Ouch.
I posted this situation to assure myself that I was not be an overprotective parent and that I was not alone in my thinking of this excessive warmup routine not being the norm.
I have serious concerns about this type of warmup/game routine for DD (and the other athletes in the organization) over the course of the season and beyond; thus I asked for some neutral feedback. I am confident that if I state my concern to the coaches that she will no longer be on the team. I am willing to do this.
SoCalASABlue, then give me your other options to assist DD in getting into that lower level college arena without the travel softball team. Of course she can walk on and most likely that will be her approach if she leaves this team. Not looking for the almighty scholarship dollar for softball (dont believe that D3 or NAIA offer much if anything for softball scholarships) but she loves playing the game.
