebook page just for softball (DCBASoftball). Signs will be going out after the holidays.
Any other thoughts?
Ninja Edit: Our pitching stinks, in all divisions, need help there as well
