Our team is a second year 12U team. We are at that age when girls are maturing at different speeds and other interests and school work can put a strain on them. Have any of you found the miracle cure to helping get the girls focused?
We honestly are a team full of "A" class kids and they can compete with anyone when they are focused. All of them say they want to continue playing softball down the road but only four or five show up every game ready to play and compete and show the desire. One game the others join them then the next a couple of girls are off and it kills us. This weekend we went 4-2. The first game we out hit the team that beat us but 4 errors and missed signs killed us. The second game was against a weaker team and the girls could not get anything going. After that they went on a streak and won four in a row. They did everything it took to win. The one game they got down because of a mistake they fought back and won 5-2.
Any help would be great. I know there is not a miracle cure because of their age and everything pulling on them. Is there anything y'all have done to help them get through this tough age?
