I need information on how to find potential softball players and recruit them.
I have two main objectives:
(1) Find players to join our recreational league
(2) Find more players with great potential and convince both them and their families to join our travel teams.
Each year our recreational league numbers go down, as well as our travel team numbers. We used to have about 350 girls in our rec league, and 3 travel teams per 10U, 12U, and 14U division.
NOW-- we barely get 200 rec league girls, and are hanging by our the skin of our teeth when it comes to putting together even 1 team per travel division. We are a college town that is competing with soccer. Soccer's numbers are off the wall; how do we capture girls' hearts for the game and keep them?
Open to all options, even if they seem obvious. It's possible we may have missed something very blatant!
