After each cycle, be sure to give your daughter a hug and tell her how awesome you think she is.

Amen... Amen... Amen..........
Stats are meaningless at 10U. Especially in rec. The talent level is so varied most stats you keep are really not a true indicator of her performance.

5 years ago I would have given you a different answer. Now, I agree completely with Sparky Guy that stats are meaningless at 10U.
Enjoy watchinng the game and learn all you can about it.

Yes. Park your chair down the line and enjoy some nachos.
If you hear yourself start to say "She only walked 2 and had 5 K's," take a rubberband and snap yourself. Let other people brag on her and practice saying - "She really enjoys it."
One thing I notice some dads and moms saying is "We are working on the drop ball." No, "she" is working on the drop ball.

An additional comment:
DD started playing 12U at 11 years old, she is now playing 18 Gold at 15. I have kept stats on her since the beginning and today there isn't one that I can remember; they are on a disk somewhere but who really cares? The fact of the matter is that no statistic that I kept on her matters to anyone but me, why do they matter? They show the level of interest that I had for the last 5 years - nothing more, nothing less.
What matters up to this point is that:
• She and I have had a blast with softball.
• I have caught for her since the beginning and she now teases me that I wear shinguards.
• She and I are having a blast with softball
• I have never missed a game and a couple of weeks ago she told me that I am the only parent that she knows that has never missed a game (I have a softball signed by her high school team thanking me for my support).
• She and I will have a blast with softball
• The Gold team that she is currently on plays on the best fields, against the best teams, at the best tournaments.
• She and I are contacting and communicating with college coaches together
The best statistic to keep is? How much fun is your DD having.

Better yet, give the rubberband to your wife and let her snap you with it...she'll have some fun as well.
Thanks all, I will take ur advice to heart...

That is my biggest peeve with parents too. Be it pitching, hitting or fielding. I guess it's like the sports fan who says "WE beat the XYZ team." For some reason some of them never get it when I tell them the team "No, you did not win. YOUR favorite team won." Get a lot of blank stares with that one.
